There is a message box that displays the message below if it doesn't get a Kinect recognizer or there was an issue creating the speech recognition engine. Is this the error message you are seeing?  

"There was a problem initializing Speech Recognition. Ensure you have the Microsoft Speech SDK installed.","Failed to load Speech SDK",

I remember you when you were an evangelist presenting in Richmond, Va (2001?). I'm having a great time with the Kinect, Xbox Controller, C#, VPL and Lego Mindstorms. I hadn't yet played with the positional data for the sound. This must mean that there are two microphones on the Kinect getting a stereo image? Does this risk sound issues related to phase issues in the recordings? Is the recorded output the sum of both mics, or one mic, or the other? Can you get both to make a stereo recording?

Hello! Sorry for my bad English and straight forwarding.

Few questions to ask here. I'm not fully understand this.

There is no coding details on how to develop/code this section.

Step by Step guidance for beginner like us is vital.

Or any other source which we can refer?

Is that any coding example which include this audio tracking and together which skeleton tracking?

is there any code sample fundamental which working together with both audio and skeleton tracking?

Need guidance here.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your feedback:)

The issue for audio programming is that there is a lot to cover - sound source localization, audio recording, and speech recognition so I wanted to make sure to cover all of them and how they work versus coding the demos for all of them individually as there is a lot of monotonous code that you can just reuse from the samples. Either way it's good feedback and perhaps I should look at just doing one of the demos.

@Dan Hello Dan. I have a rather small problem i think with speech aspect. I want to add some speech elements in my project but when am about to add this line
'private EnergyCalculatingPassThroughStream stream;' i get error that i dont have a reference to it. Ive added all references and using statements that are needed. Can yo please tell me what am i missing?
Thank you in advance.

Hmm, I'm not sure what could be missing, can you copy/paste the exact error?

Big Smile Big Smile

Just one question... what about Portuguese Speech Recognition, you know if there will be any language pack available for kinect? Being the Portuguese the 5th most spoken language in the world, with 272,9 milions of people talking it, it's important that Microsoft take this in mind. 

Thanks and keep the good work! 

Obrigado. Smiley

The team has announced what's coming in the next version on their blog, and the next language packs coming are: French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. If you want to give feedback to the Kinect team, I'd suggest you do it directly on that blog post.

Here's a snippet from the blog post:

Among the most exciting new capabilities is Kinect Studio, an application that will allow developers to record, playback and debug clips of users engaging with their applications.

Is it possible that in a program I can record video (with audio) and at the same I have voice recognition. Thanks!

- Why do we need the EnergyCalculatingPassThroughStream class? Is it really necesary for just recongizing single words like "play" or "stop"?

- In which part of the code do I set the language pack and how do I do it for example for loading the Spanish Mexico one?

I'm just a newbie in Kinect programing and have a favor to aks you.
-Can you show me how to make a simple C# code that when you say something to the Kinect it will immediately display your sentence to a textbox?

Looking forward to your response ASAP.
Thanks.
