It does not work on Vista and neither with windows 7 as far as i know (they both share the same speech recognition anyways).

BUT

The vista speech engine is well capable of controlling mediaportal itself - at least since the release of WSR macros [ Windows Speech Recognition Macros - Home ].

I'm currently busy building a set of macros to control mediaportal. Basically every ACTION or WINDOW from Mediaportal is accessible via voice - including different voice_commands for one action and Text to speech answers.

My computer even reads out loud the news or the current weather for a city i ask him for [and that even in german (-; ]. Also (s)he is pretty funny as she even tells me a joke if i want (catched by a randomly generated joke rss-feed.

It also handles wildcards, so i can say "How is the weather in [...]" and it reads back the weather for the city or "Say Hello to [...]" - It's pretty amazing.

The only thing missing would be the interaction with the Mediaportal databases - So unfortunatly you won't be able to say something like: "Play Artist [ARTIST]". It works with windowsmediaplayer though.

I'll share my macroset when i'm finished - it will be in german though beacause WSR is localized and doesn't recognize other languages.
