This area is for the Voice Recognition abilities of PowerHome.  PowerHome uses the Microsoft SAPI 4 modules for its voice recognition and text to speech.  PowerHome also provides support for SAPI 5 text to speech.

Choose whether to enable Voice Recognition or not.

If VR is enabled, you can choose whether the engine should automatically start when PowerHome is launched.

If VR is automatically launched at startup, set the user and grammar that it will automatically start with.  The Microsoft SAPI allows you to individually train the VR engine on a per user basis.

The Automatic Gain, Complete Timeout, and Incomplete Timeout parameters directly affect the Microsoft SAPI engine.  You should not change the default settings unless you are familiar with the engine and the parameters.  See the VR Setup section in the Voice chapter.
