Speech to text in VB 2005

Question

Greetings all.

I am a student that is a bit new to the world of VB 2005 (and VB net for that matter) and am trying to use the "speech to text" function to dictate text into a textbox.  After a lot of study into the subject it seems there are few (if any tips).  If anyone has an example of code or a process to do this It would save years off my life.

 

Thanks in advance.

Learn how Text-to-Speech has reached new heights of quality, which enables deployment of customer-facing speech applications that rely on it to support a pleasant user experience.

 

2. Text to Speech with the Microsoft Speech Library and SDK version 5.1

This article describes an application used to exercise some of the Text To Speech features available to .NET developers through the Microsoft Speech 5.1 SDK. This article does not address the newer speech server related libraries, nor does it address web based deployments of speech related technologies.

Thanks Bruno.

My problem is actually occuring in the reverse order of "speech to text" being used in Visual Basic 2005.  Thus far I have upgraded to the latest edition of framework, downloaded "speech SDK 5.1" and have created the program I need to command with speech (robot movement program) but incorperating speech and having speech to text work in textboxes is alien to me.  Any aditional help would be greatly appreciated.
