[Tcl/SMAPI-discuss] Trouble running offline.tcl

[Sunil V. <ve...@me...>]

I've been having trouble getting the Tcl sample program "offline.tcl" to
work.  Several of the other samples work fine (i.e. dwtcl.tcl,
TkTalk.tcl, ttsdemo.tcl).  Any insight on how I can remedy this problem
would be appreciated.  Below is the specific error message I receive.


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents>"c:\Program
Files\tcl\bin\tclsh83.exe" offline.tcl tcl-smapi-test.wav wav
Running...
fmt = 'tcl-smapi-test.wav'
fmt = 'tcl-smapi-test.wav'
tcl-smapi-test.wav
The server was unable to open the recording device.
    while executing
"smMic on $file"
    ("for" body line 3)
    invoked from within
"for {set file [format $fmt $utterance]} {[file exists $file]} {set file
[format
 $fmt $utterance]} {
  set utt "$utterance:"
  smMic on $file
  #######..."
    (file "offline.tcl" line 57)



I looked up "The server was unable to open the recording device." in the
SMAPI SDK and found the following entry:

> SM RC RECORD OPEN ERROR
> The system was unable to open the recording device.
> Explanation:
> The speech recognition engine was not able to open the recording device. Another application is using the IBM VoiceType Dictation Adapter or the device driver was replaced by another application.
> User response:
> Try the request again. If the problem persists, report the error and restart the speech system. Save the log les of the session and submit a problem report on the speech recognition engine.


To the best of my knowledge, there are no other ViaVoice applications
running.  Hence, I'm a bit baffled.

Thanks,
