Can't extract?

  1. Go to your start menu and open up the "Control Panel".
  2. Make sure you have "View by" set to "Category" (not large/small icons).
  3. Click on: "Ease of access", then "Speech recognition" and then "Text to Speech" (to the left).
  4. A window should pop up, go to the "Speech Recognition" tab.
  5. Set "Language" to "Microsoft Speech Recognizer 8.0 for Windows (English - UK)", if you can't, then just set it to something else and pray that it works.
  6. Click Ok and try again (no program restart should be necessary).

Dear Silverfisk. I don't know if you still read these comments, but in case you are, I need your help. Like you, I am also from Sweden. But unlike you I can't change my speech recognition to english UK. The only language I have is Microsoft Anna english united states. And without english UK I cannot commit extraction. If there is any way you can help me, I would appreciate it greatly, since manual faceposing can take up to hours. And with your method it only takes minutes. I really hope you can help me, sincerely, SilverPlayer.
