using Visual Studio 2010 and speech recognition on windows 7?

I've never used Speech Recognition (SR) at all, but I'm hearing that the built-in SR capabilities of windows 7 is not half-bad. I'm thinking that it might be a real productivity booster with Visual Studio so I can decrease the use of the mouse (no Emacs comments please ;-). I don't envision not using the keyboard to type the actual code--but maybe that wo开发者_JS百科uld work too?

Does anyone have experience using SR with Visual Studio on Windows 7? If so, any tips on usage?

Windows Speech Recognition uses UI Automation (or MSAA when UI Automation isn't available) to interact with applications. Unfortunately, Visual Studio 2008 and below had a very odd implementation of MSAA that made it impossible to use Windows Speech Recognition with Visual Studio 2008.

Therefore, by default, devenv.exe is listed as a 'blocked' executable.

If you want to try Visual Studio 2010 with Windows Speech Recognition, you could unblock devenv.exe by going to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Preferences\AppCompatDisableMSAA

in regedit and removing the value named 'devenv.exe'.

I haven't tried VS 2010 with Windows Speech Recognition, so you're on your own.
