    Speech Recognition Start up Change

    I'm using the Speech recognition program and am frustrated by the start
    listening activation phrase. The s's in start listening cause it to activate
    from sleep even when I'm not trying to use it. The program seems to have been
    developed without consideration to normal conversations between people and
    background noise in actual use. So, is there a way to change the start
    listening phrase to something else which less common such as "Achtung"?



    Thanks in advance for any recommendations you can give me.

    Glad i don't have that issue but ,it seems to me that if the computer is
    confusing "sleep" with "start listening" i would go through another
    round of training

    No, actually the problem is that the damned thing wakes up when I'm having a
    simple conversation or listening to the radio. I've isolated the problem to
    the activation phrase start listening which is why I want to change it. Any
    ideas anyone?

    If your talking about the display that would normally say "sleeping"
    that changes to "try saying start listening" thats not going to stop. I
    have tried to trick mine into waking up by saying "start hearing" or
    start start or anything else besides "start listening" to no avail the
    only way mine will wake up is to use the exact phrase "start listening"
