Greetings Monks,

For days and nights I have been searching for a simple code example of how to set up a speech recognizer in perl using SAPI 5.1 and Win32::OLE. A variety of Google keyword searches have yet to find anything useful. Here's what I've found so far:

- misterhouse has a nice perl recognizer for MS, but it uses the older SAPI 4.0, which won't work under XP unless I download and install the now-obsolete SAPI 4.0 SDK.

- I've tried to follow along with the SAPI 5.1 tutorials for C++ and transpose them into perl. Here's how far I got:

use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const ("Microsoft Speech Object Library");

my $recognizer = Win32::OLE->new('SAPI.SpSharedRecognizer');
my $recoctxt = $recognizer->CreateRecoContext();

[download]
It barfs on the CreateRecoContext. 
Win32::OLE(0.1403) error 0x80040154: "Class not registered"
    in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "CreateRecoContext" at speech.pl line 11

[download]
Can anyone point me to a perl SAPI 5.1 example? Or offer suggestions or a tutorial page on how to transpose MS C++ API code into something that Win32::OLE can recognize?

Thanks,
TROGDOR
