[Not really voice recognition, but related...] I have just realised that the VXI USB adapter that comes with the TalkPro Xpress does sound out as well as in. It can be selected in the Sound system pref as VXI USB 7.02. However, when I plug the earpiece cable from the microphone in, I don't get any sound. The volume is high, but not a squeak. Anyone have any ideas? Or is this non-Mac functionality?
