Best way to get stream of speech for text display

I think people get a feeling of 'woo-overload' about things they heard about near a water cooler, but don't really know the specifics of to fully understand. A lot of folk-lore-based things that are not necessarily true, but they heard it so it is on their radar.

I tend to hide my Kinects for that reason by taking them apart and putting the elements in non-kinect-shaped things.

For the record, I did track down some information on the apple developer page I linked to earlier, with some potential help, but it didn't solve my problem. These 'imply' that you can reference them to find the proper information, but I only get their four-char-values (TEXT in the case of the first one) and not any unrecognized word information.

it seems this is something which no one else has tried to work with, and my google-fu isn't high enough to get the answers.

• kSRTEXTFormat
  The text format.
  The value of this property is a variable-length string of characters that is the text of the recognized utterance. If the utterance was rejected, this text is the spelling of the rejected word. The string value does not include either a length byte (as in Pascal strings) or a null terminating character (as in C strings).
  Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.
  Declared in SpeechRecognition.h

• kSRPhraseFormat
  The phrase format.
  The value of this property is a phrase that contains one word (of type SRWord) for each word in the recognized utterance. If the utterance was rejected, this path or phrase contains one object, the rejected word. The reference constant value of the phrase is always 0, but each word in the phrase retains its own reference constant property value.
  Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.
  Declared in SpeechRecognition.h

• kSRPathFormat
  The path format.
  The value of this property is a path
  that contains a sequence of words (of type SRWord) and phrases (of type SRPhrase) representing the text of the recognized utterance. If the utterance was rejected, this path or phrase contains one object, the rejected word. The reference constant value of the path is always 0, but each word or phrase in the path retains its own reference constant property value.
  Available in Mac OS X
  v10.0 and later. Declared in SpeechRecognition.h

BTW, I have just checked the ofxASR app to see what it can generate, and it is throwing errors (error code:-2 engine initial failed) so I can't test it's usefulness.

It looks like reinstalling Parallels and windows (and avoiding the next OS which kills my version of parallels) is my next attempt.

Thanks again.
