A problem has occurred (SMAPIRC = 215 already opened for connection to a speech engine). If this problem occurs again restart the User Wizard.

Problem:

When trying to use different features of IBM ViaVoice, one of the following error messages appear:

  • “A problem has occurred (SMAPIRC = 215 already opened for connection to a speech engine). If this problem occurs again restart the User Wizard.”
  • A Speech engine error occured. API =SmConnect; RC = 15; Additional Error code; -15

This error may also reference: RC = -4

Cause:

IBM ViaVoice uses the TCP/IP protocol as a communication link between its processes and the speech recognizer engine. This can happen if TCP/IP is not installed, or a Firewall application blocks ViaVoice from using it.

Solution:

If TCP/IP is not installed, please use the “Network Connections” or “Network” Control Panel to install it. The Windows CD may be required to complete the installation.

If a Firewall application is installed and is blocking the TCP/IP port, please refer to the Firewall’s User Manual for information on allowing programs access to this port. All of the ViaVoice programs (EXE files) that exist in the ViaVoice Installation Bin directory (C:\Program Files\ViaVoice\Bin – by default) must have access to the TCP/IP port in order for ViaVoice to function properly.

Dragon is a speech recognition software. Switch to dragon and say goodbye to Keyboard & Mouse.

How To Transfer Dragon User Profiles

DVDs don’t remember whether they’ve been read before, so installing Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a new computer is just like installing it the first time. If you are transferring your User Profiles from the old machine, though, you don’t want to redo General Training. Instead, cancel out of the New User Wizard just after you have gone through the first steps that ask you about your age, your accent, and so forth (in other words, right before running Audio Setup). Move on to Import a User Profile. Then you’ll be able to go back and set up the rest of the files. In case you’re wondering, a new User Profile requires about 140 MB of hard drive space. One of the easiest ways to transfer the files from one computer to another is to use a USB flash drive. This way, you can easily copy the files from the first computer and move them to another.
