title: VB.NET: System.Speech gives System.PlatformNotSupportedException
body: <p>I am trying to get speech recognition going on VB.NET.</p>
  
  <p>There's no errors in the code, but when i test my program i get:</p>
  
  <p><strong>An unhandled exception of type 'System.PlatformNotSupportedException' occurred in System.Speech.dll</strong></p>
  
  <p>Additional information: <strong>No recognizer is installed.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am on a Dutch device. Does this matter, and when it does, can I set Speech Recognition to English?</p>
  
  <p>Running Windows 8 Pro.</p>
  
  <p>P.S. <em>going into my control panel/speech recognition tells me Speech Recognition is not supported for your screen language.</em></p>
