[Q] speech / voice recognition stopped working

---

Voice recognition stopped working all of a sudden yesterday. Have been using it with no problem since December.

Essentially, when using voice to text message, the screen pops up telling me to say something... I speak and the "sound bars" in the lower right show that my voice is being recognized, but then the speech window just resets and tells me to speak again. Eventually, it just closes.

When using bing search via voice search I speak and it recognizes it and then says "We're sorry we cant access the network right now".

Any idea why this is happening all of a sudden? Has anybody else ran into this issue on their windows phone/radar?
