Error: Training Could Not Be Carried Out for "Bravo" (99296)

SUMMARY

You may encounter the following error message when training words such as "Bravo" with Voice Pilot:

   Training could not be carried out for "Bravo", most likely due to
   background noise.  Retrain this word?
                       <YES>     <NO>

Changing the word spelling or capitalization allows you to train this word.

MORE INFORMATION

The word Bravo is part of the File Manager vocabulary and can be used to select drive B on your system when available. If you try to train this word when using Voice Pilot you will get the above error message and you won't be able to train it. This will happen even if there is no background noise or if you add the word as a command to a different vocabulary. As long as the word stays exactly the same, training cannot be completed.

Workaround

Delete the word and replace it with a noncapitalized "bravo" or with a different spelling, such as "Brravo".
