Help Voice recognition stopped working...

[koshki]

Hi all,
I just bought a Samsung Captivate Glide this week (on AT&T), and have been slowly learning my way around it. This is my first Android phone.

I am migrating from HandyShopper on a Palm to ToMarket. I was happily adding items to my list via the voice input button, just added "detergent" and about to add "eggs", when the voice input stopped working.

When I hit the microphone, I get the revolving "wait" circle, but it doesn't ever pop up. I tried opening voice search, but get the same thing.

Any idea how to fix this? Voice input of my list was excellent...I want it back! Oh, and please remember that I am not very knowledgeable about the technical aspects of these phones, so please use small words and speak slowly!

TIA,
Katherine

try rebooting the phone.

Sorry, I should have reported back...I accidentally did this (to find the registration numbers), and it worked!

Is there an easier way to reboot than to remove the battery?

Just power down. Once off power back up.

There are a few "reboot" apps out there, too.

Ok, well now I just feel silly, making things more complicated than they need to be!
