 Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2005 3:09 pm Post subject: Voice Command Question |
 |
|
Greetings all!
I tried the voice command system in SC and I had all kinds of problems. I'm not sure if it was because I needed a better microphone or because the software was not the best... most likely the former instead of the latter.
Anyone have excellent results using the voice command? If so... what kind of microphone do you use? Mine must be ancient because I had a feedback problem.
Let me know your experience ok? Thanks! |

It worked fine with me after I trained the Speech recognition software.
I kept reading those little pieces of text provided within the settings.
My microphone is a standard tabletop mic for PC approximately 8 years old 
But.. for some reason they took the boat to 300 ft. or so everytime I said "oh, sh*t"  |

LOL!!!
I had all kinds of trouble with it. I got feedback a lot. I did the full speach training program. I think I read War of the Worlds along with the rest of the microsoft's little book entries over and over again.
I had a tiny little pc microphone but it was not on a stand. Depth control was a HUGE problem! The program would plunge me into the bottom! I kept on trying to get it to work but I think I drove my wife crazy issuing commands to the program.
So... you NEVER had much of a problem with it? It worked well for you? You had your game sound on over your speakers right? |

Ooops! I forgot to answer 
Well not NEVER.. some times when things got hectic my crew had difficulties keeping up with what I'm trying to say and it tend to lead us in to rather awkward situations..
E.g. While creeping at PD I say: "make your course 2-5-5." and the response I get is: "All ahead flank" ....NOOOOO 
But at the times I kept my cool I usually had no problem getting my message through.
And it's just too cool look through the 'scope and say out loud "Launch tube 1!"  |

That can be a killer. I was playing the DW demo last night using voice commands. My course change was misinerpreted to firing tube 2. Ooops |

| I trained the Microsoft voice recognition with 6 different texts on an mic I've had since 98. The only time it didn't recognize anything was when I would say "ten knots" instead of "one zero knots" but that was my own fault. |
