SUPPORTED COMMANDS

http://sh4.skwas.net/redist/shspeech_commands.xml


HOW DOES IT WORK?

My mod is using a custom written DLL and some Python script-files. The entire speech recognition configuration can be controlled using two XML files, which contain the grammar for the accepted spoken words, and a commands file which controls the translation to a game command. Optionally you can capture any command and alter it’s behavior form the .py files I included.

See the readme for more details.

Do not redistribute or reuse this mod without my permission.


SOURCE CODE

Source code is included in the Documentation\Source code folder. You will need Visual Studio 2008 (C#).

Assistence needed to further improve the commands, and in the future for localization (once the mod has proven to be stable and functional enough)!
