SH4 w. TMO 2.5 with VoiceBot (actual verbal commands!)

[LordCucumber]

Hey guys!

So I decided to try something, probably has been done before, but I now run pretty much all my keyboard shortcuts through voice commands in Silent Hunter 4 featuring Trigger Maru Overhauled 2.5.

I can now verbally tell the crew to, for instance, surface the boat, instead of using my keyboard, increasing immersion somewhat :salute:

Mind you this is just a demonstration, but I fully intend to write a full set of working commands (which can be tricky, as the AI on the Bot isn't perfect!), including multiple variations to the current ones. :ping:

The audio doesn't seem to be synched up in your video.

I do like the trigger word, so it doesn't react to everything. My kids have way too much fun yelling "crash dive" or "pause game" while I'm playing. Voice command really does improve the immersion while playing.

hmm this is interesting. I suppose that this program can do voice commands with SH3 allso :hmmm: I will definitely try it.

I think it will do what you are looking for. Might save you some development. And IMO, the immersion is fantastic.
