First the good news; SH4 Speech shouldn't affect any mods you have so don't worry about that for now. Print out the list of commands sheet which comes with SH4 Speech and use those before trying to create your own.

Second, not so good news: If you look in the readme it mentions using the Windows to let it familiarize itself with your voice. I believe that's the SDK part (not sure, it's been a while and my new system doesn't have SH4 Speech yet) but essentially you read a bunch of paragraphs that Windows shows you and it highlights what you are reading to indicate that it is understanding your speech. This is a key step prior to actually using SH4 Speech.

Third: forgive me stating the obvious but you have to start SH4 speech prior to starting up SH4 itself. You'll know if SH4 Speech is working because a DOS-type box shows up and the last line in that should be "listening".

If you are not getting the DOS box at all then you have a problem not related to the game but the installation of SH4 Speech itself. Make sure SH4 Speech is installed in the appropriate folder (I can't remember offhand if it needs to be in the SH4 main folder or not).

Hope this helps.
