2 questions about SH3 GWX 3 Gold/ just reinstalled

I use Rubini's widescreen mod and setting it up to work with the GUI and order bar I use and to add pet phrases ("Ell Eye, take her to periscope depth.") took about two evenings' work. But it's not rocket science, and not too much work. And, as I mentioned above, sh3speech will execute all keyboard commands perfectly right out of the box. That's enough to get you started and let you decide whether you want to do the work of customizing the rest.

Thx for your reaction but I can't get it to work at all. I ran the SH3speech installer. Activated GWX speech with JSGME, changed the setting in the press_to_talk file to "open mike" (and yes checked if my mic was working), started the speech engine with the GWX shortcut and started the game. Nothing happens, no response to any command.
I did notice that the speechengine running in the DOS box keeps restarting.

Any more ideas?



I use the Dutch language, "er is een uitzondering opgetreden" is about an exception. I also saw that on my system the speech recognition system is disabled because of the language setting of my system, could this be the problem?

Good chance, Microsoft requires the OS language to be the same as one of the speech recognition engine languages available. Since there isn't a dutch speech recognition engine available, Microsoft Speech is disabled.

You would need Windows Vista/7 Ultimate or Enterprise, to be able to switch languagepacks, and then be able to use the english speech (or German maybe) recognition engine.

Sorry, Dronston. Being your typical monolingual American, I never considered the language issue. May have led you on a wild goose chase! Apparent that your Win7 speech rec is using English and your OS is using Dutch. I don't know how to resolve the incompatibility. Anybody know a work-around?

lol no problem. It seems I cannot upgrade my win 7 HP to other language packs but maybe there is a speech engine add on.
I will first try the speech engine on my XP laptop which has the Warship mod installed and is also running in standard 4:3.

Hope you can get it to work and give it a try. If you get it to work and like it, please post. Seems not many people know about this mod, so I try to spread the word.

Good luck and Good hunting!
