VERBAL ORDERS WITH SHSPEECH 2.54

Very interesting and detailed comment BigWalleye, thank you. No doubt that all should work in English, just as in the U-boats should use German. That puts us in climate and in the context of the submarine that we command. Some of the most used commands and knew from watching movies to American submarines in the Pacific, even before knowing Silent Hunter. My pronunciation of those orders in English is quite acceptable, so I think I will not have trouble making a test to see how it goes. We know that in these simulators almost everything is trial and error. The bottom line is realism giving such verbal orders to the crew, and that this answer repeating such orders and executing. That forces us to discipline ourselves more in the role of a commander so that in an emergency, we can shout a valid order instead of a curse or "My God, they're going to sink!" When you mention the use of headset microphone, you can use only the microphone and the sound of my computer goes through an audio and amplified to two big speakers?

No, I use the headset full duplex. I don't want to post an endorsement for the one I use, because it took some tuning to get the input side to work well. But the headset I use is 5.1 compliant, and gives great presence and spatial resolution.

Apologies for the double post, but I just noticed the lines quoted above and realized that I wasn't quite clear. I was and am not questioning your English pronunciation. You wouldn't be the first native Spanish-speaker I've known who spoke perfect unaccented English.

The problem is in the speech rec software. My Windows Speech Recognition package recognizes North American English phonemes. So when I use it to interpret my English, it has no problems. But when I use it for German, it's not as good. An example: I want to fire a torpedo using the command: "Torpedo los!" "Torpedo" is OK. But "los" in English would be pronounced "loss" and that is what the speech rec would be looking for. And I can't use "lose" or "loose' either. So I decide to say instead: "Torpedo feuer!" Oops! "Feuer" in English would sound like "fewer". So I have to write "Torpedo foyer" or even "foyah" to tell the speech rec what sound to look for.

If you have a version of Windows distributed in South America, I suspect its speech rec is loaded with American Spanish phonemes, which are definitely different from English ones. (Think "ella".) I don't know for sure, but speaking perfect English and using an English language set of voice commands might give some odd responses.

The Windows 7 ultimate versión in my computer is for Latin America in Spanish. Not if it benefits me or else I create a problem in the question of the pronunciations. I do not know which is the tolerance of this voice recognition program, and if necessary to speak as an Englishman to be properly interpreted. Either way clarify how other questions that I have about Silent Hunter and can command a submarine in a decent way, I will make an attempt with some basic commands, such as to give any captain to his crew. I wonder if it is possible to alter such orders, since in American films have seen for example: Refer to the periscope with the orders: "Up scope" or "Down scope" abbreviating the word periscope. When firing the torpedoes the commander ordered: "Fire one," someone in the control room repeats "Fire one" and press the shutter button saying then: "One fired sir" or even "One fired electrically" instead of the phrase SH "Torpedo in the water." The repetition of the phrase "Sir, yes sir" should be able to be turned off because the atmosphere of American submarines seemed to be more relaxed, just as in SH3 a mod eliminated the annoying and repetitive "Jawol Herr Kaleun". SH4 audio talking I noticed that the voices come at a very low volume, despite being the maximum forcing up the overall volume and lower individual sounds. The noise coming out of the tube torpedo almost not heard, and no cries of joy when a torpedo hits the target. When data dialing individual numbers are heard different tone of voice, which sometimes looks like a robot who speaks and you hear a human voice. This does not happen when the German language, heard with greater harmony and clarity is used.
