I don't mind at all; I hope it helps anyone that jumps in late like I did. I don't foresee much in the way of updates happening, since TMO isn't likely to get an update itself.

Did anyone try this in Windows 10? Is Cortana backwards compatible with the old Speech Recognition Engine or would it require a complete rewrite?

EDIT: BTW, I think I still have a modfied file for a 1080p screen somewhere, if someone needs it I could post it.

EDIT2: Disregard all of that. I did find an issue though:

The clicks in the stock command section are shifted. Saying depth under keel results in periscope depth, saying knuckle right causes knuckle left etc.

So I'm getting ready to try this out and am mostly interested in the ability to do things other than simply use voice commands to hit keys (otherwise I'd just create a Voice Attack profile). I use TMO and OTC (The TMO version, of course). OTC changes both keybindings as well as the UI, so a regular TMO profile will probably not work well (though it might be an okay base as far as click locations). My searching has not found an OTC profile for this and I'm wondering if anyone has made such a profile that they'd be willing to share. If not, I may need some assistance in learning how to create one myself. I'll have a look at the documentation soon.

Hi I have a problem with speech rec on sh4

I issue a command like nav map, goes to the nav map fine. But other commands like speed and depth and depth under keel, I speak the command and the mouse moves - but the mouse misses the button for say depth under keel for example. This renders most of the commands useless for me I'm afrai, and suggestions?

It sounds like the mouse click locations in the config files are not lined up with what you've got on your screen.

Are you running any mods that change the orders bar?
Are you setting the correct screen resolution in the batch file?
Are you running SH4 in fullscreen or windowed mode?

I checked the csv config files and changed the files command bar and files by adding to the top lines the correct resolution I'm running 1920x1080 so I changed both those files top lines to my desktop screen resolution. It didn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks

The resolution is set in the sh4speech.bat file. Open that up, and you should see a line like:
voice 1024x768 stock 1 right sh4
That's where you need to set your resolution. The ones in the .csv files are just labels, if I remember correctly.

By sh4 speech .bat file do you mean the file I run to recognize my speech commands, the one I use is called "Sh4Speech - trigger maru"

I had a look at the text in the file and there is a line as razark mentioned that says


C:\Users\Barca1\Desktop\shSpeech2.55\dist>voice 1024x768 "trigger maru" 1 right
sh4
shSpeech 2.54 by Minsc (Erik Knepfler)

Specified resolution: 1024x768 (change under sh4speech.bat)
Using command set: trigger maru
Delay multiplier: 1 (change under sh4speech.bat)
Mouse hand: Right-handed

Caching trigger maru key_codes.csv
Caching trigger maru voice_commands.csv
Caching trigger maru key_commands.csv
Caching trigger maru variables.csv
Caching trigger maru tubes.csv
Caching trigger maru command_bar.csv
Caching trigger maru dials.csv
Listening...

I notice it says 'change under sh4speech.bat - I'm guessing this isn't the file I need to change that info as it is uneditable - where do I find sh4speech.bat

I can't find it in any of the sh4speech folders within the main folder?

Thank you all by the way for your help so far, much appreciated.

And also I'm running Trigger Maru 2.5 and Optical Targeting correction those are my only mods

Cheers

Yes, that's the right .bat file. However, mine only has two lines.
It looks like yours contains the log of a running session, for some reason.

Change the resolution in that command to match what you're running and see if it helps.
The TMO files I created are not perfect, and I never tested them on other screen resolutions besides mine. The mouse click locations may need some adjustment for other screens.

I don't know if OTC makes any changes to the orders bar or other mouse click locations. If it does, it's going to be a matter of trial and error to figure out what works on your system.

I know this has more to do with the WSR implemntation in Win7, but I find that if I grunt something that Windows thinks is a command, it will execute it. For example, if I clear my throat, it thinks I wanted to press the TAB key (which is fine, because the tab key isn't defined in my csv file). But sometimes Windows thinks I want to open up an application, or it opens up a help file, or switch applications.

Anyone know how to give SH4 Speech exclusive access to the WSR? Thanks!

I had the same issue as Kickswitch, all I had to do however was go to the command bar csv file and change the location for the buttons on the UI that the mouse was not moving to correctly. The X value was originally 189, I changed to 350 and now it works perfectly (had the problem with Battlestations and Depth Under Keel, changed it to that for both of them. Their X axis location was both originally 189).

Hope everyone is doing well! Nice to see there's still some interest in this old thing I whipped up in like a month so long ago.

I got a good laugh out of that thanks
