The SHSpeechEngineTest.exe doesn't crash now in XP. Says it's listening, but im not sure its working. I keep saying things like "all stop" but i dont see anything happening. The Received Commands window is empty.


I know my voice stuff is configured correctly, because in the control panel i've already got it configured and the "training" works.

I have Windows 7 Premuim, Swedish. And need Windows Enterprise or Ultimate to install English laguagepack. CRAP!!

Do you guys know if I can get English language in any way or do i need to buy a new Windows?

And why do you need English language to use this mod?

Whats important for this mod is the language your Windows voice recognition understands. So if the swedish Windows only understands english, it will (or at least should) work. Thats the reason for the language pack.

So i think at a later date, even other languages might be possible, but someone needs to localize it for each language.

Thanks for the reply, but now I found out that my Windows, wich is in Swedish ONLY don't support Windows speech recognition. Damn IT!!
Is there any other software I can use instead of Speech recognition?

I really really really want this mod to woooork!!!

Please post screenshots of the main window as well as the 'installed recognizers' window. That's exactly why I made it... so I can see important system settings of yours...

Because my stupid Windows 7 Premium does not cooperate with Windows Voice recognition, I've downloaded VAC builder, ( http://www.dwvac.com/index.html)
in hope that it will solve my problems and i can use this awesome mod.

but i dont know how I use VAC builder. How do I make it work with SH5?
How can I use the SH5 commands?

I really appreciate any help.

Want this awesome Mod to work!

EDIT: Well, I've found out that its impossible to use VAC without Windows speech recognizer, who's not available for my Windows language. And I cant download any language pack with this version either.
So now I give up. Im mad and sad!

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

* Windows Vista
* Windows 7
* English language pack must be installed!!!
See Windows Update to install a language pack. Alternatively, check these links:
http://windows7center.com/news/windows-7-rtm-language-packs-now-available-via-windows-update/
http://keznews.com/6149_Download_Windows_7_MUI_Language_Packs_-_Official_32-bit_and_64-bit_Direct_Download_Links
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934377


IMPORTANT: Any older platform may likely NOT work and cause CTD’s.


...


Assistence needed to further improve the commands, and in the future for localization (once the mod has proven to be stable and functional enough)!
Hi,

i tried to install another laguage pack with this links, but it didn't work.

I found a tool (called vistalizator) to change laguage in all versions of Windows 7 and Vista.
I downloaded the laguage pack from your link an installed it with the tool. Now i can chance the language in speech recognition's options.

here's the link to the tool, hope it's ok to post it here.

http://www.chip.de/downloads/Vistalizator_31709612.html

It's a link to a german magazin, but tool is in english. Always click on download...

...waiting for localisation for germany...

Thank you sooo much! No i just need the Windows Speech recognition i think, because it's not istalled im my Windows.

I tested the SHSpeechTest, and now it does not crash. But I only got an empty blank window.

The main window should not be blank. Please post the details (or better, a screenshot)

@ernesto, good find, but does it allow you to use the mod in English?

Well.
Its just blan.

Dont know if the pic is going to give you anything but here it go!

http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/speechtest.jpg

EDIT: Before when it CTD, i didn't have any Speech recogtnition program, as my Windows was in Swedish only with no abbility to update or install English languagepack.

But when i used Ernestos link above, i finally could download and install English language pack.
I treid VAC builder, another Voice recognition program before English language pack installed, which didn't work because I needed the Windows speech recognition. But when i installed languagepack, and
Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 i managed to get VAC to work.

But still, the mod doesn't work, and neither is Speechtest. I guess the MOD does not get any contact, or does not know i have Microsoft Speech SDK installed.

Hope you understand what I am saying. English is not my native language.

Hehe, redownload the mod (it's now v1.2), this new test application provides more info now
Sorry for the confusion

Try to say something like 'ahead flank', or simply 'fire'. Oh, and make sure the right language is selected and obviously the microphone is properly set up (you can test this in Windows it's own Speech recognition panel).



As you can see, I also have the german pack installed but this one is not used as of yet. The SHSpeechTest uses the English speech engine from Windows. Also note, my Regional language is set to Dutch!

I have windows 7 64 bit and have been using this Mod for the last few days and it works perfectly for me, i just wanted to say thank you Skwasjer for the Mod, it is fantastic to be able to issue commands by talking through my Microphone and the crew follow my orders, it makes the game more immersive to play . I also wanted to say thank you to the other mod makers in this community who have made other mods that i have installed that make the stock silent hunter 5 more enjoyable to play.

Thank you all for your hard work.
