Voice attack not working with comms !

[Jateu]

All other keyboard commands via voice attack work but none of the comms commands work. I've checked windows voice rec and calibrated. Checked all other keys on keyboard with no issues. Voice attack is recognising commands. And ive read all 50 pages of va manual! Any one point out if I'm missing anything?

If you first press the comms button \, does VA work with the other comms commands? F5, F8, etc..

 

I had a similar problem and found a profile that had a 'special' Comms command for the / that worked.

[Jateu]

Haven't even got that far. But commands like rearm and requesting tanker don't work either. Where is this special profile? Do you still have a copy?

[Snacko]

I don't remember where I got this. And it was weird....

 

For the Tower and Ground Crew commands, which use the \ key. They had a command right after them that was called *undefined*. When you try to edit that command, the list just shows the first item selected, which was Start Voice Attack Listening. So, I don't think that was the actual real command that was originally in that script. But I could not save/export that profile without fixing that command, and so I selected that first time. (Start Voice Attack Listening) And then I saved the attached profile.

 

For some crazy reason, this fixed my problem of the \ key never working. I have not tested without that command yet. Maybe I don't need it anymore? And maybe there was some change in the program that made it become *undefined*. Or maybe it was from some strange foreign keyboard character?

[Jateu]

Just tried it and I still have to use \ first which defeats the object of using VA in the first place. I have seen tutorials on YouTube from the likes of froogle showing you can bring up the coms menu without using keyboard. VA forum is a waste of time for I for. They just told me to ask those of you using VA with dcs. Disappointed and a waste of money.

I am a bit baffled by your statements gentlemen. You can use voice attack with DCS pretty well IMO. My only problem at the moment is that it doesn't understand what I am saying because my microphone is crap.

 

I just created a very simple profile that contains (don't laugh) the F keys, so I say F1, F2 and so on, and I have the PTT on the HOTAS like in real life.

I have also created a few commands as sequences, like "ground power on" which does "F8, wait 0.5s, F2, wait 0.5s, F1".

 

So I can use the F keys for the views, and for the comms.

 

I know it isn't as immersive, but it is easy to do and it works. :)

[Jateu]

Yeah good point but I have gone to this effort for vr. Again froggle has it working! Is it because i have the hotas warthog im getting this issue?

[Jateu]

Think i have found it. It looks like my mic switch on hotas is causing a conflict. Anyone figured it out?

By any chance does any kind person out there know where i can find a list of all the coms menu options. Many thanks

I do the same with Voice Attack.

 

First of all my English keyboard does not use the / or \ for comms. It uses the # key. So I have a Voice Attack command "comms on"= #. This can of course be mapped to the actual button on your stick/throttle. The result is the same. It opens the comms menu on your screen.

 

As for a list of comms commands, they tend to differ per sim.

 

Also since the comms menus are dissimilar, I have "F1 to F12" mapped in as well. If you just fly one or two simulations, then there is no problem with mapping all the commands in. However many sims comms commands are reticulated in different ways.

 

As for issues, I have none with Voice Attack. But I am used to using MCE and as with Voice Attack, you must use the windows speech training quite a few times before the voice recognition becomes totally efficient.

 

With Voice Attack you can even do macros. E.g. in Black Shark I have "wingman, engage, multiple data linked targets". One voice command and multiple key presses!

 

VA, doesn't replace a HOTAS, but has replaced all key presses for my comms.:)

 

Hope this helps.

VA DC-10 Profile & Comms List

 

Hi Guys

 

I only started using VA with the A-10 recently and have been pretty happy with the results so far but as with anything it will take more time to fine tune the software but my initial results have been positive enough to warrant more time refining.

 

I noted that Jateu was after a list of A-10 comms and I have included the one I did up to make it easier to do the programming of the VA profile.

 

Thanks

I am using Killer voice commands, and tried voicemacro and various others. In the voice recognition panel all my phrases shows the macro'ed key, but in DCS none of the macro keys are working. Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

[71st_AH Rob]

Are any of you using VIACOM profiles for Voice Attack by Hollywood? I find it much easier than making my own profiles as a starting point.

I have no issues with comms using Voice Activated Commands - been using it since Black Shark 1 both with proper comms phrases and using F key phrases and both have always worked flawlessly.

 

You do need to remember that the keys for this sim's control refer to the US keyboard.

 

So if you put in the symbols shown in the control section, but you don't use a US keyboard, you may well have some problems.

 

For example, the comms menu key is shown as a backslash (\) but on a UK keyboard, it's actually this key: #

 

 

Worth bearing in mind - especially if you use someone else's profile.

 

btw - I'm about to upload some videos to YT and a whole load of voice command profiles for DCS World modules. Just take a few days to get it all done and edited and uploaded :)

[majapahit]

I can remember my mic/recognition did not pick up (my) single letter "F" pronounciation

 

so my voice for F1 is

 

'fox 1;foxone;fox1;inbound;flight;engage;my target;rtb;return to base;rearm and refuel'

 

per all the possible F1 subcommands

 

similar for 'auto' hold path with the A10c

 

my voice is

'Auto Path;AutoPath;Path hold;path'

press 2 than A

 

with my comment:

 

2 - auto - pèèèèth

 

(I am native dutch speaker :) )

 

by the way my radio command \ is

'radio'

press \ key and hold for 0.1 seconds and release

 

I've found to default to 'hold for 0.1 second' (or even 0.3) makes a lot of stubborn keystrokes work

For the F commands for the function keys, I enter the wording as "Eff" so "Eff One, eff two, eff three" etc - works fine for me.

 

I find that you often have to use strange spelling etc for the prog to get exactly what you are trying to do. Like for the VC I will enter the phrase as Vee See.

Having the same issue, Just purchased voice attack, found this same issue and did the same as yourself.

Just as you say. Have followed the advice but not fixed yet,

Did you find an answer that worked? Will keep trying, but if you found a magic button I would like to know where it is.

[squid509]

hmm odd

I'm using a profile I found here in the user down load section

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1459461/

 

this profile works but it will not open the coms menu for you need to hit the hotas mic fwd/mid/down or \ if you are using simple coms

 

I all so found this YouTube play list helpful

 

if you can give some more info maybe we can help you

are you making your own profile or using one some one else made?

is voice attack recognizing your commands? green dots in the voice attack window

is voice attack sending commands to DCS?

dose the view change randomly when you try to use a voice command ?

Attempting to make own profile.

Green dots showing.

Systems reacting to voice.....on/off/open/close

When I attempt to call "tower" or "comms" it skips to external F2 view or no reaction at all. Same results in Nevada as in (that other place) The not Nevada one.

 

Seems to be working for frooglism fella. ?

 

I'm late for work just now but a push to talk button ? Could that be it?

[Bahnzo]

It's hard to say without more info, but first thing that came to my mind is making sure the commands are being sent to the correct location. IE: on the VA page there's the drop down box named "Send commands to:". You want to make sure this says either "Active Window" or "Digital Combat Simulator".

Really late for work now, Thanks for your reply. I'm not screaming at it and throwing a fit. I'm impressed with what it's doing so far. Just would be handy to get those "comms" working without downloading and running half a dozen third party programs to do it if possible. Will check those those boxes ASAP.

Ohhhhh I'm sooooo late for work.

[pocketedition]

Yep, says "Active Window"

[Bahnzo]

Try making sure it's set to Digital Combat Simulator and see if that's any different.

 

Are you using VA to send radio/comm messages or for something like flaps, gear?

 

You know what would work best? Export your profile and post it so we can use it and see if there's something broken.

if its doing this to you, you don't have the coms menu open you need to hit the \ key or the correct mic button with the radio tuned to the correct frequency

 

you also need Easy coms on for the \ key to work

 

I'm guessing that your profile is not hitting the correct keys in the correct order

I recommend using the profile I liked above

you don't need the ATC static mod but if you don't get it you cant say the airport's name since DSC sorts that list in the coms menu by distance

but saying 'tower' and a command will work just only to the closest tower to you

I thought the ATC static mod was broken and no longer works properly with the current release version 1.5.4 ?
