VAC not recognizing the numbers five, six, and nine

Shift_E,

For some reason VAC doesn't recognize the numbers 5, 6, and 9. What I'm trying to do is perfom all of the 20 button presses on the right and left MFD's in Falcon 4.0. What I want to do is say "right 15" to activate button 15. However, instead of "hearing" right 5, 6, or 9, it hears the phrase as a "right one", for each of these three numbers. The other numbers seem to work ok.

I notice there are very few numbers in the training profiles for the speech engine. Do you have any hints on how to solve this problem?

Hi Bingo,

Try spelling the numbers out, like '5' = five, '15' = fifteen or 1-5 would be one five.

The speech engine trains on the sounds that make up words, not the words.

Try it out and let me know if that helps you out.

Shift_E,

I have tried all those things and it didn't work. The only phrase that worked is when I spoke the words "right 5," then it intrepreted my words as "write once". This is considered a match, so I find this is really strange.

Is there a way I can insert a voice training profile into the Microsoft Voice Translator v5.1 to train it on the number system? All the training phrases are devoid of most numbers, so I don't think it is translating spoken numbers correctly, or at least in my case these three numbers.

When I first started VAC about two years ago, I was asked if the training profiles could be changed or add certain words or phrases for training. While researching how to do this, I found out it is very difficult to do and would not offer any benefit to the training. The Microsoft Speech engine 5.1 already has an English lexicon built into it. The speech recognizer uses voice training to adapt to the sound of your voice, word pronunciation, accent, speaking manner, and even new or idiomatic words.

If VAC is not recognizing a phrase like “right one”, then something else is stopping the recognition. There are two things to check right away that could help you out. The first being the microphone volume, it’s very import to the recognition process the microphone volume is set correctly. Run the microphone wizard and see if that helps.

Next is the Pronunciation Sensitivity, move the slider to the left a little bit and see if that will improve the recognition.

With one training session, a good microphone with the volume adjusted, you should be achieving 100% recognition on your loaded profiles with VAC. If trying the two suggestions does not help you, let’s connect with voice over the internet and we’ll work out the problem.

Let me know,
