Multiple Activation Phrases.

Postby mag_maverick on Tue Jan 31, 2006 5:07 am

Hi Shift-E.

Sorry to keep bothering you but I think I've come across another problem.

I think the current programming is not allowing more than two Activation Phrases for each Action Description. I have 3 different Activation Descriptions with 3 Activation Phrases and in each case the 3rd phrase is not recognized.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyway you have a great program. I hope letting you know about these small problems help you make a great program better.

Thanks...MM

Hi MM,

No it doesn't bother me at all and it does make for a better tool. I have a FS9 profile that I use for talking to ATC, it has 9 phrases and most of the ATC commands have 3-4 phrases each. Try saying the phrase when you add it and test all the phrases in the builder.

Multiple Activation Phrases - Fixed

Postby mag_maverick on Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:43 am

Hi Shift_E,

I'm not sure what fixed this problem. First I found an additonal simple Action Discription that had 2 action phrases assigned, i.e. "Normal Time" and "Set Normal Time". I added the action phrase "Set Real Time" Tested and they worked.

I checked the other two Action Descriptions I had assigned three Action phrases but could see anything that would prohibit them from working. I'll use one of the Action Descriptions to explain what I did next.

Action Description - Switch to Cockpit View
Action Phases - Switch to Cockpit view, Cockpit View, Display Cockpit View.

The first two worked, the 3rd did not. I deleted "Cockpit View". Tested in game and "Switch to Cockpit View" and "Display Cockpit View" worked. I added "Cockpit View" back the Action Description. Tested and all three worked.

Shift_E,

I left this out of my reply.

When using the "Test Phrase" feature, VAC does not immediately respond. Sometimes I have to speak the Action Phrase 3 to 5 times before I get a confirmation from VAC. When I use VAC in the game (IL2-FB+AEP+PF) I get immediate responses. Works great when running with the game...intermittent using "Test Phase". Do you have any experience with this?

Thanks...MM

Hi MM,

Yes, I have had experence with having to repeat myself on a command. Most the time running the microphone wizard will solve the problem.

The routinues for recognition are the same in the builder and the system, so I'm not sure what's going on there. I have found out there are times the speech engine will have a difficult time with a word. It could be "view" and vac hearing "new". Try a different word like "cockpit mode" or "switch to cockpit mode". If it is the word you may want to do another training session.
