What problems are you having?

Everything in my CF setup is working fine, including audio gateway, the only thing I have a problem with is Voice Control.

I teached the setup to my voice, about 97% + accuracy, but still I can't switch menu's etc.....this the same with you?

Be more specific as to what your "way to many" problems are.

They may be Pebkac-related errors

edit: Anyway, my Voice Control working now. All good

like switching menus, i have never been able to do a voice command nothing is quite working. LIke whenever i say a command, nothing happens.

So, like you gotta use the "System Keyword" before you use any commands.

The default "System Keyword" = "Computer", I changed mine to "go"

If you don't say that before the instruction, it won't work

As an example, to navigate to my GPS screen, which I changed to "GPS", I simply say "Go GPS"

Walla - it switches.

Take your time in training the speech recognition s/ware, it is worth it at the end.

Let me know if this works for you.

where do you config all of this?

**mrbean_phillip** · 07-27-2007, 10:16 PM

Hello,
Under "Settings", scroll down to "Voice", there sections where you can train the system to your voice, and where to set mic volume, last dialog-button deals with commands

Let me know if you get it working.

i am not finding this commands box??

**ambush276** · 07-31-2007, 12:58 AM

im using the microsoft english 5.1 i have SAPI devlepoment but i cannot click settings because it says development engine has no dialog boxes or something like that. Do i need a diferent SAPI or do i use that Microsoft thingy that might be my problem right there... Also what mic do you guys use in your car, im just using reg mic right now but what mic do you suggest for a car, wireless, wired ....??

I use an USB Mic, thePlantronics 300 USB setup, which works really well with my MacMini and Centrafuse.

It seems your issues with the Frontend maybe re;lated to evelopement Engine? Maybe post this in the CF section, where Dave can assist better.

As mentioned, you have to configure it for Voice to work....

What you can try though, the keyword should default to "Computer"

So, you could say "Computer..Load Main" or "Computer..Load Phone" or "Computer..Load Mixer"

These are a few of the default commands, which should take you to the respective screens.

Remember to slightly slow your speech, and try and control the amplitude of your speech on one modulation. Do not vary the tone to much, and it should work.

One more thing, there is a ctrl-something shortcut to enable/disable voice.....I think by default it is disabled - the CF manual should help you out here.

Keep us posted.
