For those who need support, please give your OS version, DirectX version, and the keyspeech.log file content if any.
Also, it could be good if you create another KeySpeech shortcut with -d as command line parameter. Right click on this shortcut, then click on Properties menu item. Then add -d (space + minus + d) at the end of the path into Target box as show in the image below :
Restart KeySpeech.

If you get this error :
HRESULT: [0x8007001E], Module: [SharpDX.DirectInput], ApiCode: [DIERR_INPUTLOST/InputLost], Message: The system cannot read from the specified device.
There are possibly a faulty device or other running software that accesses your joystick/yoke. The next step is to unplug all joysticks (could be a keyboard), then one by one, plug back in if/until the issue arises. If any, check the device’s driver.

Thats the error message I get. The conflict seems to be coming from the SST software but that is required for some joystick profiling. Any other saitek users having similar problems?
Cheers!

I play VAC offline and online. I have UHF and VHF PTT buttons and I also have a VAC PTT button (shifted UHF). When talking to my mates, I just use the normal PTT. When I know I’m about to issue a command (AWACS, Tower, Wingman, etc.), I first press the VAC PTT so that VAC starts listening, then use the normal PTT to broadcast my command. That way, the command is both issued over comms and to VAC as well. BTW, my VAC PTT is a toggle so that allows me to speak over normal UHF/VHF while VAC is listening. So how does Keyspeech offer me anything new or better? @jcenzano:
I assume that you use it to VAC play offline. I encountered a lot of problems to use VAC online, because VAC is desperately trying to “recognize” phrases. That is not a problem when playing offline, becuase you do not talk to anybody else other than the AI, and all the radio calls should fall into one of the vac profile phrases. BIG BIG problem is when you try to use VAC online to play with your sqn mates and it produces a lot of false positives. By false positive i mean, for example, when you say to your sqn buddy over the radio “I am going to grab a beer” and VAC understands “tower request taxi” and types “t5” for you. It is an idotic example, but just to give a rough idea. Kespeech instead, can be used online with almost no false positives, even when it is listening to the normal sqn chat over the radio because you can adjust how “picky” the voice recognition is. My config is as follows: UHF and VHF switches on my cougar are mapped to UHF/VHF transmit for IVC but at the same time both are mapped as keyspeech PTTs. That means that whenever I tell to my human wingman over IVC “U are a useless piece of shit!!!”(and that happens almost on every flight LOL), keyspeech is listening, but since my accuracy setting is set to a high 92%, keyspeech is not likely to understand it as a command. On the other hand, when I say over IVC “Chalis, Falcon 11 request picture”, all my sqn mates will listen to that over IVC and so will keyspeech. So keyspeech will recognize the call as a “AI” command and will type Q1 for me. Bottomline, all players on AWACS freq will listen to my call, as if it was a real picture call, and then they will listen AWCAS reply, and I do all that just with my voice and the comms switch. Besides, and no offense to the VAC profile creators, I think my KEYSPEECH profiles are more detailed, have more phrases and combinations based on my real life experience and can offer a bigger sense of inmersion, specially if it is taken into consideration the fact that I created profiles for all F-16 callsigns and that you can include your callsign in the radio call, just like it should be done RL. just give it a try, it has a trial period and my profiles are for free… LOL

I also have VAC (not using it at the moment as I need to get a better mic as it never understands me properly, despite doing several rounds of training) and like it a lot, the export to text file options are especially useful. Nonetheless I do think it could benefit from an accuracy slider, which all the competitors seem to have. I haven’t looked at Key Speech but Voice Attack seems to have some nice ways of creating conditional commands which would be useful in VAC.
What I’d really like to see is a program that can send commands on a UDP interface, to trigger commands in sims that can accept commands like /radio/tower/request landing. Then the program could come with all these commands included for us to map to voice commands (with defaults even, that we can change) and there’d be no more having to setup keyboard sequences like 1 - 5 - 3 (made up) to drill through menus to request landing.
I think X-plane is the only sim that listens for commands on UDP like this at present but it’s a chicken and egg thing, why should sim devs introduce the feature if there’s no voice recognition programs that can use it. Hopefully once someone starts the ball rolling, it will be easier to persuade devs to accommodate this superior method in their sims/games.

I may be mistaken, but doesn’t the X-52 not have DX Command capabilities? Isn’t it only programmable via the SST Software using macros? Not sure about the X-55.

X-55 does have DX Command capabilities.

You lost me there. In VAC, you can say “Tower, request landing” and VAC can issue the appropriate key sequence… which I don’t really know as I can’t remember the last time I asked tower for landing permission! However, I use VAC all the time when refuelling and it’s very nice to be able to “talk” to the tanker so I can issue the command without breaking padlock on tanker.
So what exactly are you saying?

Sure but first you (or someone else) has to work out the required key sequence for each sim/game you use and then map voice commands to trigger those key sequences. It would be much easier, quicker and probably less prone to error if it was able to send a single direct command via UDP instead of key sequences.

hey there keyspeech…still no joy. works ok when no profile loaded on sst but stops working as soon as i load a profile…using your latest beta, sst driver 7.0.27.13, sst software 7.0.2.7, directx 11 on a win7-64 bit machine.
cheers!

I’ve been reading this thread with interest, but it seems to have fizzled out.
So, what is the consensus about stability with Saitek(I have a x-65)? Is VAC stable?
As I understand this, these programs translates your spoken command into keystrokes in BMS. Ok so far. Also as I read here, everytime your callsign changes, you have to reenter in the program, but apparently that is a 3 stroke process(at least in Keystroke). I would also assume that every time the AWACS call sign changes you have to do the same. This assumes you want to do it right, ie: with callsigns.?
Finally, you set up a push to talk button, like UHF transmit, for example. -
With VAC you can set up multiple voice commands that send the same keystrokes
e.g. “AWACS request picture”, “Sentry request picture”, “Chalis request picture”, “request picture” would all return the desired information. -

Hello, Snake122 confirms that it is resolved with Saitek x-65.

I am pretty sure the same can be done with Keyspeech. I have tried VAC and it works as long as I use the keyboard button to activate. The problem that I have is that my Cougar throttle is used with TUSBA and my uhf/vhf buttons are directx. VAC does not recognize Directx buttons. Keyspeech recognizes Directx buttons, but I cannot get it to work in game yet even with keyboard buttons. Right now I can’t even get it to respond or even type anything using notepad. I have tried shoot, but cannot get it to work at all either.

Working to the next great feature: synonyms. Stay in touch …
-
That’s great news!!
-
Keyspeech, any news? I am looking forward to trying your program and would love to have the synonym feature, that is brilliant. I am currently using VAC and want to switch to a program that recognizes DX. In this day and age, not having this function is absurd…

agreed,
i tried a few weeks ago but couldn’t make it work, so i lost interest.
