DeeJay's Voice Activaded Commands (VAC) Profiles
-
Dee Jay,
Clicked the link you posted originally in this thread and got this:
Hope I get home safely tonight?!

@RAM22:
I meant the link to the VAC was not working for a while after you made the post.;)
What’s up with this Disco music.:headb: LOL
RAM22
Ram, that’s not just any Disco music… that’s Ibiza beat club music. I should know… Ibiza is my second home
-
Coco, well, as you say “any Disco” SO, it’s still disco!!! Doesn’t matter if it’s in the Med Sea, Chicago, Morocco, China, Poland(that’s for BANITA,lol), it’s still disco……
Enjoy:rofl:

Anyone knows where microsoft saves the speech training file. I like to save it for future use so I don´t have to sit and read it all over again next time I update my computer.

Ram22,
Funny that… I actually do a pretty good Donald Duck.
h.kan,
Found this on the net…
"1.
When performing training through the Control Panel training UI, the system stores the training files in “{AppData}\Local\Microsoft\Speech\Files\TrainingAudio”. Do the audio training files HAVE to be stored in this location, or can I store them elsewhere as long as the registry entries for the profile reflect the correct path?
1.The Speech Control Panel creates registry entries for the training audio files in the key “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Speech\RecoProfiles\Tokens{ProfileGUID}{00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000000000}\Files”.a) Do the registry entries created by my training code HAVE to be placed in “{00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000000000}\Files” or can I create a new random GUID under {ProfileGUID}?
b) Does the subkey HAVE to be named “Files”?
c) And do the registry values HAVE to follow the form “TrainingAudio-xxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx” or can I use other values?
d) Finally, the Registry Value Data is of the form “%1c%\Microsoft\Speech\Files\TrainingAudio\SP-xxx…xxx”. Can I specify an absolute path?
e) Do the file names HAVE to follow the form “SP-xxx…xxx.wav” or can I use any unique file names? "
Hope it helps

English version for those sans ordinateurs:
Can you repost? Or… Check PM.

If at first you don’t succeed…
Caveat remains that I still haven’t tested this as I still can’t get VAC to work {sigh} even though I paid for the registered version. The author is trying to work out a fix.
Best of luck!

Just want to say that the VAC is working superb.
I use DeeJay´s file and edit it to my keyfile.then I programmed my hotas (foxy file) so I hold in the S3 and just activate uhf or vhf and then talk.
I find for now that I use VAC “arm” for the best control, but migh use the default instrat, where I shall hold in the S3 + the uhf or vhf to talk.And it works soooo great.
Now I got a lot of push switches free in my pitKukki

Ron aka Shift_E (author of VAC) has finally cracked it and I’m up and running with VAC, in fact it’s working better than I had hoped.
I have comprehensively edited the file, removed a lot of duplication around wingman commands and generally made it more to my taste. I use Dunc’s excellent Dunc_DX keyfile so have chosen F8 as my arming key for VAC (as it’s not used for anything else) and have mapped this to my Cougar radio switch (pinky + IFF in/COMMS right). For those with a similar setup you just need to open up Foxy and add the following:
Add this to the bottom of your .tmj (joystick) file:
Rem ### Map F8 to COMMS right (IFF In) for Voice Activated Commands BTN T4 /I VAC /O /H DX22
Add this to the bottom of your .tmm (macro) file:
VAC = F8

Thank you again to Dee-Jay for sharing his template and getting me started on this.

DJ,
I’ve used and loved Shoot for as long as I can remember… However, recently now using Win7 I do encounter problems with shoot from time to time, not making it 100% effective. So I am considering an alternate program.
Can VAC use two different switch functions to trigger the voice commands? What I mean is with shoot I can use two switch commands to open or transmit my voice commands so I can use both VHF and UHF comm swtich movements to simulate what radio I am on.

Don’t have IVC on my Laptop … but IIRC … unfortunately no, only one. (need to be checked!)

@Marvin
With my Cougar HOTAS, I use Shifted VHF to tx VHF as well as PTT VAC. Similarly I use Shifted UHF for tx UHF and same PTT for VAC.This simple approach enables me to tx VAC commands on UHF or VHF as I see fit. In a MP environment it ensures that tx to the tower are audible to any other aircraft or package working around the same base, and conversely flight only VAC comma are limited to my flights VHF frequency.
By placing VAC on the shifted state, aim still able to tx more freely on both channels, unshifted, without having to worry about VAC misinterpreting a conversation for a command.
I am sure a similar approach is doable on other HOTAS capable of shifted states and executing multiple commands simultaneously.
If you have a COUGAR I can send you my profile. It’s based on Wizards and now includes all Korean airbases as well as most “fighter” call signs.

I’ve had to stop using VAC in MP because it made my incoming IVC volume too low. No idea why but when I didn’t have it running I could hear people again just fine. I tried turning the volume in IVC up all the way to 6.0 but it was still too quiet to make out what people were saying. They on the other hand could hear me just fine. I looked in Volume Mixer in Windows to see if there was an application I could adjust the volume for but neither IVC nor VAC had a seperate tab.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did you get round it?

no problem here

Thanks for the quick replies, do either of you have to ‘Run as administrator’?
I’m running a newer unreleased version (2.6.14) of VAC because of all the problems I had getting it to work with UAC in Windows 7 x64, but it requires me to run it as administrator. I wonder if that is making the difference. It’s definitely VAC that causes the problem with IVC because I have no problem with IVC volume when VAC is not running.
Additional question, are you running with UAC (if you’re running Vista/Windows 7) turned off or on?
-
Hey Darkman!
Im running win7 64bit with UAC off.
Just installed VAC, modd. the DeeJay vac file to my own keyfile and vola it works every time.
I have installed my VAC to use F6
and I have the pinky switch on my stick to be held in and then UHF or VHF to ARM the VAC, I do not use the default, its to slow and it dont get the voice command if you release the UHF/VHF switch to fast, so the ARM option is perfect for me.Here is my extra lines in my hotas profile (Foxy):
Dunc helped with this here:
Within your Foxy TMM file, create an entry for your preferred VAC arming key, e.g.ArmVAC = F6
and now use that in your Foxy TMJ file for the actual key programming. As UHF is T2 and VHF is T3 in Foxy, your TMJ lines should look like this:
BTN T2 /I /H ArmVAC
/O /H DX21
BTN T3 /I /H ArmVAC
/O /H DX20Like this, T2/T3 will issue ArmVAC (F6) as long as the shifted (/I) button is held down (/H), and they will issue the original DX button numbers (21/20) as long as the unshifted (/O) button is held down (we need the /O stuff so that this part is seen correctly by BMS).
Kukki
NB. hope you find the problem.

Thanks Kukki, you’ve confirmed what I thought; VAC works fine with UAC off (mine did too but I prefer to run with UAC on) and you don’t need to Run as administrator if UAC is turned off.
My implementation of VAC works fine by the way (as per post #41 above) and I’ll continue to use it when I’m not using IVC, it’s just not viable at the moment when I’m flying online as I need to hear my wingmen.
Update: Good news to report.
Following advice from Boxer, Birddog, Nutty and Red Dog I unticked ‘enable volume control’ in TS3, turned down the internal engine volume (currently it’s on 2) and the external (currently it’s on 1) and after testing in online sessions I’ve got everything working in harmony and can still have VAC on in MP.
Thanks everyone for your help and advice. It’s so much less distracting giving voice commands by voice and not keyboard.

One of the problems that I keep seeing is after I give a command the requires key, say w, and the number 1, I see the HUD view. My conclusion is that the “W” key is not being seen. Is there a way to correct this?
