DeeJay's Voice Activaded Commands (VAC) Profiles
-
@Dee-Jay Am aware of Foxvox, currently using it, I used VAC some months ago, before the trial elapsed, it recognizes my voice very well, that’s why am still searching for it. Want to purchase but the site is down. Thank you

I have one activation left, then after, VAC is dead. As far as I know, there is no more support.

@Dee-Jay Alright… Thanks Alot DeeJay.

@Dee-Jay Doesn’t make any difference mate - it won’t be able to activate cos the site and server no longer exist. I’ve just done a PC upgrade and reinstalled everything and all I get when trying activation is a script error.
Such a shame - Ron was supposed to be sorting something out for us customers for when he closed down, but he didn’t.

Recognition is not handled by the programs you describe (VAC or FoxVox), but by the Windows Speech Recognition Engine itself. This is independent from any voice control software including VoiceAttack.

You can still get VA on Steam

@Marcq12 VoiceAttack is not VAC (Voice Activated Commands).
They are different programs.

@SemlerPDX Unfortunately it isn’t quite as simple as that - there are differences. I worked for ages with the Voice Attack devs trying to get it to recognise my commands, but it really struggled. dwVAC was always perfect for me, though - recognised everything I said with no issues.
They all use the SAPI 5 engine, yes, but there has to be other differences, otherwise I’d have never had to give up on VA after having bought several payware add-on packs for it. I’ve used dwVAC since Windows 7 and have about 20 profiles for it that I made for sims and games - all worked just great.

@JDUK I don’t mean to be a contrarian, but it happens to be something I know quite a bit about in Windows and programmatically through .NET - and I feel bad for you that you had a difficult time getting set up to use speech recognition in Windows, but all those steps are outside VoiceAttack itself (setting up hardware devices, speech training, etc.), and equally outside its ability to affect beyond what profile developers such as myself are able to improve through use of homophones and/or wildcards in command phrases.
If you have your Windows Speech Profile trained and recognizing you well, and you already own VoiceAttack (and some profiles you paid somebody for), I’d suggest updating it and giving it a shot to see if it works now. You might be surprised to find out that now that your speech is properly recognized in Windows, commands in VoiceAttack will be equally recognized properly. And again, this is because they all use the same Speech API, as you pointed out. The (singular) developer of VoiceAttack, Gary, has made some very interesting and useful additions to the program over the years. We’ve even been testing a new .NET 7 version in his closed beta branch this Fall, and things are looking up.

Hmm! Never heard of it, I use Voice Attack and it works great
Thanks for the clarification
