FoxVox Free voice control software for BMS
-
@Logic Thanks for the recommendation. What you suggest is implemented already when the global PTT is set, however I’ll look deeper into scenarios where all keys are disabled or prevented by individual PTT to see about making it feel more natural - more along the lines of the global PTT behavior. The logging is more cosmetic than anything and there isn’t really much to gain as far as optimization goes but there are a few improvements I think can be done. Based on your scenario, I highly recommend you set the global PTT (in settings) and individually override any groups that use a different PTT key. You should get the feel you’re looking for that way. Regardless of the logging, the software honors all of the disabled/PTT settings.

Version 1.7.7 is now released. I was able to find and fix a reported bug with PTT button bindings on certain controllers including the Winwing Orion 2 throttle (Hopefully - I don’t own the hardware required to actually test, but I fixed it in theory). If anyone with that controller has any feedback on binding PTT in FoxVox with it, please feel free to share.
More importantly for some, I’ve added the ability to choose between ‘Any’ or ‘All’ bound buttons to activate PTT. This provides a little more flexibility and the option to use multiple buttons as alternates rather than combinations for PTT. It is all or any though, so it isn’t possible to create several multi-button combos…(at least for now). Still, it’s more than was available before

is there someone willing to share his one?Just to speed-up things a bit
Thanks -
@Virus Hi. Check Foxter’s website . There’s at least 2 profiles for you to download which cover all the Comms plus more.
-
this is the one I use, beware it only activates the “comms” functions and some extra stuff to start / resume headtracking. For the full experience make sure to select the entire command set.
Cheers,
Uwe

EDIT: I solved using “blocked inputs” but I don’t understand if PTT is working anyway
-
@Virus Much appreciated. Be sure to check out the tutorial video chapter under PTT and it will show you how to tell. It will also help explain a lot in general about how FoxVox works.
-
@foxster yes…
thanks, I will take the proper time to watch the video and undestand how it works properly -
Hi again Foxter. I have a proposal (if I may) for an enhancment for FoxVox. Would it be possible for you to add some sort of “time limit” setting for the “Toggle” option under PTT settings? Since the “Toggle” mode is the alternative to having to keep pressing a button all the time while you speak you could add an option to have the voice recognition switched on for a couple of seconds or so and would then automatically switch off.
-
@Jaycee sure, that wouldn’t be too hard.

I did use FoxVox with the Warthog. After changing to the WinWing Orion II there was the problem that the UHF button was not recognised correctly after allocation. VHF was fine. Although i have to admit that i did not try to map UHF to another button than the intended one on the throttle.
Now with your latest version i can confirm that the behavior is all like intended, VHF and UHF work perfectly. Thank you very much.

Hi tried FoxVox on a laptop where I don’t have BMS (and i use it for work) and the voice and commands are recognized.
On my simming pc it doesn’t work. The issue probably is related to mic recognition, I understand that it should use the windows default microphone but for some reason it doesn’t detect any voice.
I have multiple mics detected by windows and I selected the VR headset one
I have also voice attack with vaicomm (for DCS world) and it works well there.
Is there something I can do? -
@Virus Try going through the Windows speech training excercise…the microphone set up for it is the same one FoxVox will use. See if you are able to get it to work there.
-
Also make sure to check your input mic level is ok… 50% or thereabouts should usually be ok, maybe a bit more.
Cheers, Uwe

@hoover
Uwe… Pretty please . Can you share profile for FOX ?
I’m fresh and… lazy
Just testing it out for the first time, transfer from VoiceAttack… and of course … configs are incompatible , eg… cant import exported xml … would be nice tho… but too many diff - so kinda best to create new one … but given 100+ commands…Can you , Pleaase
Thank you— edit… DUH! … had 2 profiles on Foxters site… well… SOLVED
-
sure no thing. I’ve noted a small issue though:
I’m loading the 4.37 lib, but the title bar claims 4.36. I don’t know if this is an issue. Please be extra careful, I’ve noted that on my end “U4 -> Report airborne” now results in BMS getting “declaring an emergency” with an internal BMS test version, I don’t know if the menus have changed (again) to cause this.
Cheers, Uwe
Profile / library download:
-
@hoover That is coming from the library name - Just double click on the label and re-name it. It’s display only so no worries, but it allows you to have a “friendly” library name instead of the file.
The latest updates have been admittedly a bit rushed so I’ve caught a few things like you mention. Not lazy, just rushed … I’ve been swamped with work lately.

No worries foxster, take your time & thanks again for providing the BMS community with this great tool!
All the best,
Uwe
