Please help me get VA/HCS working

[Troz]

Hello. I would very much like to be able to use HCS with Elite Dangerous and VR, but it has proved impossible so far. I have a HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless headset. I have VA installed and have done the speech recognition training about 20 times. I have Ad-Astra and several other packs installed.

Previous cries for help on the Discord channel have given me advice to change "Command Weight" and "Min Unrecognized Confidence Level", which I have tried.

The following is a partial log of a session where I tried to say "Number One" (pause for recognition) "Organise a crew". Obviously you have to start reading from the bottom. Any help appreciated.

I can try and help as best I can. I've been using this software for years but am in no way an expert. To start though, I do have some questions for you. Is this the only command you're having trouble with or are all of the commands giving you issues? Do you have an accent when speaking? This can cause issues but can be worked around. Do you have a lot of ambient noise that could be interfering with what voice attack is hearing? Have you tried a different mic? How did the Windows Speech Recognition go? Did it recognize everything you said or did you constantly have to repeat yourself?

There have been some voice commands that I say that aren't recognized properly by voice attack. I tend to just avoid those commands and say an alternative. If an alternative doesn't exist, I'll create my own in the "voice trigger editor". An example of this would be one of the voice commands for the camera suite. I think the original command was "External Camera". I don't know why but voice attack misinterprets that when I speak it. I changed the command to say "outside" instead of " external" and now it works every time. 99% of the commands are recognized when I say them though.

If it's just the organize a crew command that is giving you issues, have you tried assigning them manually? It's pretty easy to do and is my preferred way of doing this.

I do hope you can get this figured out though as using the voice packs, especially in VR, is extremely helpful and just brings the game to a whole other level. As I stated earlier, I'll try and help you the best that I can but no guarantees.
