Astra doesn't recognize words: "Yes" "No"

[CMDR SinAlarma]

Hello, Astra doesn't recognize some words for example "yes" "no" When she asks me if she can say something I say "yes" but she doesn't answer, she also doesn't recognize landing gear down/up. I have the keys set as in your tutorial video - everything is on "custom" Open panels works, open maps works.
I don't know what to do, please help.

best regards!

ps Im from Poland and use Win 10 PL

From the voice trigger editor:

[okay;yes] Go ahead [please;];
[yes;] I’m listening;
You have my attention;
You may speak freely;
[of course;] Continue

Are the valid combinations.

This is partly down to how we have structured the commands (and additionally a limitation of the voice profile).

We use "yes / No" as other commands / voice triggers to confirm or deny actions, but these were BEFORE we had the "interaction mode" implemented (and this is as a unique action already). So saying "Yes" at any point in time will press the button that is assigned to "confirm / select" in game, similar to "no" doing the same for the cancel action.

Now, voice attack requires *ALL* commands to be unique in terms of the contents (and variations) of the "When I say" box.. And additionally, because of how we have set up the profile, each "unique voice trigger" in the voice trigger editor is actually its own command.

Basically: If you created a command that was "[yes;] I’m listening;yes"

You *couldn't* create a command that used "Yes" by itself as a spoken trigger (even if the string was like "[yes;] I’m listening; yes; yes you can continue"

Now, we *could* use another feature in the profile (to listen for dictation and parse that), but the downside to this, is that we would have to load the "Can I continue with interaction speech" command with the variations that we need.

This is then hard coded into the profile. So, if we had set it up as "Yes / No / Chicken dinner" and you wanted "Yes / No / Roast Pork", you as the user *couldn't* change this (not unless we unlocked the specific command so that it was user side editable).

This is far less flexible, also means that we either do a unique profile per language (which we already moved from) or we make a command that is *SO* monolithic (because it has to take into account English / French / German *AS WELL AS* any other language that someone may have made a voice trigger for (we only do english / french / german, but I am sure that people have made their own variations for their language) that it is basically pointless.


In relation to the "landing gear up / down"

[deploy;lower] [landing gear;docking modules;landing modules]; [docking;landing] [gear;modules] down; lower gear
[retract;raise] [landing gear;docking modules;landing modules]; [docking;landing] [gear;modules] up; raise gear

are the variations, so Landing Gear Up / Down are perfectly valid combinations... although it should be noted, IF the profile thinks if you are in an incorrect "state" (ie in supercruise) when you give the command, then it should give an error message in the VA log window when this happens.


I notice that you are from Poland, so I would suggest training up more and/or use the English speech engine, because whilst you *CAN* use X language speech recognition with a set of *different* language speech triggers, the recognition for them is more hit and miss (Ie, yes, in theory you can use the english speech recognition engine with a set of french voice triggers, but it will not be as accurate as using the french recognition engine with french triggers.

sorry but what is "voice trigger editor"

[Gangrel]

The voice trigger editor is a function of our plugin (HCS Customiser -> To access the customiser, you can say "Protocol override customise my settings" or press LeftAlt+LeftShift+LeftCtrl+Enter) that we created to allow people to adjust / tweak their spoken voice triggers without needing to edit the profile directly

when Astra say: "may i speak freelly?" i say: yes, ofcourse, continue still try everything - no answear ;(

landing gear still not working..

i dont known what to do..

i'll give up...

but "shut up" she understand

[Gangrel]

The only thing that I can suggest is that you either go through more speech training, or you can use the add specific pronounciations to the Windows Speech Dictionary:- Voice Attack settings (click the wrench icon in the bottom right of the VA window) -> Recognition Tab -> Utilities Button -> Add word to speech dictionary.

I just tried those commands, and they are least recognised *for me* on my PC (using the current profile with default voice trigger profile), so... *shrugs* I am at a loss otherwise (especially as other commands are working just fine)
