Voice recognition fails

[Atermi]

Seems like a decent game, but I can't enjoy it to full extent as I had to switch to keyboard commands.
Voice recognition just doesn't work. It declines 50% of my words. When I want to cheer my pal and say "Sure", it recognises it as "Lol u tarded douche". I played with tresholds and noise filter, but no success...
Is it just due to fascist system that only allows original English speakers to play, or the trouble is with my mic and sound settings? I have a decent spoken English, but maybe it requires a manchester accent or smth like this lol...

I couldn't get it to work either. I had a turtle beach headset with mic and it wouldn't recodnize more than 40%. I defaults to use the tab commands and its not the same.

LOL oh I got it to work, but I spent a good amount of time tweaking settings, and watching how I spoke. Clearly speaking the words, ext

I'm Scottish and use a generic Microsoft headset, and the voice recognition works fine for the most part. Recreate those parameters and you might have better luck with it.

It was pretty funny for a while that the game thought I was calling everyone an idiot. So I turned the voice recognition off and enjoyed the game just the same without it (loved it actually)

For anyone driving themselves crazy trying to get the speech recognition to work, it's the software that sucks. I say this as a frequent Dragon NaturallySpeaking user (v9-v12). I have a high quality headset and external USB soundcard from KnowBrainer.com, and I will get 98%+ accuracy without training my voice. I've literally written an entire book with 98%+ accuracy, and I only average 24-50% accuracy in Binary Domain.

Some might have luck, but my advice is turn it off and play that way. It's not worth the headache. Also, Just for reference I live in mid-west U.S. We are known as the land of no accent. We all have newscaster accents. With my plain vanilla non-accent not working, don't blame where you're from. Blame the developer.

Well yeah it's a given the SW sucks, but doesn't hurt to try and make the best of it

[goblinfx]

If you have the patience, more power to you. I tip my hat.

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

LOL I think it's more stubborn will

Everyone knows that the voice input in this game was a big problem, every review Ive seen talks about how bad it is. If you just turn it off and use tab the game is a better play that way.

Thanks for replying at the topic's anniversary, now let's have a birthday party.

Based on what the original poster said. Through trial and error, I can now use all conversation options with the keyboard.

I've been able to use all the options in a conversation except one. Every conversation that has more than 2 options has one listed as U. Of course I tried u, up arrow, page up and well, my entire keyboard actually. None worked. U is actually the middle mouse button. Go figure. Considering how many of their choices for keyboard configuration are non-senical to me, I guess in a weird way it makes sense.

Guess I'm a little late to the party, but found my way here via Googling the speech recognition snafu. Like goblinfx I'm from the US midwest (i.e. "land of no accent") and the speech recognition is terrible. I've tried three separate microphones, and what I've deduced is that the sound of me pressing keys on the keyboard is being picked up by the microphone and interpreted as commands. So I raised the noise threshold, and found myself having to speak very loudly. Which aggravated my cat, got her meowing, which the game also tried to interpret. I kept expecting Bo to be like "Fine fine I'll scoop your litterbox when I'm done with this here robot." Oh well.

I'm going to try what others have suggested, and disabling the voice recognition altogether. Maybe then I won't accidentally order someone to charge into the open when there's like 10 robots milling about.

It does seem to suck, but I'm also sick and it's picking up my coughing, but when you hold tab, those are actually just suggestions. When it says Definitely, You can just say yes or yeah, as far as I know. Also, I have trouble with charge, so I use Blitz instead. I suggest answering without even checking your options, and if something doesn't work, try another word that means the same thing.

It looks like the game was made by SEGA's "Yakuza Team", so it's quite possible that the voice recognition routines they used do a better job at detecting Japanese voice input, and that English may not have been as thoroughly tested. The PC port appears to have been done by a UK company, but they probably just worked with the same voice recognition system made for the consoles by the Japanese developers.

Valid point on the testing side. That or they bought a cheap library
