Voice commands?

[HeroPrinny]

Do they work on PC? Or do we need some other hardware?

[Lonewolf]

short answer, yes they work, dont need any hardware

[HeroPrinny]

Will give them a try as trying to navigate the radio on wheel is annoying.

Works perfect with a headset.

You need to hold the button down that you press to bring the voice menu up, then release the button once you've finished.

Example:

Push and hold LB(Xbox controller)
"Shut up Jeff"
Release LB

I just tap one time and then talk, you have 4 secs after press lb

If the game is in French but the engineer voice is set to English, what language is the game expecting when I speak to the engineer ?

[WemasteeeR]

Do I need an XBOX controller or can I talk about my headset with my engineer ? I play with the Logitech G27 and a normal headset

[WemasteeeR]

But somehow does not answer my engineer . Sometimes he also says just the race that he did not understand me even though I did not say anything

If you're not running a US version of Windows, you need to install / switch to the en-us language pack (always available for all versions). Since the game uses Windows Speech, and Windows speech is still very much under development (mostly on the language pack side of things), it is still only available in that language (as far as I know).

For example, I have a Dutch Windows 8.1, but I had to install the EN-US language pack and speech files (from Settings menu, not that hard ;-) ) in order for speech to work at all.

For developers, it's really easy to use the system, and I find it surprising that there isn't some option of changing the list of phrases in-game (or see this in a lot more games). For instance, I'd like to ask "How's the car doing" instead of "Vehicle Condition". Seems more 'natural' to me...

But if the engineer tells you he doesn't understand you, he gets the input (mic) but doesn't recognize the command. Either move your microfone close to your mouth or run the speech calibration from control panel (if you're running under Windows).
