Spirit box and voice regonition (last patch)

[BloodyValentine]

Since the latest patch, the voice recognition with the spirit box doesn't work anymore. Voice chat works perfectly fine, but the spirit box X or ghost icon don't react to voice at all.

Anyone knows a workaround?

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Adding options like this incorporates everyone and will likely get my team to come back to playing Phasmo again. The inability to get spirit box responses and ouiji board responses were huge turn-offs.

If the new system does not currently work please let me know what your country and language is and what voice recognition language you are trying to use.

USA, English. Two of my friends are from UK with northern accents, with the other 3 also being from the US as native english speakers. The 3 others and myself do not have any kind of heavy accent and speak clearly. We're lucky to get the Spirit Box function 1 out of 4 or 5 questions asked. Sometimes it will work once and never again. Ouiji Board we can't get it response to anything else other than "Where are you" and "goodbye". Even then it varies wildly when it decides to accept what we say.

For the record, Bernard Köhl on the wine-devel mailing list is working on the implementation of windows.media.speech on wine using the open-source voice recognition library VOSK as backend, and it's in an advanced state already. Wine is the base of proton that's used to run Phasmophobia on the Steam Deck/Linux, so even the old voice recognition system should be working soon.

First of all, Thanks for looking into this matter and finding a possible solution.

Me and many others i know can't wait to get the old voice system back because of the voice recognition issues with the new voice system.
Is it perhaps coming back as a selective option on the next update patch?

Exactly the same issue here, using English language as well. Neither Vosk nor Windows changed anything about it. The game recognises the microphone (the bar in the options menu lights up and other players can hear me), but the spirit box doesn't react whatsoever.

At this point is has been months since this game last had functioning voice recognition for me.

TL;DR: open-source speech recognition framework, toolkit and libraries.

SOLVED :) I installed the latest version of build ( 21H2 ) Windows 10 and spirit box and Ouija works.
