Recognition Suffix Exlusions?
« on: January 06, 2017, 04:59:20 PM »
I've noticed that a lot of my "Unrecognized" commands failed because of a suffix that was added by the speech recognition. How hard would it be it implement a "Recognition Suffix Exclusions" section, similar to what we already have for prefix exclusions?
Thanks!

That's certainly possible and not a bad idea. I haven't had a need for that myself, but I can see where it could pose a problem.

Is this still on the list as a possible future feature? Thanks!

It is, but unfortunately there are several higher-priority issues that are being worked on.  Something you may want to look at in the meantime are wildcards.  Let's say you have a command where the spoken phrase is, 'fire weapons'.  Let's say that when you say, 'fire weapons', VoiceAttack is picking up, 'fire weapons but' or 'fire weapons if' (due to a hot mic or sticky lips or whatever ;)).  You can use a wildcard to help with that:

Change your command phrase to, 'fire wepons*'.  This will tell VoiceAttack to accept any spoken phrase that STARTS WITH 'fire weapons', including if you just say, 'fire weapons'.

Seems like a lot of work, but it's a workaround for now.  Could it be that your mic is just too hot?

Possible, though I try to keep the level at less than 50% of max typically. I'll play with mic levels some more to see if that helps.

Hey, just wanted to say this is still something I'd love to see and that I'd still find useful. Thanks!
