Pronounce Barundus... HELP
« on: January 25, 2025, 07:39:09 AM »
I have DCS OH-58D Kiowa and Voice Attack for OH-58D in profile.  Can't get AI to work I have AI helper invoked and other commands are working.  Need Barundus to recognize could someone send me a voice file pronouncing this??  I have tried every variation of this I can think of.   Thanks!

For names like that, you're going to want to add a custom pronunciation to the speech recognition dictionary.

Click the wrench icon on VoiceAttack's main window, and on the "Recognition" tab of the VoiceAttack options window click the "Utilities >" button, then choose "Add/Remove Dictionary Words"

Before your reply I changed my profile names, all of them, to George.  Now it recognizes the command and shows green but the command is not followed.

Are you using a profile you've created yourself, or one created by someone else that you've imported?

I didn't create really anything, just changed all the places Barundus appeared in the command pane window to George.  I might have missed one or two.  I couldn't pronounce Barundus to get any commands to work so I wrote this forum.  Any help I would appreciate!  I like the VoiceAttack concept just having a little trouble getting it going.

As you mention commands are recognized, you'd want to contact the author of the profile you're using, so they can check why it's not affecting the game.

One thing you can try beforehand is running VoiceAttack as administrator by enabling the "Run VoiceAttack as an Administrator" option on the "System / Advanced" tab of the VoiceAttack options window.
However, under normal circumstances this should not be necessary. If that solves the issue, you're running DCS as administrator, which as far as I'm aware it shouldn't.

Also, depending on how the commands within that profile are configured, especially if a single command is used for multiple locations, changing the name of a location would break the command.
Do other locations work correctly?

Other commands as in views: F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F7, f10 all working fine.  Just the ones with AI I have tested and failed on.  Just fairly new to OH-52d so, I haven't gotten to deep with it.  Have Thrustmaster Warthog joystick and throttle, pedals, IR5 as to my peripherals.  DCS I have 8 modules 5 terrains and been flying since 1988.  First time for VoiceAttack.  Any idea as to who to contact to have my commands looked at?

The person to contact would the one that created the profile you've downloaded.
