I can't get VA to recognize me saying "SSSD"

[RallyPointAlpha]

I read some documentation, and other peoples post but still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. 

In the game Helldivers 2, you have to input a series of keystrokes to call in an "SSSD".  I created a Command for it with keyword(s): [SSSD; SSSD Delivery].

I keep speaking, very clearly, S S S D and here's what it VA recognizes:
4:31:48.785 Unrecognized : 'test pass pass these of'
4:31:42.095 Unrecognized : 'pass pass the'
4:31:30.777 Unrecognized : 'pass pass pass the'
4:31:25.831 Unrecognized : 'SS Estes'

Ideas?  Please advise, thanks!

That does seem to work on my machine with the US English SAPI engine, with reasonably high confidence (around 80).


What you can try is to add a custom pronunciation to the speech 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"


Though note that in general that is not a substitute for a well-trained speech recognition profile. At least three training sessions is the bare minimum.

I've only done one speech recognition training, so that could be a major culprit. 

Thank you for your help!
