Black Shark and voice to text software


manne

Recommended Posts

I thought about this yesterday night (while trying to sleep :doh:), I think it might be very useful (especially for people without a full HOTAS setup) to use voice commands for the more regular task and combat preparations while in flight? I've been playing with a voice to text program for ArmA 2 to command my AI soldiers, why wouldn't it be useful for BS? I haven't tried it yet, and am currently at work, but are there people here using voice recognition software in Black Shark?

 

I imagine commands like "MASTER ARM", "FOLLOW TARGET", "UNCAGE", "INNER WEAPONS", "OUTER WEAPONS", "LASER", "ROUTE MODE", "GEAR" etc. are perfect commands to use in voice activation :) Only downside is that you will get some delay because the software needs to recognize your command, but this is less than a second. As long as you don't use it for ejection or fire command, I don't see why this would be a problem at all.

You might want to look at VAC: http://www.dwvac.com/ (30 days free, $18 for a license )

 

They also have a profile for Black Shark (and example videos!). Tonight I've tested it with ArmA 2, also with a profile from someone else, but that can be tricky so I customized it a lot. Tomorrow I want to check VAC out for Black Shark, I had very very good experience with ArmA 2 tonight.

 

There is also Pilfius but doesn't work with every game combined with Win 7: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/PiLfIuS-Download-77969.html (it's free so it's worth a try to see if it runs if you have win 7)

I've used shoot 1.6.4 for Silent Hunter till now. A good idea, I'll give it a try at BS, maybe it helps for some commands that aren't used so often.

My first time trying any type of voice was in SOCOM (the first one). I remember late nights cussing at my TV screen because Boomer wouldn't listen to my commands, then trot right along in my line of fire. He deserved to die, but still.

 

It really seems interesting though to try this out with BS. I just need to work out some personal issues since that idiot Boomer kind of left me traumatized.

I currently have developed a small profile to use in Black Shark, in fact I'm going to test it out right now (when the patch is finished downloading). I'll post my results tonight.

 

If the experience I had with ArmA 2 is any indication, I think this will be a huge success :)
