BVC little issue

(1/3) > >>

lccano:
I am trying to control some things with BVC but I have one issue.
I have tried it on Windows 7 and 10, both 64bits, with the built-in speech engine and same issue.
When configure a listener with ActiveHomePro, works ok, recognice a X10 command and plays a sound ok.
But my issue is with voice recognition.
I have changed the "Attention phrase" from "Computer" to "Ordenador" (in Spanish) but when I say "Ordenador" the program writes "Ordenador" in the box "Last Recognized Phrase" but not plays the sound neither wait for a command.

I have been reading all this forum and the BVC forum but not found a solution.

Does you know what could be happend?
Thanks in advance.

Hummmm. I know Bill never did update BVC to operate with new versions of Windows. I know even Visa was more Cortana (?) active (as an OS)... which was problematic for BVC. BVC is a Sapi5 based voice control. I think (think!) Windows 7 &10 are Sapi6 (or some sort of thing). That might effect settings. But I honestly don't know.

Tuicemen (forum member here) has a 3rd party software that also does voice commands. And... if I remember correctly he overcame the problems of newer versions of windows.

I've been meaning to call Bill anyway. This question gives me a great excuse!

lccano:
Thanks for your response HA Dave.

If you can talk with Bill let us know and share his opinion please!

It is a pity that his software runs well on Windows 10 but only the recognition part have this little issue!

If Bill tells you how more or less, i can help looking for a solution.

Thanks again.

HA Dave:
I am speaking to Bill as I type. We/he haven't tried BVC on either 7 or 10. So that could be your problem right there. But another reason could also be if your running a trial version. You may just need to restart.

Other concerns.... are you running life jacket... or the actual X10 software. (BVC was never tested with life jacket).

I also emailed a link to your question/concern to Bill. And he's going to try to find time to read your post and reply directly.

Tuicemen:
Lifejacket wouldn't be a factor as it is a one time run application and only used to register AHP.
Windows 7 & up utilize the VR engine BVC uses. This usually causes confusion with some recognition and usually with common windows commands.
I suspect this is the issue but could also be what Dave/Bill suggested or a combination.

I updated PCC to use VR starting at 4.0.0.0 which doesn't use the same engine and will turn off the windows recognition (if told) to stop conflicts.
You may wish to test run it to see if the same issue is present, and if so just change your recognition phrase for BVC.
