So. The game hears me. But it doesn't understand everything i say -  I say Latitude and sometimes it hears trans global....

 

Yes this is EXACTLY what I experience. Windows will get me word for word as does every other program except this game which hears garbage

Yes, it does.  That's the odd thing.  And I'm using an extremely high-end mic.  Even just saying the word "Hold" brings up "Change".  

I rarely ever use the command "Change" to move someone to another runway.  I'll vector them back around if I don't like what approach they're on.  To that end, is there a way to completely disable "Change" from being recognized?  I see the config file with the commands in it, but seems like a lot in there I'm not willing to blindly start changing or deleting.

This is the problems I had.  Windows understands me precisely but the game chooses completely different words

So a new development recently and it's driving me absolutely mad.  More often than not when I issue the command, "Hold short..." it recognizes "Change to", so a "Hold short of Runway 22R" for a taxing craft comes up as "Change to Runway 22R", which the pilot chokes on & comes back with "Say Again".  

I'm a very clear speaker (hell, I spent 5 years working in radio, so it's not like I'm slurring, mumbling, or anything).  So there's no reason that 2 commands that don't even sound close to each other are coming up.

Any ideas, y'all?

When you do voice recognition outside the game does it understand the command correctly

As far as I was aware, this was a thread for general Speech Recognition problems with the game.

Although this fix might not help you, I posted it here to help others who may have a similar issue to me, sorry that your issue is still unsolved.

But why would you post a solution to a different problem. This thread is about a very specific problem where windows can understand things completely but the game cannot

 

its not about video drivers or about supported hardware or about the best microphone to use.

we’re looking for help with this very specific documented issue

Okay, I would like to make a post to help others that may have a similar problem to me.

I have the ASUS Zephyrus M GM501GS laptop. I was having issues for the longest time trying to get the speech recognition to work in the game after taking all of the steps that are suggested in this forum. After a lot of playing around with my laptop programs, I realized that the ASUS Sonic Studio was interfering with the game's ability to pick up audio coming from the microphone. If you have a similar ASUS gaming laptop or desktop, you may have the same issues as me. Here are the steps I took to fix my issue, it was very easy:

- Open Task Manager

- Go to the "Startup" tab along the top

- Find the program titled "Sonic Suite 3"

- Click it and press "Disable" on the bottom right

- Restart your device, and voila, the in-game voice recognition should now be working!

Just make sure you remember that you have that program disabled upon startup so you'll have to re-enable it or start it manually if you want to use it in the future.

Hopefully, this can help you, good luck! 😁

But the issue here is completely different

 

the issue being described here is one where MS Windows can understand things perfectly but the game cannot even when the same phrase is used outside and inside the game the game will not be able to comprehend it

CORTANA IS WORKING AND YOU CAN TALK TO IT?

SPEECH IS TRAINED?

MAKE SURE TO USE THE SHIFT BUTTON TO TALK TO TOWER3D?

MAKE SURE THE COMMAND YOU ISSUE USES THE EXACT SYNTAX AS IT IS IN THE MANUAL?

If it still fails:

SOUND DRIVER IS THE LATEST?

MICROPHONE IS WORKING?

if it still fails

USE A USB MICROPHONE?

US VOICE PACK REINSTALLED?

if all fails

ATTACH GAME LOG AND SPEECH LOG (do not post data inline or post will be deleted!)

Because it's worth trying. Maybe it helps and it's no big deal. Of course you don't have to do anything at all, but then you can't get to the bottom of the problem.

I can confirm that, and I just come from a troubleshooting odyssey. Having it activated but not listening works best for me. Seems to keep the speech synthesis triggered. (But that's just a wild guess.)

I've disabled Cortana, so it's obviously not necessary to keep it running. I think that's to be understood as a tool: If Cortana can hear you, it should also be possible for the game! But you have to understand that listening and proper interpreting are different things.

Good point! A delay could absolutely cause problems. You could try holding down the PTT button longer or actually try using a wired microphone. Ambient or transmission noise can also be a problem.

When you play the game, you use the core of the speech synthesis that you train during the game and not a, by many users, highly trained tool like Cortana or other tools with speech recognition. The recommended training in advance creates the foundation for further training in the game. This is technically not entirely accurate, but may help understanding.

So is Cortana on or off because there seems to be some disagreement. Also speech recognition? On off?

My problem is I can say a call sign but for some reason it says a different callsign for example Tom jet 4531 push back approve but it will say virgin or easy 

this is the exact problem I am having and still haven't received a good answer as to what next steps to take

@Someguythere this is right, you need to have your voice recognition turned on, Cortana is not useful here. Please try these suggestions and get back to us with the results. 🙂

Is it a bluetooth Plantronics headset you are using?

I tried with a headset and could not get it to work either because of the delay.

If it is a bluetooth headset, have you tried a hardwired microphone?

Nope wired usb. Also it wouldn’t explain the behavior of the recognition working out of the game interface but not in it

Why would I need to run that.  The computer is listening and hearing and nowhere in the instructions does it indicate you need to turn on speech recognition.  It says Cortana needs to be installed which is a completely separate feature and that is installed and running

 

AGAIN the issue is that the game misinterprets what I say. The narrator and Cortana understand me fine. The game doesn’t. Turning on more features doesn’t seem like it will make things easier to troubleshoot

[SPEECH ISSUES]

I am not using the speech recognition feature as you can see from the videos I posted

Kev,

By right-clicking on the speech recognition icon in the tray or viewing the speech recognition tool itself.

I have found that for best results while playing Tower!3D Pro, that the status should be Off: Do not listen to anything I say.

@Someguythere Listening to your video, you appear to be saying runway twenty six.  Try saying runway two six. ( distinct words spoken clearly)

The speech engine in the game does not like multiple numbers. i.e flight AA1234 will not recognise american twelve thirty four but will recognise american one two three four.

There is a list of what numbers the program recognises but I can't remember where it is.

Maybe someone might be able to help with the list location

Kev M

 

 

granted but the problem is not with me saying the runways, its with me saying everything...  you can see that the voice to text this video is fine when its windows capturing (i accept that it will put too sicks instead of 2 6 as being an expected behavior) in this video here  i feel i am speaking at a reasonable pace and reasonably clearly... i have tried enunciating more as well as slowing down and speeding up....

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sh9emiwqy183apa/IMG_0882.MOV?dl=0
 

my thing is i expect both in game and voice to speech to behave almost identically and they are not and because the game needs to interpret things in a specific manner (magic to max etc) i believe the fault isnt with the voice capture its with the game....

Do you have any voice recognition interface installed other than windows speech? 

Correct nothing else is installed and the computer is set up so only the plantronics headset (microphone) is enabled

As the video shows I am simply switching between the dictation and the game  I guess my next step is to create a new user profile? What are the things that can be affecting this odd behavior?

Please check the following: 

1. Running the program in Admin mode. 

2. Your computer is set to US English. 

3. Your US English language pack is updated. 

As I noted everything is updated. The os the language packs directx etc. even the hardware drivers for everything 

yes the computer is set to English 

and yes as I noted it’s running in admin

I am using an external plantronics headset that has been properly configured etc

the  dictation features in the os and Cortana work with no issues at all but the voice recognition in the game is faulted.   You can see in the video that nothing changes except what is listening (the game vs the OS)

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/js26m1go5mzsbn1/AAAmia4idqOah8bovtg3DlW6a?dl=0

that black bar at the top is the win10 voice to text feature that uses Cortana 

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-speech-recognition-windows-10

While the video only shows one capture comparison I have tested multiple times and the game always makes odd changes to my voice especially with numbers and the native OS capture always captures it precisely

 

everything about this points towards a fault with the game which is why I’m trying to understand how to better troubleshoot this. 

[SPEECH ISSUES]

Can someone please explain the troubleshooting steps for voice issues

 

YES I READ THE FIRST POST YES I KNOW ALL THE STUFF YOU WANT ME TO POST

 

the issue I have is the game doesn’t decode my words properly. So I have the game running and I give a voice command and the game scrambles it  (win 10 all updates all drivers up to date all the steps followed etc). Then without switching out of the game I use the windows10 built in narration feature and it gets everything I say every time 

 

I know the computer can hear me and I know it can understand me. I know it’s not the microphone the only thing that’s changing is the game and the windows 10 narration. When I say the game misses I mean 2 becomes 6 and things like that. I know that windows and Cortana can hear and understand me flawlessly because of the narration so what gives?

 

yes everything is in admin mode etc before I screenshot and logs can someone offer me some guidance with the troubleshooting?

I am having an issue with my speech quitting out after 5-10 minutes of a session. At the start of a session speech works perfectly but after 5-10 minutes it cuts out and all I hear is the sound when you press SHIFT. When I talk nothing happens nothing fills into the command bar. I have reinstalled tower multiple times but the issue has not solved itself. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?

You may have sticky keys enable. Check to make sure this isn’t your issue
