Improving Speech Recognition

For those of you who have struggled with having your speech recognized, this newest update might make the difference. 

In previous versions, the default initial speech wait time was very short (half a second) and if you did not begin speaking in that time, the recognizer engine stopped listening.  This time can be set by you in the configuration window, but if you left the default, you may have had very poor results in your attempts to be recognized.

The default is now 1.5 seconds (30%), so you can press the PTT button and have up to 1.5 seconds to start talking.  If you hesitate longer  than this, just go to the config window Voice Recognition tab and set the Speech Recognition Initial Silence Timeout to something like 50% and experiment.

The default End Silence Timeout is 1.0 seconds.  If you tend to hesitate in your radio call, it could cause the recognizer to stop recognizing before you are done speaking.  If this happens, set the Speech Recognition End Silence Timeout to a higher percent, say 40% (2 seconds).

If you tried the trial before and would like a new go at it, just send me a note ([email protected]) with your hardware ID from the Registration screen and I'll give you another 15 day trial !

Enjoy!
