Hi, 

Thanks for a wonderful addon!  It's just what I've been looking for, but... I was hoping for a more detailed instruction manual on exactly how to use your frmSpeechTrainer.  Specifically, which button does what and in what order do I need to be going through things?  Am I recording a sound pack of my own voice or am I just practicing saything everything in the format and syntax that Pilot2ATC is expecting to hear?

In Practice mode, when I turn off practice mode, am I then recording my own voice to the use with the ATC?  I think you know where I'm going with this.  Since I'm new to this and don't know anyone else that uses it, I need some examples on what is expected of me and when, and what is the outcome of of everything I'm doing here?  There are some great videos of summaries of it's initial setup and functionality, but when it comes to actually explaining how to use Pilot2ATC v3, the website is a bit lacking.  There are many videos made using version 2, but not very many using version 3 and those made by others seem to be more oriented toward those that already know what they are doing.

I'm using Windows 10, X-Plane 12.1.4 and have the recordings from X-Chatter-ATC (full version) plugged in and all the free voices from Microsoft plugged in and working, as well as my mic and headset.  No problems there.  I guess what I'm looking for is just some help with the things I've mentioned, that are not covered by the existing videos or the manuals, either.   The manual have all the text examples, but don't explain how and when to use them, other than just material to read.
Please explain which button does what and how to use those buttons in the frmSpeechTrainer.  What am I doing and what is the end result of what I'm trying to accomplish?

Thanks so much and I hope this all made sense.

In the Speech Trainer, when you press the Practice button, you are just practicing saying phrases you might use when talking to ATC and seeing of the way you speak is recognizable by the program.  If you aren't understood, you can press the Replay button to hear exactly what the programs hears and see if you might need to make some adjustments to your mic settings or the way you position the mic to be heard loud and clear.

If you press the Train button, you will be taken to a separate screen that has 10 scripts for you to read with the Windows Language Trainer which will train Windows on how you speak.  You select one of the controllers in the Full Training box and press the Train button in that box to start the running of the Windows Trainer.  This usually improves speech recognition significantly.

You don't really ever record your voice for later use.  When you interact with ATC, back in the main program, you are speaking to the AI controller using phrases similar to the ones you practiced with the trainer.  You can use the Copilot's list of phrase options for various flight states and controllers as you get started.  You can let the copilot speak or you can read the suggested phrases.

The program assumes you know enough about flying to be able to know what phrases should be used in various situations.  If you don't then there are many videos of real flights and of P2A v2 flights out there that you should be able to get a feel for when to say what.  There are also numerous How to Fly video series on You Tube to help you get  a sense of the communcations flows. Letting the Copilot Respond to ATC will ease the workload at first until you get the hang of it.
