Before using the voice recognition abilities of Tower! Simulator 3., you must 'train' your computer to recognize your voice. IMPORTANT:
- Tower! Simulator 3. only recognizes typed or spoken English, the international language of air traffic control.
- Tower! Simulator 3. only recognizes voice commands when Speech is set to English US. If you have set up Speech under English UK you must retrain your computer. For those that have already trained their computer for 'English UK' create a new Speech 'User profile' so your UK settings are not lost.
- The LEFT SHIFT must be pushed and held when speaking commands. When you have completed a command, release the button.
- The use of Speech is not required. You can play with mouse commands as most commands are available as buttons on the control panel.
- A high quality microphone improves Speech's ability to interpret your voice.
- Keeping background noises to a minimum improves Speech's ability to interpret your voice.
Because of differences between an individual's speech or pronunciation, and limitations with Microsoft's Speech API, FeelThere doesn’t guarantee that voice recognition will work flawlessly for all users.
For Tower to 'listen' to your voice commands the LEFT SHIFT must be pressed and held using the left-mouse-button. Commands must be stated as outlined in the Commands section of this manual. The commands listed are the only word sequencing that the simulator will recognize.
More details on how to configure and train the Speech API are available from Microsoft.
