Topic: Speech recognition error

I lately bought CoPilot for ZIBO 737(my Version 3.47). I followed the manual, set up my Windows speech recognition, changed Windows system (WIN10) language to English and installed "Linda" in the plugin folder of the Zibo Boeing. Before I start the sim I start the Windows speech recognition.

Being in the cockpit, immediately when I push the assigned joystick button to give a command via the microphone a voice tells me: "Error. I can't recognize you. Check your speech recognition settings".

Re-checking the settings, I can't find the error.

If I work with no voice just using the widget so far all is perfect. Procedures and checklists are working.

May be someone knows what goes wrong?

Re: Speech recognition error

I had the same problem at first. I seemed to do everything 'correctly' and still couldn't get it to work properly at first.
Go into settings/Time and Language/Speech and check all is correct there. Then go into Settings/Ease of Access/Speech and check that all settings there are correct. Then, in the search bar (in the taskbar at the bottom of your computer screen) type 'Control Panel', select that, and change view by to 'Large Icons'. Select the 'Sound' Icon and then make sure your microphone is set up correctly in the 'recording' tab. Click on the 'Microphone' Icon and check the levels, etc.

The joystick button you are using must be set to 'CommandRec' in X Plane joystick settings.

When all is working correctly for me - I see the Windows 10 dictation widget on my screen. I hold down the joystick button, speak the command and watch for my speech to be turned into text on the widget screen - then I release the button. The copilot then responds (hopefully appropriately!).

Re: Speech recognition error

I absolutely love the idea of the copilot. I have it for all the aircraft that it is now available for. I was just wondering and hoping that there would be further copilots for other aircraft in the future. I hope you have plains for future aircraft.
