[Tool] Speech Recognition Tool

[jaelove]

the tool won't run for me and I have net framework installed

[Leftos]

Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4 then. Download it from the link in the first post, and click on Repair when it asks you.

[jaelove]

I did and it still doesn't work is the tool for 32 bit and 64 bit systems because I have a 64 bit system

[Leftos]

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit as well. Any specific error you're getting? Or just "stopped responding"?

I'll implement some error reporting features tomorrow like the ones all my other tools have, maybe that'll help.

[jaelove]

it just says NBA 2K speech recognition tool has stopped working

[Leftos]

Okay. Give me a few hours to sleep (it's 4AM here right now), and I'll be back with a version that has proper error reporting. We'll find the bug and squash it.

[jaelove]

looking forward to it this tool looks so amazing

[ramuajith]

[Darth_Jor-El]

when i see Leftos name on the work i know it will be 100%.. bow down.

Hi Leftos, can you explain better where to put these files and if we have to do something to get this working (run the speech.exe for example) ? I read about "start listening", but when I say it nothing happens, and if I call a play or an iso o everything else nothing happens. Then another question: to make this work, do we only have to play with keyboard? Thanks!

bro this is unbelievable
just planning to buy 360 next week for 2k13 but change my mind after knowing this... thanks for this man
i just saved 15K hahahaha

[seanjohn2525]

by the way bro, can this tool run in 2k13??

[Leftos]

First of all, thanks for your nice comments everyone.

Now, to run this properly, you just need to extract anywhere, run the EXE, and read the Readme (duh). The Readme has the first-time setup that you should do in-game (you need to remap the keyboard controls; make sure to save the user profile assigned to the keyboard after you change the controls so that they don't reset every time you quit the game) and all the commands you can say.

To test the program out, say anything and see if it reports "Speech Detected". Try a command from the list in the Readme, and see if it recognizes it. If you say "Computer?", it should respond. In the game, after you set-up the keyboard controls, you can play with whatever controller you want, just make sure the keyboard is either not assigned to any team, or that it is assigned to your team if you're playing with the keyboard.

As for a tip, since the tool will need to take over control for the few moments that your command is being executed, make sure not to be using the controller when you're calling out a voice command, or to stop using it just as you finish speaking the command. When you practice the timing, you'll see that the tool can be really responsive, without taking control from you for too long.

So, if you say "Get Open", just as you finish the word "Open" stop doing anything on your controller, and once your teammate starts his movement and the command has been executed (or the Playcalling Message has been shown; I HIGHLY recommend you enable those for "User Plays Only" in the Coaching Settings), you can start using your controller to do whatever with your player. You can see the timing (and I still don't have it down perfectly) in the preview video. The circle becomes green when the tool takes over, and blue again when I do something with the controller to get back the control. Do NOT expect to be given the control back automatically (i.e. don't expect the circle to turn blue by itself); once your command starts playing out, use your controller to regain control yourself.

P.S. And yes, considering that I don't think the button combinations have changed much in 2K13, this tool should be compatible with it Day 1.

[jaelove]

I don't know why it's not working for me

[Leftos]

jaelove, relax. I'm working on a BIG new version that will allow you to add custom commands and button combos, and it will include error reporting, which will help you help me find out what's going wrong for you so that we can fix it. If everything goes well, it should be up in a few hours.

[jaelove]

lol I am relaxed

[Leftos]

v0.2 released!
- Users can now add and edit commands.
- Tool will now report errors.

[jaelove]

this is the error I get

hopefully you can make it in 2K13!

[Leftos]

jaelove, seems like the tool can't access your microphone. Check your Sound options in Control Panel, and see if the default recording device is properly set to your microphone.

Rangez, as I've said, unless 2K13 has changed its control scheme for playcalling, tool is already compatible with it. You'll be able to use it as soon as you get the game.

will you post it in the 2K13 thread if it works?

[Leftos]

Rangez, I will, as soon as Andrew sets up the Releases subforum. I won't be able to test it myself, since the DD version is pushed back to 10/16, so I'll have the game 10/5 which is the international retail release, but I'm hoping you guys can do the testing for me until then.
