Speech Recognition in UT2004 Demo

Published by

Just spotted this bit of Info over at BeyondUnreal

Speech Recognition is a feature that allows you to communicate with your bots, and give them orders using your voice (and a mic, of course). However, this feature is not functional by default in the demo version of UT2004. Here's a run-down of what you'll need to do to get it working in the UT2004 demo.

First, install the Microsoft Speech SDK. It can be found over on this page. Download the 68MB 'Speech SDK 5.1' on the 'Download' sidebar. Next, install the SDK, fire up the Windows Control Panel and look under 'Speech'. Make sure your mic is correctly set-up and click 'Train Profile'. You'll be asked to say a number of paragraphs so that the speech recognition software can calibrate itself to your voice. After that, you can train the software as many times as you like (it'll get more and more accurate the more you train it).
