VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Re: Disable speech recognition during TTS.Speak.Sync Not Working (Solved)

« on: February 02, 2015, 04:05:54 PM »

Hi James.

Thanks for the tip! The \ key is the standard keyboard command for switching window mode since I started using XBMC a few years ago, still is. According to the Kodi wiki it still is. http://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls. The command is: backslash
I'm still on Gotham 13.2. Helix must wait, I have a huge library and dozens of custom mods and tweaks I should've kept track of, so not looking forward to do the upgrade.

Problem solved! Wow, thank you nime5ter, you guys are on the ball, I'm sold, thank you so much. This is by far the best and quickest online support I ever encountered! 

For the benefit of others: What I did to prevent the system to execute commands while it speaks and completely ignore itself was to go through each command that had the TTS.Speak action and replace it with TTS.SpeakSync. A Quick & simple highlight & paste job 
Now my system speaks aloud all my elaborate messages to everyone's amusement without any interference. Awesome stuff!

About the window mode toggle. All I did was to find the voicecommands.xml file and search for the command. Problem was that the command contained: <param>\</param> changed it to <param>backslash</param>. Just be sure VC don't overwrite it when you exit. A simpler route is to simply replace the \ with the word backslash in VC -> Edit Pop-up, exit & save. Sure learned a few tricks in quick time!

As for looking at the link, I did apply the helpful suggestions before I posted, thank you. As for the verification, all-righty then!

Thank you so much for the superb support, this thread can be closed or marked as solved, not sure where or how to do it if required.

Regards,

from a new client!

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Disable speech recognition during TTS.Speak.Sync Not Working (Solved)

Good day

VC executes various commands in XBMC even though I have the option ticked under Plugins -> TTS. I am a new prospective buyer and would like to test this brilliant software, but because the trial version is limited to only 40 commands it is extremely frustrating when 70% of those command are triggered by the speakers. I assumed that this option is to prevent that from happening (the system listening to itself). Obviously I have it wrong or did something wrong.

Another minor issue I can't get to work is for XBMC to switch from windowed mode using the \ key. I used XJson.Btn.KB

Apologies if this was already answered, I did search the forums and found other very helpful related tips.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Ps. Verification is a bit of overkill! Especially for us non English speaking users
