I mean Voicebot just need to check if the level is shown below or not. If a level is only visible in Voicebot then the code that you are listening to must be run first. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#96 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:32:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#96 VoiceBot Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "audio level deflecting." Our developers are planning to add some more logging to see what's up. It's starting to look more like a bug in the MS Speech Engine, as I got some clarification on the process:

• VoiceBot tells the speech engine to listen
• When the speech engine hears something it thinks is speech, it tells VoiceBot that it's hearing words
• VoiceBot then asks it for what it heard and tries to match it up with a macro command

So for some reason, the MS Speech Engine is just always thinking it's hearing words being spoken. We are going to add as much logging for the speech engine that we can so that we can get a new log from you and hopefully see if there's some way we can fix or work around this issue ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#95 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 14:21:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#95 VoiceBot As already described above, my idea was to incorporate a test to determine whether the level was deflecting. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#94 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 14:04:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#94 VoiceBot It doesn't have any custom settings for microphone level, no. This is just really strange. Let me check in with our developers again with this new info and see if they have any other thoughts. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#93 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 17:04:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#93 VoiceBot Um den Fehler wieder zu beheben, habe ich einen weiteren Screenshot gemacht. Hier können Sie sehen, dass der Pegel in Windows und Voicebot nicht abgelenkt ist, aber Voicebot immer noch zuhört! Hat Voicebot eine zweite Einstellung für das Level? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#92 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 21:28:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#92 VoiceBot No, under Windows the level is permanently at 64%. This was always the case with the webcam. The level was only visibly adjusted in Windows when I started a voice chat in Steam, but I turned this off according to the instructions you linked.

Even so, the sensitivity of the microphone in Voicebot increases after a while if there is loud and long background noise. Voicebot even hears more than the maximum setting of 100% that can be set in Windows ?! As if Voicebot not only listens to the microphone, but also to something else.
Yes, the problem occurs even when no programs are running.

Have you tried this: level below 70%, loud and long into the microphone (so that the level fully deflects) and then quiet noises (so that the level does not deflect). Voicebot also hears the quiet noises from me. The best way to test this is to play a quiet video.

edit: Is it not possible to check whether the level is deflected and only then execute Voicebot commands (i.e. everything that is executed in the program)? You could create a new variable under Settings where you can set the value of the level to be checked, whereby 0 is the default value and Voicebot works as it does now.
For example:
if (level >= 5 (variable)) {
# Voicebot program block
} ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#91 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 20:35:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#91 VoiceBot Not yet, sorry. Interesting that it happened with a headset as well though. Was the volume level getting changed with the headset too?

What happens if you have no other programs running in the background and only have VoiceBot running? Does it still end up having the blue icon permanently? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#90 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 10:51:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#90 VoiceBot Is there anything new in this regard?

But there is also the situation shown above, when there is little background noise, in which Voicebot (and Windows) does not show a level, but Voicebot is still listening !?
Actually, Voicebot should only react when the level is displayed (which is also the case when you speak louder!) And not when the level is not displayed. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#88 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 20:40:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#88 VoiceBot After restarting VoiceBot does it display the levels? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#87 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 20:13:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#87 VoiceBot even though I have now deactivated the automatic adjustment, Voicebot still listens although no level is displayed! ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#86 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 14:38:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#86 VoiceBot ok i did. I will test it and then get in touch.
I didn't know that Steam rules this if I don't have voice chat. In addition, shouldn't the level in Windows always be at 100%? I only see after an active voice chat that the level has changed to 100%. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#85 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 14:15:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#85 VoiceBot Ok, interesting! VoiceBot doesn't have any code that would be adjusting the levels, but it looks like Steam chat does. Could you try disabling it in Steam?

Sorry
The question is why Voicebot hears something even though no level is displayed. As if Voicebot automatically sets the level to 100% again, but doesn't see anything of it anywhere.

With Steam Voicechat, the level is also increased, only it is visible there ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#83 Mon, 01 Feb 2021 20:19:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#83 VoiceBot I've never run into that, where it doesn't show up in the graph. Strange! Is there any chance you have a headset microphone you could try? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#82 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 11:37:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#82 VoiceBot Yes, I use a webcam, the sound is extremely quiet at this point and the level of the microphone is only between 50 and 60%. In Voicebot no level is displayed at such a low volume but he still hears something? I have now made a screenshot where there was an ambient noise. Still the same problem, no level visible in Voicebot but the icon is blue! In addition, I created a log again (time see screenshot)

I am not familiar with it, is there a possibility that the speech recognition or Voicebot only reacts to certain frequencies?

Mouse clicks are also heard, although there is no level change in Voicebot or Windows, but the icon turns blue. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#81 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 20:01:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#81 VoiceBot Thanks! There is something interesting in the log, which goes along with what you mentioned about the icon being permanently blue. VoiceBot seems to be picking up some kind of audio, and it's timing out on that noise, so we think what's happening is that sometimes it's just timing out in the middle of your actual speech, because it's been "hearing" noise for too long.

What kind of microphone are you using? Is it a headset, or a webcam, or built-in microphone?

When this happens again, could you also attach a screenshot of the main VoiceBot window so that I can see the audio levels in the graph at the bottom of the main window?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#80 Sun, 17 Jan 2021 13:36:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#80 VoiceBot Here I have the complete log where he understands me relatively poorly and letters appear in the log in the meantime.

That's why I think that the older ones also have this problem ...

Can this be due to the German implementation?

The problem only occurs after making your own loud noises.
The problem is most likely to occur when the volume is at 100%.

It seems to me that Voicebot is also very sensitive when the problem occurs, that is, the icon often looks blue even though there is no or only a very soft sound (the level in Windows does not show up either).

Should I send one or more logs again when this problem occurs? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#77 Sat, 09 Jan 2021 02:06:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/toggle-key/?ID=3bc1cc96-f437-41b4-86ad-016b5e93d713#77 VoiceBot I still haven't had any luck reproducing this issue here, even with your settings and VoiceBot running for days
