Hi guys and girls,
I would like to bring to your attention this new speech recognizer with immersion staggering features like synonyms, variables and audio feedback programs.
It is a capable speech and hotkey controlled macro tool at the same time ( mouse move / click + keyboard ).
The freeware version might be quite sufficient with the right ARMA settings.
Do not hesitate to ask for features or to criticize what you dislike about it.
Looking forward to mutual support from and to the ARMA community.

Hi guys,
I'm new to Arma and looking forward to a long future with this fantastic tactical fighting sim.
As a noob I can not open a new thread and not post links, so take this:
I have written Livrot Mic Command, a speech recognizer and macro tool:
livrot.com
It can load old VAC and keyspeech profiles and offers many new features.
With the right ARMA settings you may find the freeware version sufficient for your needs.
I post this for advertising, yes - but not only:
Send me a PM or open a thread if you can and I give this community maximum support / build in new features to your likings.
Cheers, Livrot

News:
• The Microsoft Speech Platform 11 can now be used, too. 26 languages are available for this recognizer.
Read more about it here (Link:) Changing the Speech Recognizer Platform
• 26 language specific artificial feedback voices can now be installed and used (google Microsoft Speech
Platform 11 download to get them)
• New installer created that takes care of the correct installation of the Microsoft Speech Platform 11 and
one language and voice for it. Read more about it here: Installation
• If multiple voice feedback messages are are to be spoken at the same time, they are stacked up in the
correct order and spoken one after another (with an optional exception – read next point).
• New option created for voice feedback: 'parallel talk (MSP 11/System)'. Enabled, voices of the MSP 11
(Microsoft Speech Platform 11) can run in parallel to the standard voice of your system (Microsoft Anna).
This way 'Anna' can give feedback for LMC hotkey triggering and/or command triggering at the same
time that an artificial speech macro event uses a MSP 11 voice.
• Profile name now shown in the title bar of the editor. The tooltip shows the complete path.
• List of macro events - editing: delete now selects the next event when done.
• Placeholder window: 'OK' button seen when editing a placeholder has been moved further down (next to
cancel).
• 'New Profile' function added to the file menu.
• 'else { }' macro event created
• 'if not equal (conditional bracket)' and 'while not equal (conditional bracket)' macro event created
• Macro playback: green led in the logo and on the task bar icon is now blinking to indicate sync macro
playback
• Manual selector added in settings / preferences
• German Manual created.
• English Manual completely overhauled.
• Default fontsize decreased to 14.
• File association for LMC profiles created. Profiles are saved to .lmc files from now on. They are still .zip
archive files (simply renamed from .zip to .lmc). File icon created for .lmc files.
• 'Alt' key now opens the menu, 'Alt F4' now closes LMC-Windows.
• Low-Level-Hotkey System redesigned. Hotkey recording trouble for laptop owners fixed.
• New settings for LL-Hotkeys: 'ignore release events', 'eaten events are send to all eater hotkeys',
'key repeat'
• New automatic 'repair' for LL-'eater' Hotkeys: first key/button is no longer a 'lost key'/'lost button'
• Low-Level-Hotkey Modes have been created.
• Joystick events now always automatically respect the recorded device number for triggering
- easier recognition and separation of multiple attached joystick devices
• Left and Right Alt key can now be recorded in Hotkeys and macros.
• Voice Feedback did 'freeze' LMC. Fixed.
• Temporary macro recording: disabling the 'auto stop recording' delay in the Settings-Window / Macro
page resulted in recordings stopping right after the first event recorded. Fixed.
• 'save profile as' did not change the profile name in LMC. using the simple 'save profile' function
Afterwards saved it to the old name :( . Fixed.
• Optional phrases have not been loaded from profiles before. Fixed.
• 'Cancel' in the Command-Editor-Window did not restore optional phrases and also not the error log of
the edited command. Fixed.
• Command-Editor-Window: 'Text Lines': cursor positioning in the text was off by some pixels. Fixed for all
198 Livrot Mic Command 198
font sizes now.
• 'Quit without saving profile?' popped up when quitting without having changed a command (if the editor
got opened just once). Fixed.
• Debugging mode: a breakpoint hit was not selected/highlighted in the command editor window of the
command. Fixed.
• Constant data editing in the data control window didn't work. Fixed.
• Macro testing: 'use OSD' mode didn't work. Fixed.
• Modify-Window replacement algorithm was faulty. Fixed.
- New command editor window - all command settings in one window. Multiple commands can be opened and edited at the same time
- Many new columns created for the commandlist editor, each with sort up / down capability, position and width are saved with the profile
- Separate search window - with a search box for every column in the commandlist editor
- Separate windows and new buttons for synonyms and placeholder (was named 'variables' in earlier versions)
- Separate window for multi command editing with new replacement option to insert content off other columns.
- Separate window for the 'Device manager for hotkey events'.
- Profile load, save, add, ... buttons removed (to gain more screen estate for the commandlist / columns) - right click on the commandlist and open the context menu instead.
Multiple command windows can be opened at the same time to copy macro events from one command to another and for complex macro callback testing scenarios with active breakpoints set in different commands.
Every setting of a command can now be shown, sorted and searched for in a column of the commandlist.
Trigger statistics (hotkey / speech / artificial (macro) / ACR (average confidence result) / last triggered) also available in columns for comparison.
Optional phrases for commands. Reload original VAC / keyspeech / shoot! / VA profiles with this new version please - or convert synonyms into optional phrases in the synonym window.
Synonyms can now be used to create new phrases profile wide, test them some days / weeks and finally add them to optional phrases to gain editor speed.
Much increased macro execution speed - around 1 million simple operations (events) per second (with simple events like 'add to integer' and check a 'while' loop condition).
Async playback switch for commands - allow playback when another macro is already running.
A sophisticated timer system has been created to allow multi macro playback inside the LMC thread and guarantee responsiveness of the LMC user interface / windows at the same time.
If multiple sync macros are triggered they are now stacked up (maximum 10) and no longer rejected.
Settings have been created to permit finetuning this timer system depending on the usage scenario:
- maximum event execution time in milliseconds without delay (maximum run-time without timer call)
- forced timeout in milliseconds (length of forced timer delay time)
- maximum running async macros
- sync macro stack limit (waiting sync macros if multiple are triggered while another sync macro is still running)
Macros can now start other macros with up to two different parameters (any data type) and optionally asking for a return value (any type) - just like a function call in standard programming languages.
Caller and target macro can be async or sync or mixed.
The data control window now offers local data information of running macros.
Each running macro instance has its very own copy of local data, of course.
Enable switch for commands.
Many new 'event control' options ( on / off switches for event types ) for macro playback: trigger-, speech-, sound- event permission
The information and options presented in the 'L' label in the LMC window titlebars and taskbar icon has been reworked:
- the microphone on / off state is now easy to spot together with macro playback / recording / pause information
- the microphone and speech recognizer can now alternatively be controled by clicking on the 'L' label directly.
- just check the tooltip of the 'L' label in the corner of LMC windows.
Tooltips can now be turned off.
New checkbox created to allow automatic pop up of the 'Device manager for hotkey events' at program start if devices needed to trigger any Low Level hotkey are not connected.
Macro 'average delay' time and 'timer busted' counter columns added.
New grammar options in phrases created. (Wildcard, Key - Value element with useable result in the macro program)
Placeholder usage is now possible in response programs.
Reduced loading time for profiles.
Increased editor responsiveness through dynamic selective undo backup in the background.
New editor slider button - size depends on visible area vs. length of the commandlist.
A click in the log on a recognized phrase opens the corresponding command editor window.
Context menu (right click) created for the log.
Improved column dragging, column show/hide, column state saving / loading to / from profile.
Video Player added to response programs.
Keyboard Input can now be used for 'assign' macro events. (A Window with two optional textlines opens and wairts for user input.)
Macro event display reworked. Conditional Bracket event blocks are now indented. Macro Events are now written more or less like java / c# code.
Placeholders reworked. Now multiple underscores can be used in the placeholder name and are finally also recognized in the speech configuration mode.
New $placeholder created for phrases.
The identification of commands for macro triggering / data control window -> local data selection uses the name instead off the phrase of a command from now on.
Play response program - the old responses of your commands will be translated into this event while loading and added to the end your macro event lists of the corresponding commands (only if they were enabled!).
Play sound file - with adjustable playback speed and supporting more filetypes.
New 'assign return value' - event option: assign a return value of another macro.
All log filters fixed.
Many fixes around the device management system for hotkeys - it now uses the vendor ID (VID) and product ID (PID) instead of the offen changing registry keys.
With enables synonyms the confidence result was not displayed in the log. Fixed.
The Data Control Window did not use an independent deep copy of the commandlist as anounced. Fixed now.
Colour settings were lost if not saved in a profile (due to the new multi window design). Fixed.
OSD display usage for makro testing has been reworked.
Hotkeys using joysticks update joystick subscription with every device change from now on - before joysticks had toto be plugged in before loading a profile.
Keyrepeat is now ignored completely for LowLevel Hotkeys.
Standard Window resizing by throwing them against the edges of the screen is now implemented.
Led states reworked. Microphone state easier to spot now.
Version V1.150503 released:
new app design created: editor, log, settings now have their own window.
new command structure: all commands are now macro commands
- removed 'plain text' commands and 'open file commands'
( old profiles will be converted automatically upon loading )
data system created:
- local data (named, useable inside of one macro)
- global data (named, useable inside all macros)
- constant data (named, unchangeable but read / useable inside all macros)
- fixed values
data types created:
- bool
- byte
- int
- double
- string
- file
- clipboard
these data types are all nullable - can be assigned / unassigned
a lot of conversion from one data type to another are possible
all data contents are saved together with the profile
all data can have an initial value to be used at program start
a large range of actions upon these data types has been created, too:
macro event builder created:
easily manipulate the data types by building macro events.
instructions how to build the event are always displayed.
conditional brackets and loops (if / while) are also be easily created.
new macro actions created:
- open file (with argument, working directory as parameters)
- kill process (name, machine name)
- restart this macro
- delay this macro
- stop this macro
- stop this macro and start another macro (phrase)
- ask user (question) result bool
- change response text for this run
- compare and manipulate files / directories
- get system clipboard to a clipboard variable
- set system clipboard from a clipboard variable
- data control window created:
- see and manipulate data while the speech recogniser is running.
- displays clipboard contents, too (image, text, file drop list)
- with a simple text editor for text- / file drop list - clipboards
editor:
- columns can now be shown / hidden
- columns can now be moved to another position
- columns size and position are now saved with the profile
- more columns created (confidence / weight / category / name / variables)
commands category created: just enter a category or choose from existing categorys in the drop down list and sort your commandlist by category
settings / main: new option: reset data upon loading
settings / log: save log / save log as button crashed. fixed.
editor / single: new layout
editor / multi edit: other columns content can now be inserted in the replacement texts (see 'WITH' questionmark)
editor / variables: renamed to 'placeholder'
editor / language: moved into the context menu (right click on the commandlist and choose 'convert character language')
LMC can now be given a profile as command parameter. Example: Livrot_MicCommand.exe C:\work.xml
more development speed achieved by dropping the freeware version.
the app can now be used in three ways:
- without license (freeware mode)
- mouse macro output is ignored
- keyboard CTRL and ALT keys are ignored
- with a temporary license (enter your username and password from livrot.com before every use to obtain a temporary license from livrot.com)
- after 30 minutes mouse macro output is ignored
- after 1 hour keyboard CTRL and ALT keys are ignored
- with a full license
- just enter your username and password from livrot.com at first program start and instantly receive a full license for your machine.
old changelogs:
