We have released v0.31.0-alpha. It supports Anniversary Edition and includes a brand new optional speech recognition engine: Voice2Json to replace the old Microsoft speech recognition engine.
Note the engine is always optional. If you remove the Engine=Voice2Json line from the configuration file, the Microsoft Speech Recognition Engine will be used. Then you can use the alpha version like the beta version, and you don't need to install Docker for Windows.
The new engine will solve many problems: 1. Microsoft's speech recognition engine is bound to the system locale, making it difficult to make the engine work properly. 2. Lower recognition rate. You have to speak clearly like an announcer to be likely to be recognized. 3. The probability of false triggering is high. After a while, any noise the microphone picks up will trigger a random command.
The new engine does not have the aforementioned drawbacks. For English speakers, it has far better recognition accuracy than Microsoft and is less prone to false triggering.
However, the new engine is not perfect, and some non-English languages may not work at all (Known issues: Chinese and Russian works poorly). We look forward to your feedback.
Also, in order to run the new engine, you must have Docker Desktop installed. You will also need to modify the configuration file for the new engine to take effect (the default engine is still Microsoft).
dragonborn_speaks_naturally.dll contains code that hooks into SkyrimSE/VR.exe in order to take over dialogue and console commands. This hooking method is similar to a virus. Meanwhile, DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.exe has code to execute cmd commands in Windows in order to connect to the Voice2Json speech engine in docker. This makes some antivirus software think they are suspicious. In addition, DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.exe uses your microphone, which further increases the suspicion of antivirus software on it.
Therefore, every new version we upload will be quarantined and need to wait for the review of a NexusMods staff. This is why most of our releases are flagged for manually verified.
So are these files really doing the malicious things that antivirus software fears? I think the answer is no. dragonborn_speaks_naturally.dll just does what you want it to do: hooks into Skyrim, takes over Skyrim's dialogue and console commands, and simulates keypresses as you dictate. DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.exe also does what you ask it to do: record from your microphone, pass it to one of the speech recognition engines (Microsoft or Voice2Json), recognize the command you want to run and send it to dragonborn_speaks_naturally.dll. Then, dragonborn_speaks_naturally.dll will execute these commands (console, dialog or simulated keystrokes). During the entire process, your microphone recording never leaves your computer. And all the behavior of the mod depends on the configuration files you write and what you say through the microphone. No third party can remotely control its behavior.
The mod will not connect to the Internet while it is running (If you choose the Voice2Json engine, some model files will be downloaded from GitHub on the first launch, and once the download is complete, no internet connection is required; the Microsoft engine also does not use an internet connection). If you see an Internet connection in the VirusTotal behavior report, it's not the mod, but the VirusTotal's scanner are downloading the zip file from their own servers. The same page will also record the behavior of the scanner to decompress the DSN zip with 7z, which proves that not all the behaviors recorded are from the scanning target.
If you still have doubts about the safety of the mod, you can review its code yourself or ask experienced people. All of our releases are compiled from the following repositories, using Visual Studio Community 2022, to the x64 Release target: https://github.com/YihaoPeng/DragonbornSpeaksNaturally
Love this mod, using the beta version and so far it's flawless...really increases the immersion! I'm also using the .ini file to send console commands (god mode, infinite carry, etc.). So far sending console commands works fine, but I'd really like to see positive confirmation of a console command invoked with DSN just to make sure...for example, if I turn god mode on, I'd like to see or hear a confirmation in the SkyrimVR world. Is there a way to modify the .ini file to either hear or see a confirmation of a console command?
shout with cooldown and with shouts you actually know i added zaan infront of all the shouts to prevent accidental shouts also used English "pronunciation" instead of the actual names so its more accurate

While I love and use DSN, after further testing I personally feel like recognition for shouts in particular is still better / quicker / more responsive with SkyVoice Reloaded & VoiceMacro.
I did find it extremely useful to preface all shouts with Zaan, however. Thanks for that
That's really interesting. Because it did indeed work; the command started working to activate things as if I'd pressed e. And I swear I learned the command from the documentation for this mod somewhere. It's not like I just tried random words until I found one that worked y'know?
Thank you for this wonderful mod which has brought joy to my family and allowed me to enjoy a game which was otherwise 90% menu management in order to access spells etcetera. Now I can switch spells on the family without being limited to just a few things.
I have a few issues.
1. For WSL, it would be wonderful if there was a way to enable and disable speech recognition with a button press instead of having to voice the command. This is because after disabling speech recognition, ongoing speech will ALWAYS eventually re-enable voice commands, even if what I'm saying doesn't match activation pattern at all! This matters when I'm throwing in ambient chatter for my kids to enjoy, and is the biggest reason I was hoping Voice2JSON would work.
For reference, my disable phrase is "Please don't listen to me;Yes darling what is it", while the re-enable phrase is "Magic Elephant Says Activate Voice Features" and it STILL randomly re-enables while I'm reading a book out. lol
2. I have been trying to move to Voice2JSON to avoid the looming deletion of WSL, but could not work out what the issue is. I might try installing Voice2JSON without Docker to see if that's the problem, but the actual word recognition in the log seems worse than WSL. Voice2JSON does not seem to implement commands, as posted on Github. I can get it to activate and de-activate, but it won't equip things like WSL does. I tried dropping commandMinConfidence=0.7 from my preferred 0.9.
3. Is there any reason why the command "use shield" would often equip the spell "healing"?
Edit: Making VERY different voice commands helped with the pause/resume issue and increasing the MinConfidence values
Edit: Nope, it just does it based on time. After a couple of minutes, it just presumes I'm telling it to turn itself back on. So weird.
4. I found it necessary to disable any command that does 'press e', else you'll randomly steal items without meaning to while reading them out loud. It helped to preface my shouts with Zaan (from the SkyVoice mod) so I wasn't accidentally shouting mid book reading also.
I'm SO confused. i uncommented some of the commands in the .ini and made some of my own following the layout, and my engine loops the commands and now the dialogue side of the mod isn't even working.(after changing things, i can't even use the mod to pick responses in chats.) i've almost triple checked to make sure the only things i changed were the lines that i either added commands to, or removed the semicolon to make the example commands i wanted work.
DSN tries to find DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini in multiple locations, maybe it loads another DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini in a different location. It is recommended that you check Documents\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.log to confirm which configuration file is loaded.
So if I want to use this is there a way to get it to select the options based on keywords rather than having to say the entire line? Because I think it would be awesome to not have to read the lines like a script and just say what you want as long as you have the keyword.
Set Engine=Microsoft allow you to do this, then find SubsetMatchingMode=None and change it to one of the followingSubsetMatchingMode=OrderedSubsetContentRequired SubsetMatchingMode=SubsequenceContentRequired SubsetMatchingMode=OrderedSubset SubsetMatchingMode=Subsequence
filepath not found: I:\Steam\steamapps\common\SkyrimVR\Data\Plugins\Sumwunn\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini filepath not found: I:\Steam\steamapps\common\SkyrimVR\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini filepath not found: C:\Users\USER\Documents\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini filepath not found: C:\Users\USER\Documents\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini.ini filepath not found: I:\Steam\steamapps\common\SkyrimVR\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini.ini Failed to watch for config files: System.Exception: Configuration file does not exist.
I've installed it as part of Mad God Overhaul, so the "DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini" file is in my wabbajack mods folder. How can I direct it to this directory?
Just copy DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini to the same folder as the log and everything should be fine.
If anyone doesn't know where the directory is, it's in "File Explorer > Documents > DragonbornSpeaksNaturally".
If someone still can't find the folder, there is another place to put it. Right-click your game in your Steam library, select Manage > Browse Local Files, and place DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini in the folder that opens.
The "DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini" file is in my wabbajack mods folder. How can I direct it to this directory?
Copying the file directly to Documents folder is always the recommended way. But if you don't want to copy files, you can redirect files using a feature called symbolic links. Right-click the Start button, select "Administrator Terminal" or "Administrator Command Prompt", then enter the following command (replace the path with your own) and press Enter:
Replace "C:\Users\USER\Documents\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini" to one path of your "filepath not found" error; Replace "X:\xxx\xxx\DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini" to the realpath of the DragonbornSpeaksNaturally.ini file (the path in your wabbajack mods folder).
You can do the same with modded followers but the ID's will depend on your load order so just check in console when you recruit them and add them with the same format. Hope this helps some people. For generic start conversation with any NPC then the talk to close ones mod is better as discussed in other posts. But this method does not require looking at the follower.

hello=press e; sleep 10; release e
dsn_plugin/ConsoleCommandRunner.cpp#L75
So if it does work, it's probably because the extra invalid commands add processing delays.
So
hello=press e 100may works too. This will keep e pressed for 100 milliseconds instead of the default 50 milliseconds.I have a few issues.
1. For WSL, it would be wonderful if there was a way to enable and disable speech recognition with a button press instead of having to voice the command. This is because after disabling speech recognition, ongoing speech will ALWAYS eventually re-enable voice commands, even if what I'm saying doesn't match activation pattern at all! This matters when I'm throwing in ambient chatter for my kids to enjoy, and is the biggest reason I was hoping Voice2JSON would work.
For reference, my disable phrase is "Please don't listen to me;Yes darling what is it", while the re-enable phrase is "Magic Elephant Says Activate Voice Features" and it STILL randomly re-enables while I'm reading a book out. lol
2. I have been trying to move to Voice2JSON to avoid the looming deletion of WSL, but could not work out what the issue is. I might try installing Voice2JSON without Docker to see if that's the problem, but the actual word recognition in the log seems worse than WSL. Voice2JSON does not seem to implement commands, as posted on Github. I can get it to activate and de-activate, but it won't equip things like WSL does. I tried dropping commandMinConfidence=0.7 from my preferred 0.9.
3. Is there any reason why the command "use shield" would often equip the spell "healing"?
Edit: Making VERY different voice commands helped with the pause/resume issue and increasing the MinConfidence values
Edit: Nope, it just does it based on time. After a couple of minutes, it just presumes I'm telling it to turn itself back on. So weird.
4. I found it necessary to disable any command that does 'press e', else you'll randomly steal items without meaning to while reading them out loud. It helped to preface my shouts with Zaan (from the SkyVoice mod) so I wasn't accidentally shouting mid book reading also.
First hello won't register, 2nd hello will.
First "what have you got for sale" won't register, 2nd will. This also applies to goodbye phrases
Any way to fix this annoying problem?

allow you to do this, then findSubsetMatchingMode=None

You can do the same with modded followers but the ID's will depend on your load order so just check in console when you recruit them and add them with the same format. Hope this helps some people. For generic start conversation with any NPC then the talk to close ones mod is better as discussed in other posts. But this method does not require looking at the follower.
