Voice Control

Execute actions with your own voice!

Leveraging the Microsoft Speech Recognition built into Windows, you can configure Speech-to-Text commands to execute actions with your own voice.

This feature relies on the Microsoft Voice Recognition engine. Check out the resources for useful information.

Commands

To get started, navigate to Voice Control > Commands in Streamer.bot

Voice Control Configuration

Namerequired

Enabled
Toggle

Commandrequired
Text

Enter the command phrase Streamer.bot should listen for

Location
Select
default:Exact

Modify command detection behavior:

  • Exact - Detect the phrase as a full sentence. Require a pause before and after the phrase.
  • Start - Detect the phrase at the beginning of a sentence. Require a pause before the phrase.
  • Anywhere - Commands can trigger even if the phrase is detected in the middle of a sentence. No pause required.
If a command is set to Exact, this will be an exact grammar match, usually resulting in a much higher confidence over using dictation and the Start or Anywhere location.
The Stop After toggle will stop processing any further dictation checks immediately after a phrase is detected, rather than waiting for the next pause.
