Test your english pronunciation

By the test window you can test the default words that constitute the set of your voice commands. Default words are chosen from ones of the NATO military alphabet, usually well recognized also from poor quality microphones.

The words database of the Speech Engine it is composed only of the seven words of the grid. This mean that if you speak a word not present in the database can happen:

  1. that the word is not recognized ( unknown )
  2. that the word is recognized as a voice command, if quite similar, often with good accuracy. This is the bigger problem of every speech recognition engine and poor quality microphones. The default words of the NATO alphabet have few mistakes. Check eventual misreadings of your new custom words before to act with them.

Background cells of red color indicate that the voice command is not available (disabled by program or by Pokerstars settings). Disabled voice commands can be anyway tested to reach in any case the the better word recognition by the Microsoft Speech Engine V11.
