‎Setting up the VoxWav App on your Android

New page

=Setting up VoxCommando on your Windows PC to communicate with VoxWav (required)=

In order to use VoxWav with VoxCommando you need to enable the [[Plugin_TcpMic|TcpMic plugin]] in VoxCommando.

It is assumed that you already have VoxCommando installed and know how to use it.

You should make sure that you have the <html><a href="http://voxcommando.com/downloads" target="_blank">latest version</a></html> of VoxCommando installed. Version 2 or later is recommended.

==Enable the TcpMic plugin==
* From the main menu select [[Options]] >> "Open Options".
* Go to the "Plugins" tab.
* Place a checkmark next to TcpMic.
* Click "Save and Close".
* Close and restart VoxCommando.
<br/>You do not need to adjust any settings to get the plugin to connect and work.

However some settings may help improve recognition:
* it is often advantageous to reduce the volume to about 25% - 50%.
** make sure "Adjust Volume (%)" is checked and then enter a number from 1 to 100.

* Selecting "Show most recent waveform" and then using VoxWav to send voice commands will show an image of the waveform in the TcpMic plugin settings window. It is usually good to have a waveform that fits well within the central zone. Even if the waveform looks like it is only using about 10% to 20% of the image height, this can often result in the best recognition. Setting the input too high can result in both distortion and a tendency to pick up too much background noise.

=Setting up the VoxWav App on your Android=
==Verify TTS engine==
Make sure that you have a TTS engine (app) installed on your Android device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts&hl=en
Some custom ROMs or other versions of Android may not have the default TTS app installed and VoxWav Pro requires it in order to run.

==Get the App==
Make sure you are using the latest version of VoxWav (Free or Pro) that is available from the [https://play.google.com/store/search?q=jitterjames Google Play store]: <html><a href="https://play.google.com/store/search?q=jitterjames">
 <img alt="Android app on Google Play"
      src="http://www.android.com/images/brand/android_app_on_play_logo_large.png" />
</a></html>

Install VoxWav Pro on your Android device and launch the app. Your Android device must be connected to the same LAN (local area network) as the PC running VoxCommando.
Make sure VoxCommando is running on your PC and that the plugin is enabled (see above).

==Select the host running VoxCommando==

* On the [[VoxWav_Pro_Main_Screen|VoxWav Pro main menu]], click the hosts icon [[File:VoxWavHostIcon.png|28px]]. This icon is usually visible at the top of the main window but on a small-screen device you may need to press the "settings" button to see the menu.)

* Select the desired Host name.

* VoxWav will automatically search for new hosts when it starts. You can also click "Find more" (radio tower icon) on the host menu to search for new hosts.

That's it! Now you can start using [[VoxWav]] Pro as a microphone for VoxCommando!

=VoxWav Settings=
Reviewing the various VoxWav settings is highly recommended.

You can customize the [[VoxWav_Pro_Settings|Settings]] in VoxWav and in the TcpMic plugin to improve accuracy or customize VoxWav to fit your needs.
