NBA 2K Speech Recognition Tool

Inspired by the Kinect functionality of NBA 2K13, I decided to try and make a tool that will allow PC users to get as much of the same functionality as possible, with any PC microphone. Here's a preview of what I've got so far.

We can only create shortcuts based on keypresses, so nothing too fancy. I'm starting with what's on the D-pad (Right and Left), and then maybe some position specific shortcuts based on Left Bumper + Player Icon, like "5 set a screen" to get your center to set a screen for you. Ideas? Suggestions?

Requires .NET Framework 4.

Here's the keyboard mapping you'll need to do for this version. Make sure that a User Profile is assigned to the Keyboard as a controller and that you save that user profile after changing the controls.

Re: NBA 2K Speech Recognition Tool

Awesome! Should be fun to try out. But am I understanding correctly that you need to use keyboard controls with this, or can you use a gamepad as well?

Re: NBA 2K Speech Recognition Tool

No, no, I'm using my gamepad. It's just that you remap the keyboard controls, because the tool sends key presses to actually do the commands you tell it to. That's why the circle changes from blue to green in the video, that's when the tool takes over and sends some key presses. Once I do anything with the gamepad again, I have full control.

Keep in mind that when the tool tries to take over, if you're doing anything with the gamepad, the command may not work. So call plays when you have a second, not when you're too busy to give up command even for half a second or so.

Re: NBA 2K Speech Recognition Tool

Very cool project. The software keeps crashing on me (Win 7), though. No specific error message.

Re: NBA 2K Speech Recognition Tool

Try reinstalling/repairing .NET Framework 4. It's a rough preview, this version, but it'll soon have all the goodies all my tools have, such as detailed error reporting so that I know what's going wrong.

Re: NBA 2K Speech Recognition Tool

Can't change the title, only moderators can! :P

But if you feel the thread isn't getting enough traction, why not link to it in social media, tell your friends about it, etc?

Re: NBA 2K Speech Recognition Tool

Leftos, this is awesome if it works. It just works with a headset?

Playing the demo on Xbox 360, I found some of the kinect controls so useful. Particularly the "cut to the basket" command.

If you are able to get this working, that would be totally awesome. Should snatch you some serious recognition too

"If I am able to get this working?"

This is ALREADY working! Just download it and have fun! And it works with ANY microphone or headset. ANY microphone whatsoever. No need for expensive equipment or Kinect. A $5 microphone will do the trick just fine.

I'll have a new version up today that adds the "Back" button in the possible buttons for combos, and preset "Timeout" and "Intentional Foul" profiles using the Back button.
