When Irrational Games developed the expansion pack The Stetchkov Syndicate for SWAT 4, they (evidently) had planned to implement speech recognition into the game.
In fact, they did implement it in a working condition, with very basic commands. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons they never finished it, and disabled it for release.
Simply by setting a flag in a config file, speech recognition can be enabled in SWAT 4: The Stechkov Syndicate, which will allow you to command your squad, albeit with very basic and exact commands.
Eg. for ordering officers to fall in, one must say "Fall in". Nothing else is recognized.
Furthermore, gameplay-wise it was never completed either, and speech recognition allows things not intended by the gameplay.
For example, with speech recognition, officers can be ordered to cuff uncompliant suspects or hostages.
And things like sending reports to TOC or yelling at suspects/hostages to comply still had to be done the old fashioned way, by pressing a key, and let the voice over do it for you.
This mod aims to rectify all this, and adds a much more natural way of interacting with officers. Eg. to order officers to fall in, you can say "Fall in", "On me", "This way", "Follow me", etc.The mod also allows players to send reports to TOC and order suspects/hostages to comply, using their voice.
Initially, these were the only changes. But soon I started changing things I didn't like, and adding more features, and it kind of became a mod that improves the overall experience of SWAT 4.
Here's a few of the things the mod also changes/adds:
- Officers will ask player to repeat if what the player said was not recognized.
- Officers equip optiwands much faster, and reports suspects while the wand is still under the door, rather than after.
- The player can be the thrower when breaching a room. Officers will wait for the player to throw a grenade.
- Fixed AI officers unable to deploy more than one lightstick each.
- Doors can be locked, and officers can be ordered to lock doors.
- Officers can be ordered to pick up multiple pieces of evidence, or ordered to cuff all suspects in sight.
- Multiple suspects/hostages can be reported at once to TOC.
- Added modern screen resolutions to the settings menu.
- Plus more.
Prerequisites
SWAT 4: The Stetchkov Syndicate (Regular SWAT 4 won't work).
English Windows operating system.
Clear american/english accent. I'm sorry, but a thick french accent just isn't going to cut it. Try speaking like a newscaster. That type of speech usually works well for speech recognition.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (For the installer and launcher).
Articles
This is the speech grammar as understood by the speech recognition engine.
The syntax of the grammar is as follows:
A question mark (?) before a word, means that that word is optional, and the phrase will be recognized with or without saying that word. Eg. for the grammar "Blue ?Team", both saying "Blue Team" and "Blue", is recognized as the command for selecting blue team.
Three dots (...) is a wildcard, meaning that anything can be said in place of it (including nothing at all), and it will be recognized. Eg. for the grammar "... cuff ...", both saying "cuff", "Go over there and cuff that guy" and "cuff that idiot" will be recognized as the command for cuffing a person.
Each type of order (team selection / commands) can be given separately, or combined in the following ways:
TEAM (Eg. "Blue team.")
COMMAND (Eg. "Open and clear.")
TEAM, COMMAND (Eg. "Blue team, open and clear.")
TEAM, HOLD, COMMAND (Eg. "Blue team, on my command, open and clear.")
HOLD, COMMAND (Eg. "On my command, open and clear.")
Note that no pause is required between each type of order. "Blue team on my command open and clear" will be recognized just fine. Also note that no other combination of the order types are supported. Eg. COMMAND, TEAM such as "Open and clear, blue team", is not supported, and would probably cause it to be recognized as two commands. The current team will open and clear, and then the blue team will be selected.
A few more examples:
Example 1:
If you say: "As element, open & clear.", the following is recognized:
TEAM, COMMAND
Team selection grammar: "?As ?an element"
Command grammar: "Open and clear."
And thus, the entire squad will be slected, and the "Open and clear" command will be executed.
Example 2:
If you say: "Blue team, wait for my signal, then blow up the door.", the following is recognized:
TEAM, HOLD, COMMAND
Team selection grammar: "Blue ?Team"
Hold grammar: "Wait for my signal, ?and then"
Command grammar: "Blow ... door."
And thus, the blue team will be selected, the squad will wait for the Zulu command, and finally the command to place a C2 charge will be executed.

Could you translate or can I translate the mod into Spanish?
It says the installer couldn't find SWAT 4 on this computer... I have it installed on the same drive
It says: The installer could not locate SWAT 4 on this computer... I already had the latest version of .net, Please help! How could I fix this problem?! Please!
Will someone please explain to me how to set it up .. I've tried YouTube different discussions..
If you don't know, I'm pretty sure this is included with SEF. It seems to work fine, just be loud and clear. - Should be an option to enable in the... well, options menu.
In my option menu, the Speech Recognition was blurred and I can't enabled it :((
