This will fill up gradually with Troubleshooting tips as people run into common
ones.
## VoiceAttack does not understand me / mishears me / fires random commands
There is [a thread on the VoiceAttack
forums](https://forum.voiceattack.com/smf/index.php?topic=2667.msg12197#msg12197)
on how to set up your microphone and the speech recognition engine to work best.
If your microphone is bad and you still get erroneous recognitions when you are
not speaking it is probably going to recognize the same command every time. You
can remedy that by blocking the voice trigger. One-syllable triggers are
especially prone to misrecognition.
1. Create a new command in your custom profile.
1. Set the “when I say” field to the trigger that gets misrecognized.
Adding the “Other” → “VoiceAttack Action” → “Ignore an Unrecognized Word or
Phrase” action will also hide it from the VoiceAttack log when it is (wrongly)
recognized. You might or might not want that.
Example for the “cruise” voice trigger of the Supercruise command:

Alternatively you can raise the minimum confidence level and call the underlying
command to make misfires less likely:
![[troubleshooting-raise-min-confidence.png]]
There are a few examples in the [Custom Profile
Example](../installing#use-the-profile-example).
## VoiceAttack recognizes a command, but doesnt do anything in game
Make sure you have a keyboard bind for whatever the command is supposed to do as
outlined in [[Installing#Set Elite Keyboard Binds]].
## VoiceAttack talks over the COVAS voice
There is no way to know for sure when the ingame COVAS is talking to you, so
there is no way to always prevent the two from speaking over each other.
You can however either disable TTS responses for events that you know will clash
(or [file a feature
request](https://github.com/alterNERDtive/VoiceAttack-profiles/issues/) if one
is not optional yet). Alternatively, if you prefer the info given by VoiceAttack
over the ingame COVAS, you can deactivate its response to these events in the
ingame Audo settings:

While youre in there you might as well get rid of the spoken FSD countdown that
is off by one second …
