The available keys which the game does not use are RCTRL LALT RALT NUMPAD. NUMPAD 0 NUMPAD ENTER RSHIFT.
I can not get any of these to work for PTA at all.
Again I ask... Can you test PTA by assigning a key and then watching the vac tray icon turn the O on and off while holding the PTA Key down?
I can not get this to work either. Very frustrating...Suggestions please.
I have voice trained and I am using a good quality mic. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I am using MS Speech 6.1. Any more suggestions?

Hi Polecat,
I think you are confusing the function of the three switches, let me explain.
There are three sets of key switches for VAC, but none of them have to be set to have VAC work. In fact it’s better when you start out to set all three switches PTD, PTA and VAC Switch On/Off to none. When you start the VAC System program and load a profile, the blue “P” shows in the system tray with the VAC Microphone, to turn on voice recognition and start using VAC the green “O” must be active and do this with the right click pop up menu from the icon in the system tray. At this point VAC is ready to send commands when the voice phrase is spoken.
The VAC switch allows you to assign a key combination to turn voice recognition on and off rather than the pop up menu. And the only time VAC will work is when the green “O” is up and the green “O” must be up for PTA and PTD to have any function.
Push to Activate (PTA) is mainly for high noise environments and all it does is allow the spoken phrase to be processed while the assigned key is depressed. It’s like a “Push to Talk” button on a microphone.
Push to Deactivate (PTD) is used with voice over the Internet programs like Team Speak and Ventrilo and is use to stop the spoken phrase from being processed while the assigned key is depressed. It’s like cutting the microphone feed with a button.
If you are not using voice over the Internet or you are not in a high noise environment, I wouldn’t use PTD or PTA.
To answer your specific concern:
“Again I ask... Can you test PTA by assigning a key and then watching the vac tray icon turn the O on and off while holding the PTA Key down? I can not get this to work either.”
The PTA key does not control the green “O” in the System tray, only the VAC On/Off switch does.
VAC will work with MS Speech 6.1, I'm using it also.
I hope this helps.
