Common issues

#Dispatch doesn't respond at all

• Off duty. Most commands need you on duty in c3r.
• Wrong mic. Open /control and pick the right microphone, then use Mic check: hold the button and say a command. It shows your level and what dispatch heard.
• H is taken. Another script on H (the taser's flashlight, a radio script) can swallow the key. Rebind one in Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM.
• Still loading. On a player's first join the speech model is downloading. Wait for it to finish.

#"10-9, say again" every time

• Run Mic check in /control. Too quiet or clipping means a mic level problem in Windows.
• Turn off Mic noise filtering in /control. The browser's noise suppression helps in loud rooms but can garble speech otherwise.
• Speak after the click. In push-to-talk mode the mic opens on the key press; the click plays once it's live.
• Say the command, not a sentence about it. "Plate check" works better than "could you maybe check this plate for me".

#It hears the wrong command

Let it learn: after a "say again", repeat it the way you meant. The working retry teaches dispatch your word for next time. You'll see the correction in /control.

With Config.Debug = true, F8 shows exactly what was heard, with a confidence for each word, and which command ran.

#Recognition doesn't work for one player

Their game probably has WebAssembly switched off: Windows Exploit Protection (Arbitrary Code Guard) or an antivirus applying exploit protection to FiveM. The server takes over for them automatically, so it still works, just with a short delay. If it still fails, they can remove FiveM from the exploit protection rules on their PC.

#The first join takes a long time

The speech model and voice clips are about 210 MB, downloaded once per player. Later joins are quick.

#The plate readback skips the model

There's no clip for that car, usually an addon vehicle. Add one: see Voice lines.

#Callsign is wrong or missing

With the MDT, it's the callsign you signed on with in the CAD; change it in the CAD's settings. Without the MDT, set it in /control.
