-This feature relies on Microsoft Azure's speech-to-text service. Unfortunately, it is not a free service however it is relatively cheap! It costs approximately one dollar for each hour of dialogue. This does not mean two hours of racing costs you $2 for speech-to-text services. The service is used only when people are actually talking - so if nobody says a word the entire race then you pay nothing.

+===== Audio Device =====
+This is the audio device that you want the speech-to-text service to listen to for voice chatter. Ideally you want to send **clear** voice signal to the service, without any of the engine or other racing sounds. The easiest way to do this would be to download and install an app called "VB-CABLE Virtual Audio Device". After you do that, the device to select here would be "CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)".

 This is either "Key 1" or "Key 2" (it does not matter) from Microsoft Azure's "Keys and Endpoint" page. Please take a look at the image at the right for an example of what to look for.

 ===== Language =====
-This is the language that drivers in your race would normally be speaking. Unfortunately you can only pick one language - the service is not capable of detecting multiple languages at the same time. By default this is set to be en-US which means "American English".

 For example, for "British English" you would enter "en-GB" here. For French you would enter "fr-FR" here. For Dutch you would enter "nl-NL" here. You get the idea.
