Setup Guide

CALIBRATION & VOICE COMMANDS

Everything you need to get DartVoice working with your dartboard scoring software. Follow the steps below for X01 or Cricket.

1. INSTALL APP

Follow the instructions for your platform below.

Windows

1

Download the Installer

From your dashboard, click the Windows download button to get DartVoice_Setup.exe.

2

Run the Setup File

Double click the downloaded file. Windows SmartScreen may show a warning — click More Info and then Run Anyway.

Android

1

Download the APK

On your phone, log into your dashboard and tap the Android download button for DartVoice.apk.

2

Install the file

Tap the downloaded notification. If your browser asks for permission to "Install unknown apps", tap Allow.

3

Grant Permissions

When you first open DartVoice on Android, it will request microphone permissions. Tap Allow so it can hear your scores.

Chrome Extension

1

Download the extension

Click the Chrome Extension button on your dashboard to download dartvoice-extension.zip. Unzip it to a permanent folder on your PC.

2

Load in Chrome

Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions. Enable Developer mode (top right toggle), click Load unpacked, and select the unzipped folder.

3

Pin it to your toolbar

Click the puzzle piece icon in the top right of Chrome, find DartVoice, and click the pin icon so it's always accessible.

2. FIRST LAUNCH

After installing DartVoice, launch the app. You'll see the main Command Center window with a large Start Listening button.

Before you can start scoring, you need to do two things:

  1. Select your microphone
  2. Calibrate DartVoice to your scoring software (X01 or Cricket)

Open Settings (gear icon, top right) to access both. Calibration only needs to be done once — your settings are saved automatically.

Recommended Software

DartVoice is optimized to seamlessly automate Target Dart Counter. While it works with others, we recommend having Dart Counter open before moving to the next step!

Important

Make sure your dartboard scoring software (e.g. Target Dart Counter, Nakka, Pro Darter, DartConnect) is open and visible on screen before you calibrate. DartVoice needs to know where to click.

3. X01 CALIBRATION

X01 calibration is a single click. You're telling DartVoice where the score input box is on your scoring software.

1

Open your scoring software

Have your X01 game running (Target Dart Counter, Nakka, Pro Darter, etc.) with the score input field visible on screen.

2

Go to Settings → Calibration → "Calibrate X01 Box"

The screen will dim with a crosshair cursor.

3

Click the score input box

Click directly on the text field where you normally type your score. DartVoice saves the position and will click there automatically when you call a score.

That's it for X01. One click and you're done.

4. CRICKET CALIBRATION

Cricket requires 3 clicks to map out the scoring grid. DartVoice calculates all 21 cell positions from just two reference points plus the submit button.

1

Click Single 20 — top-left of the grid

This is the first cell in the cricket grid. It defines the top-left corner.

2

Click Treble 15 — bottom-right of the numbers area

This defines the grid spacing. DartVoice uses the distance between this and Single 20 to calculate where every other cell is.

3

Click the Submit button

The button your scoring app uses to confirm darts. DartVoice will auto-click this after entering your darts.

Cricket Scoring Grid
Single Double Treble
20
1
19
18
17
16
15
2
Bull
3 Submit

Tip

If clicks are landing slightly off, use the Grid Offset sliders in Settings → Cricket Settings to fine-tune the X and Y offset without recalibrating.

5. MICROPHONE SETUP

Go to Settings → Microphone → Select Microphone. DartVoice will list all available input devices on your system.

Pick the mic you want to use. A good quality headset mic or a lapel mic works best — it reduces background noise and lets you speak at a normal volume.

Tip

If you're in a noisy environment (pub, league night), enable Require trigger word in settings. This means DartVoice will only process speech that starts with your trigger word (default: "score").

6. X01 VOICE COMMANDS

With the trigger word "score", just say your total. DartVoice accepts natural speech.

You say
DartVoice enters
"score sixty"
60
"score one hundred"
100
"score one forty"
140
"score one oh five"
105
"score miss"
0

Per-Dart Mode

Enable per-dart scoring in Settings to say each dart individually instead of the total:

"score treble twenty"
T20 (60 pts)
"score double sixteen"
D16 (32 pts)
"score single five"
5 (5 pts)
"score bull"
Bull (50 pts)

Universal Commands

These work in any game mode, no trigger word needed:

"wait"
Undo last dart/score
"new leg"
Reset for new leg
"enter"
Press submit/enter

7. CRICKET VOICE COMMANDS

In Cricket mode, say the modifier (single/double/treble) followed by the target number. You can call 1 to 3 darts at once.

"score twenty"
Single 20
"score treble nineteen"
Treble 19
"score double bull"
Double Bullseye
"score miss"
Miss (skipped)
"score t20 d19 s15"
3 darts (shorthand)

Note

If you don't say a modifier, DartVoice assumes single. Saying "score twenty" is the same as "score single twenty".

8. CRICKET SETTINGS

These settings are found in Settings → Cricket Settings and let you fine-tune how Cricket mode works.

Grid Offset X / Y

Adjust the horizontal and vertical offset (in pixels) if clicks are landing slightly off target. Use this to fine-tune without recalibrating from scratch. Range: −50 to +50 pixels.

Click Delay

Extra delay (in milliseconds) between each cell click. Increase this if your scoring software needs more time to register clicks. Default: 0ms.

Auto-Submit

When enabled, DartVoice automatically clicks the Submit button after entering your darts. Disable if you want to review before submitting.

Include Bull Row

Some scoring apps have 6 rows (20–15) instead of 7 (20–15 + Bull). Disable this if your cricket grid doesn't include a Bull row — DartVoice will calculate the grid with 6 rows instead of 7.

9. TROUBLESHOOTING

DartVoice isn't hearing me

  • • Check that the correct microphone is selected in Settings
  • • Make sure no other app is using the mic exclusively
  • • Speak clearly and at a normal volume — you don't need to shout
  • • Try disabling "Require trigger word" temporarily to test

Clicks are landing in the wrong place

  • • Re-run the calibration wizard — your window may have moved
  • • For Cricket, use the Grid Offset sliders to fine-tune
  • • Make sure your display scaling is at 100% (Windows Settings → Display → Scale)
  • • Don't move or resize your scoring software after calibrating

Voice recognition is inaccurate

  • • Use a headset or close-range mic to reduce ambient noise
  • • Try the shorthand format: "t20" instead of "treble twenty"
  • • Adjust the Typing Speed — "Slow" gives more time between actions
