Setup Guide
Everything you need to get DartVoice working with your dartboard scoring software. Follow the steps below for X01 or Cricket.
Follow the instructions for your platform below.
Download the Installer
From your dashboard, click the Windows download button to get DartVoice_Setup.exe.
Run the Setup File
Double click the downloaded file. Windows SmartScreen may show a warning — click More Info and then Run Anyway.
Download the APK
On your phone, log into your dashboard and tap the Android download button for DartVoice.apk.
Install the file
Tap the downloaded notification. If your browser asks for permission to "Install unknown apps", tap Allow.
Grant Permissions
When you first open DartVoice on Android, it will request microphone permissions. Tap Allow so it can hear your scores.
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.
Load in Chrome
Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions. Enable Developer mode (top right toggle), click Load unpacked, and select the unzipped folder.
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.
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:
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.
X01 calibration is a single click. You're telling DartVoice where the score input box is on your scoring software.
Open your scoring software
Have your X01 game running (Target Dart Counter, Nakka, Pro Darter, etc.) with the score input field visible on screen.
Go to Settings → Calibration → "Calibrate X01 Box"
The screen will dim with a crosshair cursor.
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.
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.
Click Single 20 — top-left of the grid
This is the first cell in the cricket grid. It defines the top-left corner.
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.
Click the Submit button
The button your scoring app uses to confirm darts. DartVoice will auto-click this after entering your darts.

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.
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").
With the trigger word "score", just say your total. DartVoice accepts natural speech.
"score sixty""score one hundred""score one forty""score one oh five""score miss"Enable per-dart scoring in Settings to say each dart individually instead of the total:
"score treble twenty""score double sixteen""score single five""score bull"These work in any game mode, no trigger word needed:
"wait""new leg""enter"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""score treble nineteen""score double bull""score miss""score t20 d19 s15"Note
If you don't say a modifier, DartVoice assumes single. Saying "score twenty" is the same as "score single twenty".
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.
