Playing with and against robots, I was in 3d seat, none vul, and it went P - (3H). I was 5-1-3-4 with 14 HCP.

The description of DBL was: "3-5 C; 3-5 D; 2- H; 3-4 S; 14+ total points."
The description of 3S was: "6+ S; 14-19 total points."

So following an opening 3H bid, DBL shows 3-4 spades and 3S shows 6 or more spades.

What am I supposed to bid with 5 spades? I couldn't find any bid that showed that.

You should immediately skip to the next deal. B-)

Fwiw, I overcall the 5-card major with 5-1-3-4 in your situation. Even with 5-3-1-4 I would usually overcall 3S over a 3D preempt rather than takeout.
