Thread: is frodo compatible with voice software?

I don't really play my music at high-volumes, but with a good mic (I use a 1/8" logitech noise-canceling mic) when its mounted close to your mouth is very good.

i was wondering way play pause and all of that didnt work, i'll try maximizing frodo

why don't use use winsock commands? 1.09 supports that, right? the whole fpwebserver thing...thats what it was all about, and it would be a much cleaner way to do it.

NaviVoice v.9 Release

Well, this has practically full Frodo support. I forgot about fixing the min/max/bug.

Supported commands:

Code:

      <p val="406">open frodo</p>
      <p val="407">close frodo</p>
      <p val="408">minimize frodo</p>
      <p val="409">restore frodo</p>
      <p val="410">maximize frodo</p>
      <p val="411">focus frodo</p>
      <p val="500">previous</p>
      <p val="501">rewind</p>
      <p val="502">play</p>
      <p val="503">stop</p>
      <p val="504">pause</p>
      <p val="505">next</p>
      <p val="506">fast foreward</p>
      <p val="507">shuffle</p>
      <p val="508">repeat</p>
      <p val="509">volume up</p>
      <p val="510">volume down</p>
      <p val="511">mute</p>
      <p val="512">playlist down</p>
      <p val="513">playlist up</p>
      <p val="514">directory down</p>
      <p val="515">directory up</p>
      <p val="516">fullscreen mode</p>
      <p val="517">mode back</p>
      <p val="518">mode foreward</p>
      <p val="519">mode change</p>
      <p val="520">visualization down</p>
      <p val="521">visualization up</p>
      <p val="522">mini mode</p>
      <p val="523">playlist select</p>
      <p val="524">volume down two</p>
      <p val="525">volume up two</p> 
      <p val="530">what is my volume</p> 
      <p val="531">is frodoplayer mute</p> 
      <p val="532">is frodoplayer plaing</p> 
      <p val="533">what is the frodoplayer mode</p>

Remeber! All of these are user configurable

And yes, this uses the windows sendmessage commands. Hats off to Kevin for making this easy to translate. VB code is just as easy to read as Delphi. I'll post the two programs to compare their complexity and give users an example of something that does the same thing written in two different languages

alrighty! any chance you could show me some of your source code by the way? i'll look to see if there are examples of getting SAPI working with VB but i'm kinda curious how its done.

I don't like VB This is 100% Delphi About as easy to code as in VB, and it runs faster

Code in VB from Frodo Commands:

Code:

        Case 1
            Select Case RemoteInfo(CLng(Index + 1))
                Case 1
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_ALBUM"
                Case 2
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_ARTIST"
                Case 3
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_GENRE"
                Case 4
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_DIRECTORY"
                Case 5
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_ALL_MUSIC"
                Case 6
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_ALL_VIDEO"
                Case 7
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_CD"
                Case 8
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_PLAYLISTS"
                Case 9
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_FAVORITES"
                Case 10
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_BBAA"
                Case 11
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "M_BBD2"
                Case 96
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "MM_DVD"
                Case 97
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "MM_FM"
                Case 98
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "MM_XM"
                Case 99
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "MM_SETTINGS"
                Case Else
                    txtFrodoInfo(Index).Text = "UNDEFINED"
                End Select

Same code in Delphi:

Code:

Case i of
    1:
                    showmessage('M_ALBUM');
    2:
                    showmessage('M_ARTIST');
    3:
                    showmessage('M_GENRE');
    4:
                    showmessage('M_DIRECTORY');
    5:
                    showmessage('M_ALL_MUSIC');
    6:
                    showmessage('M_ALL_VIDEO');
    7:
                    showmessage('M_CD');
    8:
                    showmessage('M_PLAYLISTS');
    9:
                    showmessage('M_FAVORITES');
    10:
                    showmessage('M_BBAA');
    11:
                    showmessage('M_BBD2');
    96:
                    showmessage('MM_DVD');
    97:
                    showmessage('MM_FM');
    98:
                    showmessage('MM_XM');
    99:
                    showmessage('MM_SETTINGS');
    Else
                    showmessage('UNDEFINED');
  end;

As you can see, the two languages are very similar. Remember, this is the same exact command.

you have too many function characters in yours

just kidding man, i prefer languages that are well structured like PHP as well. but ya gotta love how quick you can slap a program together in VB

EDIT: I meant FUNKY not Function

Just because a language lets you do something doesn't mean you have to.
Keeping code structured is a discipline.

*Please* try Delphi Look up the differences, and you'll see why I chose Delphi. BTW: I used to program in VB, and the only thing I can say is that I'm still trying to recover, VB promotes messy code with 'Option Explicit'.

Agreed. I thikn Delphi's code structure is good, but I find it hard to find stuff because I don't put comments next to any of my functions I have to say that your code is pretty clean

OMG, "Option Explicit" requires you to declare your variables before using.
Which you should always do.
