Thread: Voice activated navigation for routis!

I cant wait to try it this weekend.

Let me ask though because I havent seen it talked about. Once I install SAPI, this program automatically works?

Do I have to turn voice recognition on in XP anywhere? Do I have to train it? I've never used a mic on my PC before so forgive the ignorant questions.

I'm not 100% if this was mentioned or not but how about a command that will switch apps (sorta like an ALT+TAB in Windows). So if I'm in routis I can say "switch application" and it goes over to FrodoPlayer. Then in FrodoPlayer you can program the Key Shortcuts and use your program in that too (to advance songs, volume, etc). Your program just sends keystrokes right? So wouldn't this work in that?

And like I said.. Your program friggin rox dude!

Switch apps is interesting Instead of doing API I could maybe do sendkeys to the desktop Yeh, saying enter after every number does suck, so that's why I'm going to try to add the listen function. I'm also going to make it user configurable

You have to install SAPI and then train it. The voice recognition turns on in windows, but is not automoatically on at startup unless a program is actaully going to be useing it (RoutisVoice).

So about that message that someone posted about there being a newer SAPI in Office 2003 (I think that's what he said)... Is that available anywhere to download? He said it worked better then 5...

This is what I'm doing in my "appActivate" rule. VB.net has AppActivate() function which makes it easy.

      4: voicedown;
      5: exitnavigation;
      6: startroutis;
      7: quitroutis;
      8: enterdestination;
      9: sendtoroutis('A', 9);
      10: sendtoroutis('B', 10);
      11: sendtoroutis('C', 11);
      12: sendtoroutis('D', 12);
      13: sendtoroutis('E', 13);
      14: sendtoroutis('F', 14);

That's basically some of the code, the rest just goes on like that. What would I need to separate the sendtoroutis command (the send letters)?

In your call to sendtoroutis, instead of hardcoding the letter value, you can look up the property value for a different semantic property. I'm not that familiar with Delphi or how SAPI is called in that environment, but it'd be similar to your

Code:

GetPropValue(Result, ['chosencolour', 'colourvalue'])

. Perhaps it would look like

Code:

GetPropValue(Result, ['chosencolour', 'keysToSend'])

Does that make any sense? I can show you more precisely in C++, but I bet that's not at all like Delphi. :-)

Cool. Where you'd get that? From the speech server sdk?

That was me. The SR engine is newer. It is better. Quite a bit better. It's not currently downloadable for redistribution. It is, however, contained in the speech server sdk, I believe.

It looks like I do have the 6.1 installed (also the 5.1). I installed Outlook 2003 so that must of added it. I would like to put it on my CarPC w/out loading office though...

I think I got it from Office 03' How would the code look in the XML file??

Thanks
