Integrated voice control in RR...

Can't get it to start. What is wrong with this message?

Looks like you don't have all the files in the Road Runner directory. I get that error when the .cfg files are not there.

Let me know

Extracted all files into Road Runner, it's working now.
Thanks
BTW is there a way to shorten the pause after a command when playing a song?

**Mattkins99** · 01-28-2006, 11:32 AM

two things

One, when I tell the system to "stop listening" with the main window hidden, how do I get it to start listening again without closing road runner and relaunching it again? Is there a button command we can put in our skins to toggle the Mic on/off?

Just to give a suggestion. Could at dictate function be added? I mean if I say "Computer Dictate............" and then it just writes what it hears into fields. I know windows nativly supports this, but I haven't seen someone write an application to support this. I'd love to embed something like trillian into RR and then be able to use IM Chat programs.

Hey whodwho would it be possible to add a hotkey to act as the keyword that will pause music in RR and cause your program to start listening for commands, also if the same key is pressed while its listening for commands, listening will be canceled and music will resume. This way those of us with steering wheel controls dont have to use a spoken keyword to activate your program.

Cool glad it works, I exposed the time in the ini file as PauseTimeout. - not in current version(tho it should of been...an oversight...

). This is the feedback I needed before I submit it again. Thanks

I did set it up for a button use 'MIC' it will toggle on/off - this is in the current version

FYI, there are also indicators you can add for mic on/off (mic_enabled), listening for keyword (onKeyword) and listening for command (onCommand)

I mentioned this a couple posts up, I would like to add it, I think it would be good for quick notes and free form text input but maybe challanging...this one I will have to work on for a bit.

it was on my list and should not be too difficult, it would need to be a key like F12 and not a button within a skin, correct?

Yeah, a key like F12 would be great. I will be looking foward to trying it out

On my system Whodwho's software always paused music when it heard "computer"

Great idea! This would be great instead of "computer"! Button pressed, it pauses RR, and listens for keyword, and maybe after the command RR resumes. If you want to execute another keyword, another hotkey press...

Ther is a feature "system mic on/off". Thing is it work turning it off, but you can't really turn it on, only by actually pressing "mic on"...

This would definatly be easier the way Kalt suggested with a hotkey.

**Mattkins99** · 01-28-2006, 05:03 PM

Actually, I think for those of us who have steering wheel controls, we're good. Map a button on the steering wheel to turn the mic on and off, and then set in the INI to constantly be listening for commands. When you want to give the system a command, unmute the mic, say what you want, and then mute it again.
