Bruno Speech Recognition BETA v1.2 - Page 2

Bugbyte · 04-26-2005, 08:43 PM

How about the default is "Command recognized" and the user can make it say whatever he/she wants?

Sorry to report that the app didn't survive hibernation today! It's a little murky for me because the screen is folded close when I start the car. If it doesn't open, that may be because the computer hasn't resumed from hibernate yet or it could be because it hasn't survived hibernation.

I mucked with it a bit when I got home and it wasn't recognizing anything. Then, after I hit the edit settings and then save defaults it was working perfectly. I tried it a couple of times and then put it back to hibernate. I'll check again tomorrow morning to see if it survives sleep.

The spelling feature will be very cool. My kids often ask me to pull up specific songs while driving but I tell them I can't operate the software for searching while we're moving. Test it out in either Centrafuse or Frodoplayer to see if you can perform a search in those apps.

It would be super cool to be able to run a sequence like "Close FrodoSatX", "launch Frodoplayer", "Search", "G-R-E-E-N-D-A-Y", "Down", "Down", "Play", "Minimize", "Launch GPS".

the idea is.. you make an ini file like:

[iBug]
search=alt(s)+[spell]+{DOWN}{DOWN}}{ENTER}+[app]C:\program files\gps\gps.exe

you would say, "search, E A G L E S" then it would type Alt(s), EAGLES, down, down, enter, then open gps.

the way i have it coded now.. it will process all the command before [spell].. then wait for you to say "E A G L E S FINISHED", then it will process the commands after the [spell] tag.

As far as the response, I will have two options. One will be to respond with a phrase that is typed in by the user, and the other will be the command that was recognized. (or both at the same time)

It will work with frodo as long as frodo has hotkeys of some sort.

Thanks for the code FunkDaMonkMan

How to survive hibernation: listen for the command to hibernate/standby. Pause recognition. Then after hibernation resume recognition.

Great! v1.3 will survive hibernation as well.

Hey all, & FunkDaMonkMan

I currently have Bruno starting up when I start my carpc, but have tried everything to get it to minimize by itself at startup. I've tried a macro which automtically moves the mouse, left clicks & then it does the alt spacebar down 3 times to minimize it...with little luck. & have tried making the shorcut with "start minimized" option , but that didn't work. SO as it stands it will come up but the main choose .ini screen but it just stays there. I noticed when you click on the "?" for help that a vbSkinner by... shows up, so is that an issue with the actual skin / implementation with the frontend??

Maybe I need some vb pack installed???..not sure..

Other than that, the app is so easy to set up, (props to navivoice

, but this is for sure way easier to set up...to get winamp to play whatever group you want ..with the ease of a single line.. is great...!!

I didnt notice any one else posting on having the same prob., so maybe it's on my end....any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Peace out,
Mixmastersmike

No, as it is now, it will always start up maximized.

I will add an option to start it minimized.

v1.3 will have a settings menu because I am getting more and more of them.

I have just finished the spelling feature, and it works nicely.
Give me a couple days to have everything finished and tested.

Thanks,
Josh

voiceflux

for the people who also want to try something else

Bugbyte · 05-01-2005, 10:16 AM

Yeah, minimize to system tray would be a great option. Once it survives hibernation, you ought not to have to mess with it directly unless you are adding or changing commands...and I'll put a voice command in to maximize it anyhow!

mixmastersmike · 05-01-2005, 12:26 PM

Cool, eagerly waiting for the updated version..

Not sure if this will help/work (or if you allready knew how to implement the minimize function)

object.MinimizedToBar [= true]

I think is the vb entry to get it to minimize.

Peace out,
Mixmastersmike

FunkDaMonkMan · 05-01-2005, 01:55 PM

I'll just use frmMain.setwindowstate = vbminimized
and save that value in the settings INI file.

Talkback and the new settings layout are almost finished.

FunkDaMonkMan · 05-01-2005, 06:32 PM

Finished.

I'll have it out tonight.

Bugbyte · 05-01-2005, 06:48 PM

Great! I'll be checking back for it!

FunkDaMonkMan · 05-01-2005, 10:19 PM

sorry... i ment tomorrow.

I ran into a few errors.

Everything runs great when I run the program within VB though, so i'm enjoying it

'sokay! I've been s-l-o-w-l-y coding and applescript front end for my upcoming Mac Mini install and I know how the details can set you back. Thanks for your work.

BTW, you might want to check out Frodo's new services announcement.
