You have to use RR SDK commands in VBScript. For example,

Code:

Function NextTrack()
Set SDK = CreateObject("RoadRunner.SDK")
SDK.Execute "RRNEXT"
End Function

Then call the function NextTrack() from PowerVoice.

Any word yet from anyone on how to do the menu tree as I mentioned before? I haven't been able to figure it out, and I've tried about a million different ways. Any help 0l33l?

thanx.....
but appently i dont understand the SDK use also.....
and for sure looks like 0l33l has either given up this project or in not too keen on get people to utilise it fully ( no help from him what so ever )

Just go into powervoice config, and add that function under the rest of the code. Then go to grammar builder, make a root node with say = next and action = (just nothing for action). Then make a subnode of the root with action = NextTrack(). It took me a while to figure it out, too, but it's actually very easy. Too bad it's sort of been abandoned. I really would have liked to know how to create the tree menu.

This seems to be a dead thread, but I'll post anyway. Some help with this would be great. There is a lot of us out here that aren't programers and we need help with that part. So 0l33l, please help. From what I have read this seems to be a great program and I would love to give it a try, but without anyone to go to with questions I'm holding back.

I would love to try this but if there is no one helping answer questions that I don't think I'll jump in.
Anyone know of any other voice control software?

Hi!
Don't know if the project is still alive but I have a couple things to mention.

I think the "save" function of both grammar and config is a bit buggy.
In config the xml is not always saved and in grammar most of the times, many of the commands are deleted and I have to keep a backup of a previous edit. Now I do it manually from notepad.

On other thing I want, is to call the "hotkey name" and powervoice to respond something back. For example, if I set the hotkey name to "monica" and also add this name in grammar, speech recognition doesn't work.

And finally, powervoice cannot speak greek. Although I have a greek text-to-speech engine installed, powervoice pops a message about invalid characters pointing the greek ones.

Any update would be appreciated.

Hope this isnt dead.
Its a great concept and the app nearly has all the features you could want!

RIP Powervoice...

Here's some autoit3 code that I use to address powervoice not starting up in listening mode:

start.au3

Code:

sleep(5000)
run("PowerVoice.exe")
winwait("PowerVoice")
sleep(1000)
ControlClick ("PowerVoice","","TreeView to SAPI")
winsetstate("PowerVoice","",@SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)

the 5 second delay on start is to help avoid some directsound errors I was getting.. probably from starting SAPI before it was ready.

close.au3

Code:

winclose("PowerVoice")
winwaitclose("PowerVoice")

to address the problem with PV crapping out on suspend/hibernate-resume I added these lines to RR's ExecTBL.ini so it closes PV on suspend and reopens it on resume.

Code:

"ONSUSPEND","RUNQ;c:\progra~1\powervoice_v1\close.exe"
"ONRESUME","RUNQ;c:\progra~1\powervoice_v1\start.exe"
