2002 and Microslop cant get voice recognition and speech synthesis as standard component in an install to work like it does on other computer platforms.
maybe a deregulated market place of sound cards did them in.
Who knows there are way better solutions then what they try to force feed you as state of the art.
LMAO
haha
DB1 had some speech commands ready to go but wasnt completed so i heard.
Most of DBs access to speech is reliant on Microsoft Speech Components, unless Lee can find a free licence speech synthesis lying around.
Macs on the other hand, you know its a million times better than anything ive tried on the pc and without 3rd party crap, its in the OS itself.
Dragon dictate on the pc did a funny thing once and recorded the dogs barking, it came out as "and and the the"
After I spent a few hours talking to myself so the computer would know it was me.
After a few attempts I stopped sounding so robotic and just read as I would then it crapped out.
Seems talking like a robot to your pc voice synthesis makes it handle your accent better. pffff thats lame also.
Voice recognition and speech synthesis are all part of the Mac OS from like 7.5.3 we are talking early 1990's.
The mac system doesnt make u say anything to get started nor needs you to recite a paragraph from any novel to know what your voice is like.
You can trigger complicated questions also to return a result.
EG:
what time is it?
is file sharing active?
Did I get any emails?
Its irrelevent of the language also, If u install a spanish mac OS it can decipher spanish just like english.
MS have a long way to go to impress me with there crappy voice functions compared to others I have the opportunity to play with that work out of the box.
