Will Cosgrove Releases REALbasic plugin for Speech Recognition
Will Cosgrove is pleased to announce his latest REALbasic plugin which
allows REALbasic to use Speech Recognition. It doesn't do anything fancy
like paths and multiple language models, but it's really easy to use and
should cover most users demands. His plug-in works with Speech Manager 1.5
or higher in PPC and Carbon applications.
A couple highlights of this plug-in are:
- It uses all the speech feedback methods to allow you to customize your
speech responses.
- It allows you to install speech help in the Speech Command window under
Mac OS X which, up to this point, is an undocumented feature.
You can download it at:

Registration is a whopping $5 simply to fund continued development of it
and other REALbasic classes and plug-ins. Enjoy!
Cheers,

Precision Plugin 1.5 for REALbasic, now with x86 support
Version 1.5 of the Precision Plugin now has x86 support. So it can be used
in the construction of REALbasic applications for Mac OS 9.x, Mac OS X, and
Windows.
Bob Delaney is releasing his freeware Precision Plugin. It allows
mathematical operations on very large numbers. It is a light version of his
MPCalc plugin, but is not based on an RPN calculator interface. Rather it
is more like C in its behavior. As an example, here's how you would divide
two very large numbers at a precision of 20. The first argument number is
divided by the second.
dim result As String
MPLsetPrecision 20
result=MPLdiv("1.234567e2538", "5.6789e1234")
You would find in result the string:
2.1739544630122030675e1303
You can do an MPLSetPrecision up to 30000. Of course, computations go
slowly at large precisions.
Precision Plugin has almost all the REALbasic functions, but at much higher
precisions. It also has flow control functions for looping. And functions
can be nested. There is extensive checking of inputs...

You can now play Video CDs on OS X! Mireth Technology has released version
