- Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.amiga.misc/Speech-Recogniser-Uploaded-VCLI-v5-1
-
- I have just uploaded the latest version of Richard Horne's voice command
- system for the amiga to the following ftp sites:
-
- wuarchive.wustl.edu : systems/amiga/incoming/audio
- and amiga.physik.unizh.ch : amiga/new (whence it should eventually
- move to amiga/util/misc)
-
- The wuarchive directory also contains AniMan, which uses the same
- library, but has a less recent version of it than VCLI 5.1 (so use the
- VCLI 5.1 version).
-
- A couple of hints: Make sure that you have set binary mode in ftp when
- you get these files (this is
- the most frequent cause of complaints that the .lha archive is corrupt).
- Make sure that you flush libraries (avail flush) after installing the
- voice.library, or reboot, before running VCLI 5.1 the first time.
-
- VCLI is a must have piece of software for anyone interested in speech
- recognition. It also makes for great demos (you can use it to tell
- prodraw to make a blue circle, for example). It's even a quite useful
- tool (I use it to page through my mail, by having it send arexx commands
- to the VLT terminal program). Don't get it unless you have an audio
- digitiser (but they are cheap, and well worth getting).
-
- Following is the readme file:
-
- Short: Voice Command Recognition V5.1
- Type: util/misc
-
- This is version 5.1 of Richard Horne's Voice Recognition
- Software. It allows you to control amiga applications by
- speaking to the machine. It runs in the background and is
- multitasking friendly. Since it works by template matching,
- it is not restricted to any particular language.
-
- VCLI51.lha contains VCLI (5.1) and voice.library (6.3)
-
- This is a list of new features which was sent to me by its
- author (RHorne@cup.portal.com):
-
- 1. I've added an option to select CIAB Timer A or Timer B.
- I've had reports that Timer B conflicts with some other
- programs (AirLink in particular).
-
- 2. I've added an option to load altenate command files
- by voice command rather that having to return to Information
- to make a menu selection.
-
- 3. I've added an option to turn off VCLI's spoken confirmation
- of commands.
-
- 4. The command file now stores the entire VCLI configuration
- including Sampler, Timer, Confirmation, Output, Resolution, and
- Scope Display mode.
-
- 5. I've made a few changes in voice.library to make it
- more bullet proof. ...
-
- 6. And finally, I've fixed the font problem. ... I have made
- the VCLI display immune to selection of other system fonts.
