- **************************************************************************
-
- Short: Voice Recognition (Version 5.2)
- Type: util/misc
-
- This is version 5.2 of Voice Command Line Interface (VCLI) which will
- execute CLI commands, ARexx commands, or ARexx scripts by voice command.
- VCLI allows you to launch multiple applications or control any program with
- an ARexx capability entirely by spoken voice command. VCLI is fully
- multitasking and will run in the background, continuously listening for
- your voice command. Improvements over earlier versions include the
- capability to load alternate vocabulary files by spoken voice command, a
- choice of Amiga hardware timers to reduce interference with other programs,
- and immunity of the display to changes in system fonts. The bug in VCLI51
- that affected loading of vocabulary files by voice command has been
- quashed. VCLI requires either the Perfect Sound 3, Sound Master (Sound
- Magic) or a Generic audio digitizer. AmigaDOS 2.0 is required.
-
- **************************************************************************
-
- Short: AniMan version 4.1. Speak to the talking head.
- Type: util/misc
-
- This is version 4.1 of AniMan which allows you to converse with an
- animated talking head through your audio digitizer in order to execute
- CLI commands, ARexx commands, or ARexx scripts by voice command. AniMan
- is completely multitasking and will run in the background, continuously
- listening for your voice command. With AniMan you can launch multiple
- applications or control any program with an ARexx capability by conversation
- with an animated talking head. Improvements over earler versions include
- background multitasking operation, the capability to load alternate command
- files by spoken voice command, a choice of Amiga hardware timers to reduce
- interference with other programs, and support for three audio digitizers;
- Perfect Sound 3, Sound Master (Sound Magic), and Generic digitizers.
- AniMan is compatible with NTSC and PAL. AmigaDOS 2.0 is required.
