Operation Status displays "Alert" 3) The user can say his word in between the kept Speech Sampling Time(Recording Time)If he does'nt then VoiceAction Loops back to start again (but no wave announcement is made)This is done to conserve memory and be extremely light weight on your program 4) What if speaks exactly on the edge of looping, well in that case, VoiceAction announces the starting wave again. That is the machines 'Pardon?' Hard luck the user has to repeat the word. This can be easily avoided by keeping a longer Speech Sampling time like above 20000. Also this is natural and human can easily adopt to repeating a word as we often do it during our conversations. 5) If he says in synchronization (serious users) then the speech IS captured and processed as per the kept Sample Processing Resolution. Operation Status displays "Processing...".More is the Sample Processing Resolution less is the processing time less is the accuracy.Lesser the Sample Processing Resolution more the time high the accuracy. This entirely depends on the speed of your machine and also the type and number of words you want to recognize. As example , when it comes to YES /No only keep SPR High. When it comes to Edit, Delete keep it low 200 see example REMOTE INSTRUMENT CONTROL. Yes / No get processed fast but for one two three it takes a bit longer time. 6) After the processing is over the result is available through various ways like WORDS_I_WANT or LANGUAGE EDITOR Platinum word. 7) Now the Operation Status displays "Finish", again a wave announcement of the file in path to Play_this_file_Start is made. Get the KEY idea..that is if you say /Hi/ and if the Platinum_Wordno1 shows "Hi" too then you just have to change a name (or even path )to point to a different wave file which says "You said Hi, O.K Hello user". SEE all of our examples. 8) The Operation Staus again displays "Alert" and VoiceAction is ready to hear your next word 9) ALL THIS ( 1-7 STEPs above)usually consumes ONE SECOND or TWO SECONDS on a 350 MHz Machine Hence we recommend you this interface which is extremely innovative, attractive ,genuinely interactive and also consumes less of all and everything. <big>As the processors now are faster, its like you speak and it writes and tells back what is going on and what you must do next . Good Isn't it?.</big> If you still feel to have a different kind of interface just e-mail to urlabs@pn2.vsnl.net.in we will give you as you desire it. Also due to the very nature of the Interface ,if you tend to get frustrated to hear /Start/ after every word, well, use your common sense and remove the wave from the path or change the wave to a different one. How about a guitar chord or a instrumental ting? </body> </html>
