Hello,

I'm new here. I saw a suggestion for a forum, something about a forum for quadriplegic or disabled users of speech recognition software, and I was just wondering where that was... is the forum the chat room or something else? If it's the chat room, when are you people interested in getting together? I would really like some information on Windows Vista from experienced users prospectives...

Does anyone know what speech recognition engine the home automation software (HAL2000) by automated living uses?

I began using voice recognition products around 1992 when IBM release its first voice recognition program on a commercial basis.

One of my Andrea USB pods gave up the ghost a few weeks ago, and the other has a cable that isn't in great shape. (I've used both for many years.)

Is there a way to make a small change to the vocola code to allow the Eval() function to call other python functions and modules?

Hello to all
I hope this is the right place to post this if not then sorry.
but anyway now with my question.
I just wonder if anyone might have any insight on a sound problem I didn't notice any problem when I first installed a voice command app then with in a short time after I installed it I began noticing the problem. The voice command work great in trial. In tell I went too train the Speech Recognition in Microsoft for the responding heads software and windows xp told me that the engine could not be created to choose a different engine or audio device. Which puzzled me because I could hear sound though the speakers fine and the voice command did fine with simple commands so I thought it might just be the sound drivers was the reason that I couldn't train the speech Recognition and the computer is less then four month's old so I reinstall the drivers and now the command doesn't hear a thing. Music etc I still hear fine so I than ran the microphone test in Microsoft and the bar responded to my voice but the voice bar in the speech Recognition does not respond .I looked on line for a answer to my problem only to find very little most site's just keep telling me to reinstall the sound drivers and the speech engine and to check the volume level on the microphone and make sure its not muted and to replace the UserLexicons file which I've done all of them and still no good. Oh and one last thing if I ever get it working that is how do I set it to when the computer hears my voice without it blasting my voice at me me through the speakers which I noticed that when the command app first was working kind of anyway that I could not hear my voice through the speakers and now I can I also did a Sound Recording through the windows Sound Recorder and it work so I'm now lost on what to do next to get the voice command too work?

Found this today.
