So kann beispielsweise mit dem Sprachbefehl "Close Windows" das gerade aktive Fenster geschlossen werden und mit dem Befehl "What Time is it" sagt eine Stimme die aktuelle Uhrzeit an. Besonders interessant ist an Voice Flux, dass neue Befehle nicht dem Programm extra beigebracht werden. Das Programm erkennt anhand des geschriebenen Wortes, wie es angeprochen wird und reagiert in Zukunft mit dem entsprechenden Befehl. Das Programm wird mit rund 15 vorgefertigten Befehlen ausgeliefert. Eigene Befehle können einfach programmiert werden. Leider beschränkt sich die Funktion der neuen Befehle dann aber nur auf den Aufruf von Programmen. So kann der Anwender den Befehl "Word" eingeben und dem Programm Word zuweisen. Wird in Zukunft der Befehl "Word" gegeben, startet die Software. Im Praxis-Test erwies sich die Handhabung des Programmes doch eher gewöhnungsbedürftig und sorgte für so manchen Lacher. Oft erkennt das Programm nicht den Sprach-Befehl richtig und versucht Programme zu starten, ob wohl man nur gerade eben ein Selbstgespräch geführt hat oder telefoniert, während das Mikrofon noch angeschaltet ist. ________________________________________________________________________________________________(Anbieter: Cinnamon Software - CANADA) (Task-Scheduler - Zeitansage) HP: http://www.cinnamonsoftware.com/freeware.htm PP: http://www.cinnamonsoftware.com/alarm_clock.htm DL: http://www.cinnamonsoftware.com/ac_body.htm#Download (Nov 2007) SS http://www.cinnamonsoftware.com/ac_body.htm#ScreenShots FAQ: http://www.cinnamonsoftware.com/ac_body.htm#FAQ Lets your computer remind you of important dates and events.It uses Microsoft® Agent to show a talking animated alarm.

Bots with different brains, personalities, and even different genders can be built using this architecture. ________________________________________________________________________________________________The Generation5 JDK (Anbieter: generation5 / James Matthews & Ben Wootton) (Java Development Kit) HP: http://www.generation5.org/jdk DL: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=118261 (Dec 2004 - bis 560 KB) Is part of Generation5's committment to making artificial intelligence and artificial life easy to understand and fun to explore.

(by Keith Vertanen) HP: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/kv227/speechdasher Speech Dasher Overview: Speech Dasher is a novel interface for the input of text using a combination of speech and gestures. A speech recognizer provides the initial guess of the user's desired text while a gesture-based interface allows the user to confirm and correct the recognizer's output. It is hoped that Speech Dasher will provide a text input interface which is: - More efficient - allowing faster input than either speech or gestures alone. - More fun - providing a consistent and less frustrating method of correcting speech recognition errors. - More accessible - enabling text input by people unable to use a keyboard and by those using mobile devices. Entering text using Speech Dasher begins with the user speaking their desired sentence to a continuous speech recognition engine (currently Microsoft's Speech Recognizer SDK 5.1 or Dragon Naturally Speaking 7, 8 or 9). A word lattice is generated from the recognizer's results and then expanded to cover likely recognition errors. The expanded lattice is used to estimate the probability of what letter the user might enter next based on both the recognition results and what has already been entered. The interface also seamlessly integrates a default language model, allowing the user to efficiently enter words missed completely by the recognizer. These probability estimates are then used in the continuous gestured-based interface Dasher to allow the user to confirm and correct their dictated sentence. The current research prototype is available for download below. So try it out and send me your feedback. I'm especially interested in how it could be improved for people with disabilities.

HP: http://fullmeasure.co.uk/powertalk DL: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/powertalk/PowerTalk-1.2.10.exe?download PowerTalk Automatic speech for PowerPoint presentations. PowerTalk is a free program that automatically speaks any presentation or slide show running in Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows. You just download and install PowerTalk and while you open and run the presentation as usual it speaks the text on your slides. The advantage over other generic 'Text To Speech' programs is that PowerTalk is able to speak text as it appears and can also speak hidden text attached to images. Requirements, what you must have to run PowerTalk. PowerTalk runs on Windows 98 (SE), Windows ME and Windows XP. It is expected to run on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. It is unlikely to run on Windows 95 or the initial release of Windows 98. You must have PowerPoint 2000 or later installed. Unfortunately the PowerPoint viewers are not useable as they do not provide the basic functionality that PowerTalk requires. The Microsoft Speech API 5.1 (MS SAPI 5.1) must be installed and if you have Windows XP you will already have it. For other versions of Windows you can download and install the SAPI Text To Speech (TTS) components <12MB>. This download can also be used with Windows XP and will then add 2 voices (Mike and Mary) to the single voice that is supplied with XP (Sam). To check if you have SAPI installed, look for a voice called 'Microsoft Sam' in Control Panel's Speech Settings (Start -> Control Panel -> Speech -> Text To Speech). Please note that the PowerTalk cannot use the earlier SAPI 4, although it is apparently possible to have both SAPI 4 & 5 installed on the same machine. _______________________________________________________________________________

Subliminal (Kunstwort aus dem lateinischen sub "unter" und limes "Grenze", deutsch: unterschwellig) ist ein Begriff aus der Psychologie. Er bezeichnet die unterschwellige Darbietung bzw. Wahrnehmung von Reizen. „Unterschwellig“ bedeutet, dass die Schwelle des Bewusstseins nicht überschritten wird, dass also Menschen die ihnen dargebotenen subliminalen Reize nicht bemerken oder sie zumindest nicht diskriminieren (trennen) können, sie sind dem Bewusstsein nicht zugänglich. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_(Psychologie) _______________________________________________________________________________________________... dazu bleibt mir nur noch, viel Spaß zu wünschen orc2 :mrgreen:

It uses a simple yet surprisingly well working approach to create chatbots, which do not depend on pre-fabricated knowledge. Prelude keeps all user response in its memory file. During the chat it will tag and analyze all new input and eventually query its memory file. A number of possible output sentences is pre-selected and "thought over": A nuance of free will to interfere :~) makes the program chose one among all those possible answers - et voilà! FEATURES include: - Text to speech support (TTS) - Speech recognition support (SR) - MSAgent technology support (2D/3D character animations) - No editing necessary, chatbot learns by itself - AIML import ability - Sophisticated AI and NLP based chatbot engine (Morpho-semantic sentence analysis) - Works language independant - Its free! (donations welcome) - Multiple online and offline versions available Preferable download is Prelude@# standard edition with speech recognition (SR) and speech synthesis (TTS) - the 3rd generation Prelude chatbot. ________________________________________________________________________________________________

It is able to to read aloud the written text and choose the sentences to be pronounced based upon the vocal answers of the user. It is specifically designed to quickly and directly provide the functions and improved practical usefulness that are requested by this kind of program. In the meantime, the invasiveness and resource consumption is minimal. (DSpeech does not install itself, is very light, starts in a second and doesn't write anything to the registry). Some notable features of DSpeech are: 1. Allows you to save the output as a .WAV or .MP3 file. 2. Allows you to quickly select different voices, even combine them, or juxtapose them in order to create dialogues between different voices. 3. DSpeech integrates a vocal recognition system that, through a simple script language, allows you to create interactive dialogues with the user. 4. Allows you to configure the voices in an independent way. 5. Thanks to apposite TAGs, it allows you to dynamically change the features of the voices during the playback (speed, volume and frequency), to insert pauses, emphasize specific words, or even to spell them out. 6. Allows you to capture and reproduce the content of the ClipBoard. 7. DSpeech is compatible with all vocal engines (SAPI 4-5 compliant). 8. AI dialog system. Not really useful, but amusing. It does not work in every language. Listen a sample of dialogue from DSpeech: Overview of the advanced features of DSpeech: Download DSpeech v1.55.1 (Windows NT/2000/XP/VISTA) ca 800 KB Other components you need to install To open PDF files, you must download the DSpeech PDF Plug-In (ca 250 KB).

Interface translation in other languages DSpeech interface can be translated in several languages: Italian (By Talksina & Marco Tettamanti) Spanish (By Ricardo Abad & Esteban Mello) Spanish Valencian (By Ricardo Abad) French (By Roger J.) German (I'm looking for a translator) Portuguese (By Ângelo Miguel) Brazilian Portuguese (By Antonio Cezar Locutor) Latin American Spanish (By Rafael Lopez Jr.) Japanese (By Philip Deane) Where find the Voices SAPI5 voices are the best, but unfortunately often they are not distributed for free. The most famous are Cepstral, Acapela, Loquendo, RealSpeak and Voiceware. RealSpeak: They are good voices and it seems that Microsoft will integrate them by default on Windows Vista. Italian, Spanish, French, German eSpeak: It's a new open source engine in english (good) and in other languages (average). Multilanguage SAPI4 voices, instead, have worse quality but are easier to find, and downloadable for free; the best are: L&H TrueVoice: They have a good voice sampling, but wav and MP3 conversions are very slow.
