Hi Melanie, > I'm not so sure that Dave wasn't using viavoice. hardy har har. Or maybe ViaVoice was using Dave? > Ok, honestly, the last time I played with viaVoice (i think it was called > viaVoice then) was 1995(?) So, I guess I should give it another chance. ViaVoice has improved a lot in recent years. The linux version has improved in leaps and bounds since its first release. I did just one short enrollment session and was getting amazing accuracy from the dictation (recognition) engine. I was also blown away to find that they have example programs that operate xcalc (calulator) by voice (you say ten times three equals), and also some example code that moves windows around the sreen by voice command. > It's not on my "top ten" though - especially since people might mistake me > for being schizophrenic (Hmm... another link to the Dave jive-babble?). > Cute for avatars though. Rachel's Purse-Wearable already suffers from multiple personality disorder using the different voices. The purse greets her at boot time, then ... - papa voice says "I hope you have a great day" - baby voice says "I hope you have a great day" - mama voice says "We hope you have a great day" I was telling her about the appliance control and the eliza stuff etc and she started to look nervous. I asked her why and she said she's afraid that this purse might take over her life! > Excellent advice for the keyboard hack.
