I have started creating a Jarvis(similar to Rich's Jarvis) in ARC using speech recognition, pandorabot(not yet though, has a hard time with me), A fair bit of scripts, camera's(for home security, not implemented yet though), and some other things.
He can currently tell the weather, jokes, local news, and can have fights with me. Initilization:

Turns out this Jarvis fellow played many roles in the ironman franchise , Linkyhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Jarvis
Yeah I picked up my RAD around Christmas time, currently he is sat waiting for his EZ-Bification in my spare room along with a whole bunch of other 'bots. But I have a Wall-e and Melvin to sort out first, so for the foreseeable my Jarvis will be just a voice
Ok. Time for an update.
So I have the bootup done so now it's a matter of adding functionality to him through other programs.
Will post vid soon.
he will soon be able to do speech to text typing!
What voice recognition are you planning to use?
I was looking into dragon. Though I may find an alternative.
For accuracy, in as much as the accuracy you'll need for dictation you will need to use Dragon. However, DNS doesn't work with ARC out of the box and looks like it will need a lot of setting up to get it to work in ARC, it certainly wont be natively supported so no doubt will be a bit of a bugfest.
As great as ARC is, I have to say that I'm not sure it is the right tool for the job unless you specifically need to use an EZ-B within the controls. I have been looking at moving my Jarvis over to ARC using EZ-Script etc. but it's getting to be messy, still relying on other software and the ARC portion feels like it's just been thrown in there purely so it can be used (where it isn't exactly needed)... which is right since that is what I've done.
I suspect, with mine at least, the ARC portion will be dropped until I get around to adding the actual robot to it, then ARC will be controlled via other software not the other way around.
Just one man's opinion not meant to discourage you, use it however you feel necessary or disregard it
Right now im concerned with brainstorming ideas for cool features.
Wirelessly controlled outlets
Cameras
speech to text abilities
temperature reading
the ability to do math with the numbers I tell him
add a siri like feel
