The microphone on my laptop is absolutely terrible - it's probably the worst microphone ever made. Which is sad, because it's a serious power-house of a laptop, but they cheaped out on the mic. Or, perhaps they simply forgot to put a microphone in mine, and instead there's an old carrot in its place.
Anyway, using Google Speech is actually a little better on my laptop than the Windows speech recognition. It's still not perfect, but that's most likely due to my carrot.
Im fairly certain i will not sleep tonight. Just coffee and good conversation lol Thats how great this is! Ok ive kinda said that already but wow, what a terrific implementation. This has been my goal since the very first thought of building a robot and a half dozen arduinos, several beaglebones, 2 raspberry pi's, a ton of time, effort, and study later on this very evening it has been achieved finally to my satisfaction with 1 Ezb! Did i say wow yet 'cuz WOW!
Thank you, Mr. Sures. This effort by you and your team has spoke volumes to me regarding the importance of your users needs, to you. You've managed to make a cynical consumer who questions everything, a customer...better yet a fan and ezb user for life. Is that better than a customer? lol i think it is. I will indeed, spread the word.
@fxrtst Speaking of Alan, when is he going to be available to purchase? I assume that is still the plan? I think someone mentioned you were going to offer the stl files to purchase? That would be super. Its a beautiful creation and i would love to try my hand at making one.
oh happy day.

I updated the Google Speech plugin to include a variable and script, so you can connect it to the PandoraBot control. Details are included in the plugin here: https://synthiam.com/redirect/legacy?table=plugin&id=176
My carrot is working better as well and fantastic with better external mic. Inmoov is alive! He 's chatting my ear off
this is exciting stuff.

Well I'm super excited to try pandorabot with Alan now. I kinda gave up but this should reinvigorate me... until the 60 days runs out :/
I don't think it'll be very costly to pay for google speech for individuals.
60 Minutes per month is free, even after the 60 days.
And on top of that, it's $0.006 per minute.
So $20 will give you 3,333 minutes - not terrible
Oh, i should add - that's the reason why there is a RECORD button, rather than always recording. It will help keep the cost down (and bandwidth).
Yep pretty reasonable.
