i had an idea during my last meal when i talked about my robots, people asked: what do they do? me: well, i don't know really.. other ppl: interact with humans?
then the whole idea came up in my mind: let's say there's a speech-to-text module, which types the text an user says, sending it over the internet to a talk bot (cleverbot for example). then the bot returns it's text, making the ARC software look that text up and convert it into speech which goes over your speakers.
so basically it's this: you talk to the robot > ARC converts it to text, sending it to cleverbot > cleverbot responds > ARC converts it to speech and plays it.
this would be so amazing to have for people who have an animatronics head.
it would be such a nice feature
tell me what you think~

Keep us Posted. Very Interesting. . . .
From a first look (and not that long a look either) it may not be currently possible to do it the way I planned, which is the way VoxCommando uses PandoraBot for a similar function.
So, if it's not an action available, ARC needs to support the dictate function of SAPI or I need to come up with a phrase list.
This is even before checking that I can httpget to send the speech to pandora bot and httpget the response.
I'll have more time to look in to it tomorrow so before I start asking for new features in the software I'll check that they a) don't already exist and b) would be worthwhile.
