@Richard R the voice part is in my plan but that will be a few updates down the road as it will be a lot harder for the EZ Staff to implement

@d.cochran the thing is im trying to keep it as part of ARC it self and not an add on many of the users only know how to work with ARC and don't wish to use other add ons I for one have no clue how to use the add ons and don't understand the C# , C+ or any of that other stuff I have looked at the sdk files and all they do is hurt my poor little brain lol the feature im asking for will be really ez for some one at ez-robot to implement maybe even take only a few minutes to add from what ive seen sofare but im in no rush for it If you or others want to play with the idea your selves then by all means have at it

In the mean time I have lots of other stuff to mess with as I still need to learn to script in ARC to learn how to create my supporting scripts for what I want to do I can do an addon in mirc that will send the info to ARC over telnet that I could do in less than 10 minutes but im trying to not script in that any more but will probably have to do some stuff on it for testing other scripts I want to mess with but for now im trying to just learn ARC enough to not have to constantly look up every code over and over and over lol im a slow learner and have meager learning disabilities but I never give it

I just wish I could learn to type and spell correctly lol

@Rich one little problem I found with Pandoras Bot it the computer has to be online for it to work and with my bad internet connection im hardly ever online just in the time it took me to type this post I went offline 5 times don't even know if I will be on long enough to post this many many times when I go to post I hit send and poof im offline completely its been driving me nuts lol

@Wolfie, I don't think so... We already have speech recognition panel, so the hard work is already done....... It would just be a matter of implementing a new control... I am sure DJ does this stuff in his sleep.... Nevertheless it is a good idea and if it ever gets implemented... bonus to already the most powerful robotic software in the world...

I really hope im making sense and not offending anyone as that's the one thing I never want to do I do understand that I have really poor communication skills I know that some times ppl take what I say the wrong way so please don't any one ever get offended by my lack of communication skills

A) You don't have poor communication skills and you make perfect sense B) You Haven't offended anyone....

Dude, you have a good idea... Roll with it...

Dictation for voice is extremely poor. The accuracy is very low and the results are sub standard. Even with Jarvis I don't actually use dictation for the most part but a whole bunch of payload files with keywords in them which are automatically updated by other applications, these scan web pages, documents and meta tags in video and music files to make a range of lists which are used to simulate dictation but with a much higher accuracy. I do use dictation however it is used in such a way that if the spoken word is below a set accuracy or isn't recognised it then changes to dictation, Jarvis asks what was said for confirmation (i.e. "Do you want to add coffee to the dictionary?") and a simple yes or no to confirm the addition of the word.

Unless you have a very good mic, a voice profile that has been trained for months on end, an accent free, clear, news anchor style voice you will have results that do not meet the standards you want.

I'm sure dictation can be added to the speech controls, it is part of Pandora Bots after all, however the lack of addition despite the question coming up pretty often tells me it's not something that's seen as a good idea.

You are better off using a phrase list (albeit a very big one). It will be a lot quicker to write a phrase list with every known response to specific questions (i.e. a phrase list containing every first name you could think of) than it would be to increase accuracy of a poor quality mic & voice profile.

I hope that I didn't come off as offended I am not at all. I was just a work (lucky enough to work from the house) so I had a couple of things going on.

I think the idea is a really good one. I started messing with the example and then my mind kept going back to the SQL database update one that I wanted to build. For me, it would be cool if a bot remembered what someone did during the last game and adjusted based on the last moves that the person made (chess example). To do this, you would have to store the data for extended periods of time and the perfect solution for that is to use a database of some sort. Your example (like many others in this community) made me think of a better way to do something else that I wanted to do anyway.

I completely understand why you would want it to be a part of the app and I agree. It becomes pretty easy to add to the app when a majority of the development has been completed and EZ-Robot can take what has been done and put it into ez-robot. That was my motivation in starting on it, but I got sidetracked with my eagerness to start on the database component. When I am done with this, and if they haven't gotten to it yet, I will jump on it.

Gonna go put my head back in the sand and code for a bit. My wife hates it when I do that because everything goes on around me without me even noticing, while i pound on the keyboard. I love it

@Rich... ? Ok I admit, I am a bit daft... But, we're only talking about one maybe two words?... I can already dictate into a word doc using voice recognition... Why would this be any different? I say the word "red" voice rec saves "red" to my variable?
