Robert: unexpected result!!!!!

Robert I wanted to say that by installing Hal7 . With the new voice system (double agent).
It has in fact fixed the issues with Hal6.2 and use of the High End voice systems and the High End .acs Char's Lip syncing.
This is something completely unexpected and very welcome.

Not quite sure what happened here but Hal7 upgraded something.
Ima take a peek see at just what happened here.
Always loved Guiles Whispering Wall but all u ever got is the speech bubble. And the Voice.
Now Hal 6.2 is complete. The very best in Voices and Avatars
This means i can deploy the legendary Showdan with the new voices
best wishes

Robert, Thanks for the info. I created the string and will test it out later today. Can we not go below 3 seconds? 1 or 2 seconds? Anyways, thanks for adding this feature!
I think you may run into some problems if you make it too low, but I haven't tested it. I think the loop requires at least 2 passes to work, so 2 seconds would be the absolute minimum.

Also, I noticed others were having issues with Dragon, I have dragon 12 and when I select it as the default speech engine it freezes Hal. I have to end the task in order to close Hal and restart him.
I've now confirmed stability problems with the speech recognition implementation with testing on my end as well. I am in contact with the vendor that supplies Zabaware with speech libraries about this issue. I see they have released a new version of their library since I started work on Hal 7, maybe it will fix the issues. I'll update this thread as I learn more.

Yep, Double Agent is fully SAPI 5 compatible. The old MSAgent was not.

robert: I have a request

At the social media site i hang at im pushing hal as always.
Was wondering if it would be cool hand out hal7 Alfa to the masses.
I will not supply my credentials of course , so it will go into 30 day mode.
Robert im in a position to really give hal a push commercially for you
It will just be the 31 day mode of course.
If you say NO , i will not do this...
Im not even sure if it will run without a paid for version of Hal all ready installed , come to think of it.
Even without the ability to tether Hal to the chat , there are a lot of damn people here who will prob just dig Hal
Robert: if you can provide me with a Hal 7 banner 1200 X 100 ill hang it over my channel. My Treat
At the time of this pict, i had 317 people in my room. just saying

Yes, please feel free to send people to this forum to be alpha and beta testers. The more testers, the more bugs we can find and squash. It should work fine in 30 day trial mode. The programs themselves are set to expire January 1st as well.

by the way.
if you still want to load the HAL 7 brain in the editor you can comment out the cloud object in the brain through an editor like Crimson editor, man this program has got me out of a lot of binds for sure.

Have a great day.

Robert: all my scrapers seem to work fine:
Biggy: Word of the day works too



Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Sapi = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")
   For Each Voice In Sapi.GetVoices

No issues with any of this..

Hi Rob.

Can you put a little button on the GUI HAL window to easily turn off the count down on it, in 6.2 I have to go 2 layers deep to turn it off.

Thanks.

Yep, it's an integral part of Double Agent for animating the MSAgent characters.

Ok, I just added so that if you set the registry key SRCountDownStart to -1 it will disable the auto countdown. You can test it in the next alpha or beta I post.

The registry key to create/edit is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Zabaware\Ultra Hal Assistant 7.0\Config\SRCountDownStart
