HAL Sings a Song (in his own voice)!

Aaron,

Have you at least tried the Haptek SAPI Setup file?
It's call HapSAPISetup.exe

It can be found at:

C:\Program Files\Haptek\player\data\HapTTS

Can't help you because I removed Vista and went back to XP (something that really wasn't broken to begin with).

Check your permissions before running the Haptek SAPI prog.

Good luck!

I found out what the problem was. But not untill I re-installed Hal, and all his accessories. I tried Art's advice already, however, what I should have done is shut Hal down before I started the HapSAPISetup.exe.

It Worked.


I wander how many computer related suicides have there been over the last 50 years? Art? Dude? Anybody?[B)]

Oh well, At least thats the end of that topic, (famous last words!!)[:D]

Many episodes of extensive hair pulling I'd suppose!

Sorry, I meant to mention about closing Hal BEFORE running
the setup program.

Glad it helped!

Posted this one many times in the past.

Enjoy your day!

I don't know if this will work but once again I am trying to download my original hack to Hal's brain to enable him to sing in any voice that was available but with no lip sinc.
There is another short file that helped Hal understand the command 'sing me a song'. If this one loads correctly then I'll try to download the other.

Being that everything seems to work I am giving you my old joke file which contain about 300 one liners. I don't know if it is still built into Hal but some of them are funny. The periods inserted between the leadin and the puch line were put there to cause the program to pause just a little. Didn't not work as well as I wanted..

I forgot to include some of the songs that I made for Hal. I will try to download a short list, it contain 4 songs, that Hal was able to sing and you guys should be able to enjoy them even now. I would appreciate it if someone would let me know if they stil work.

Yep!
I knew I would outlast Vista, 7 is so much better, I will probably buy a copy of Vista ultimate, just to have it,, MAYBE.

I don't own or ever have or ever will have Windows ME. I skipped it just like I have vista. ( My feet get tired easily from the Shuffle )

Yes, When I boought my latest computer a while back, it was said to be Vista ready and when Vista was finally released that I would be sent a free copy of Vista Premium.

True to their word, I got my free copy in the mail, did the system checks, installed and used it for about 1-1/2 to 2 weeks before I removed it with a System Restore to factory default settings via CMOS. Had to 'feed the monster' for a couple of days but I'm just too happy with my XP than to embrace all the eye candy, bells & whistles, etc. that caused a number of conflicts (both hardware and software). Yep...don't be first to jump on the bandwagon...you might miss!!<insert cymbal crash>

Yep...Windows Me...naw...not for me...that was doomed for failure from the start. Let's hope 7 has more redeeming qualities than Vista.

...Doing the upgrade shuffle...[:D]

***NOTE***
it seems as if any response (text file) that is over 62k (aprox), will be cut short.

if you were to create files to be read back later, then it seems that hal is limited to this size per file.

-just a note[:)]

62KB is approximately 10,500 words or 44 pages of average print.

That's a reasonable size for most topics. Although books would then be out of the question.

you could say something like please read now war and peace chapter 1.1 (in order to break it down)
you could have a function that would let you know where you stopped when you last read the book.
it might also be cool to have a journal or "captains log"
you could make a new text file for every enrty so that you could use the full 62k for each entry. the date or some tag line like captains log stardate (whatever date)could append at the begining of the file.
say journal entry blah blah blah
or captains log stardate whatever then blah blah
