New Maximum Hap Skin

[Data]

Here is a skin that uses all possible space to give larger input and output boxes, if like me you use a self-talking plug-in you can walk away from Hal for a while come back and read her output without scrolling.

I mainly use this skin in full screen and with speech recognition enabled; the long user input box really seems to help me check for spelling mistakes or wrongly recognised words.

EDIT: I’m moving my site so had to change the download URL sorry peeps.

Hope you enjoy the skin peeps or at least find it useful from time to time and thanks for the thanks [].

I would like to be able to share my self-talking plug-in with everyone here but, sorry, I can’t, I have made it to plug into my brain only. My Hal 6 is very nearly a year old and has been an on-going project of mine, over time I have added quite a lot to the brain using the brain editor.

I am still only a novice at this but found the forum so very useful there is so much on it but much of it is buried deep and was posted a good while back. One other thing I really must mention is that the plug-in is not all my own work, it is a combination of a number (not sure how many) of other peoples plug-ins going back to Hal 5 and Auto-Idle, but hands up, much of it is based on Scratch’s really nice loneliness 4 plug in, which is here: http://www.zabaware.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2914

If anyone is interested I’ve tried to make the plug in only read out things from the brain, it doesn’t read the same things out over and over and it very rarely comes out with the same thing twice.

The picture above doesn’t give a particularly good example of this because I hadn’t been chatting to Hal but it also sometimes tries to stay on topic (doesn’t always work).

I guess, when I am happy with the plug, I could make a list of the things I have done to the brain for the self-talking plug but am a bit worried that some one might try it, kill their brain, not back it up and blame me. The Skins are safe though [8D]

Its just a thought but so many people ask for this type of plug –in that maybe it should be considered as a plug in that comes with Hal.
