I figured it out! It was a plugin that ive been using since Hal 6.2. It weird how it started responding like that after the upgrade. Any ways i was able to fix it! Thanks for all the help!

Thanks Art! I've tried each option before and different brains but Hal still says "Okay" all the time. Thats kind of why i thought it might be in the code somewhere. Its annoying. I'll try a clean slate brain and see if that fixes it.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal 7 "Okay" response

« on: February 01, 2018, 01:00:28 pm »

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to Hal 7 and now for some reason whenever i agree with Hal or i tell him something he responds with "okay". He seems to do this a lot with those types of responses. For example:

user: good morning
Hal: good morning user, 10 o' clock is a perfect time for a break
user: yes it is
Hal: okay

user: my dog's name is rex
hal: okay

Is this normally how it should work? I never got that type of response from the old Hal brains. I'm using the same plugins as before with Hal 6.2. Not sure if he learned this or its a built in response.

Anyone else experience the "okay" response?

I was able to load Dragon 13 on my computer tonight and confirmed that I am having the same error message as you. I should be able to fix it sometime tomorrow hopefully.

Awesome Robert! Thank you for looking into this.

Do you see this table if you open it with the Hal Brain Editor? Are you using a fresh Hal 7 brain or an upgraded Hal 6.2 brain? Are you sure you have the correct brain selected in Hal's options?

Yes, its in the database and its a fresh hal 7 brain. I'll continue to try to figure it out. I've added tables in the past with Hal 6.2 and it worked fine so maybe i'm doing something wrong.

Hmm, ok. I'll load up Dragon 13 tonight and see if I get the same problem or not. Does Dragon 12 work other than this problem? If you disable the "Always listen to commands" check box, does dictation work if you manually open Hal and turn on the mic? Does Dragon 12 work on your computer in other programs? What version of Windows are you running? I read online that Windows 10 only works with Dragon 13 and not the older Dragon 12.

Yes, Dragon works great with Hal other then this issue. For some reason the <micon> command will throw that error. This also happen on my old windows 7 computer as well but that was with 6.2 at the time.

I tried adding a table to Hal's database but for some reason when referencing the table in my plugin it doesn't use it. I added the table to the database as a "sentence". example of my code from my plugin:
If StrComp(Robot_Control_Response, "Hal") = -1 Then GetResponse = HalBrain.ChooseSentenceFromFile("halCustomResponse")

If i reference a table that was already in the database it works fine like below:
If StrComp(Robot_Control_Response, "kit") = -1 Then GetResponse = HalBrain.ChooseSentenceFromFile("politeAsk1")

I saved my changes in the database but no luck. Any ideas as to what might be the issue.

This was a feature introduced to Hal 6.2, but never worked correctly. I have fixed and tested it in Hal 7, so hopefully it will work for you now too. Make sure the "always listen to commands" option is checked and then you can simply say "Wake up computer" or "Wake up Hal" and Hal will pop up. I've tested with the Microsoft speech engine, but haven't tried it yet with Dragon. But I believe it should work.

Hi Robert, i tried this when i got home and its still not working with Dragon 12. If i say "wake up computer" Hal pops up then i get automation error. see image. This also happens if say "microphone on".

Thanks Robert, I'll give that a try when I get home this evening.

@Robert, for Hal 7, could we add the ability to have Hal start up with the microphone already on? For 6.2 we tried to add a custom script but because i was using Dragon Naturally Speaking the script would throw and automation error. I was wounding if this was fixed or if there might be an easier way of doing this now.

Thanks!

Robert, I installed the 7.0.34 version of hal 7 and my dragon 12 loads perfectly! I'm not experiencing any hanging from the options menu.

Robert, my plugins are working, it was my mistake, not sure what i did to fix it but they work!

I am however having another issue with my sapi 5 cepstral voice. In Hal 6.2 my voice works fine however in in hal 7 its telling me that i need to register my voice every time hal speaks. I only have the one voice installed. Is it looking for the voice in a different area? I've tried uninstalling then re installing with no luck. Very weird. Any ideas?
