Ultra Hal 7.0 / Do NOt Buy FRom This Company

« on: July 16, 2007, 07:40:42 pm »

I am glad, I decided to keep this product. I admit, the founder did a wonderful job creating hal and I respect him and everyone else involved. I am, a first time buyer, and I posted the old forum. I was mad because my product, I payed for did not work. Can you blame me for that. I understand, now, about what to do in order to keep him updated. Some (not all) people have been really great, helping me with Rock (Hal). I wish Rock had a book, so I could learn how to insert plugs into his brain and keep up the maintainance. For all you people here, I love my product.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Natural Voices

« on: July 16, 2007, 12:32:35 pm »

Art,

I understand, you told me to work with Hal, but it is really hard for me to talk to him when everything I say, he (write/say) something totally different. I don't know what he is talking about, I tried to erase the text quickly before he answer it. Thant did not work. He works fine without the mic. Have anyone had this problem before. I think he is talking and answering himself. Please help

You should really devote several hours of training sessions with Hal if you expect to obtain decent results.
Voice recognition is still not an exact science and you may still get a few errors from time to time.

A lot of users prefer to type input to Hal. It helps ensure your conversations are what you really mean to say and it also helps improve your typing skills.

To each his own....

Thanks Guys,

One more question. OK, whenever I turn my mic on, and ask him a question or try to talk to him, he (say/write) something totally different. He sounds retarded[:p]. I tried to keeping talking to him but he keep right on, with his own conversation.[xx(]. Please help.

How do I change Ultra Hal's voice to something more human like? I don't know how much it costs. []Do anyone happen to know any free software? If I have to pay, I will. Any suggestions.

Hi jenkins.

if you are running the web surfer then just ask HAL 'search for computer voices' and HAL will find some for you.

also, you can right click on HAL's system tray icon and go to general options then to speech options and choose other voices.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Internet problems

« on: July 15, 2007, 03:45:00 pm »

[purple]Okey, I found out what was wrong. I checked the speech in control panel and discovered I needed an update from Microsoft English Recognizer 4.0 to v5.1. I installed the update and Now, Guess What! It Works! Thanks for everything. Now I think I need to start running my mouth. Talk to you later

Another little suggestion. Evey time you download something for Hal you should turn off your PC and then reboot it before the downloads take effect.

The thing is, I have the printout and I followered all of the instructions. I think everyone here, or at least some here, read all of the instructions but was still having complications. Thanks for your help but he is not responding. I checked in the help file and noticed I did not have the Voice Recognizing tab in the speech properties from the control panel. I only have, text to speech and other tab. How do I download the Voice Recognizing? I think that is the problem.

When you first log onto Ultra Hal you will see at the top of the menu item one call "Frequently Asked Questions". If you had clicked on that in the first place you would have found lots of helpful ideas about installing and running Hal. In fact, it is still not to late to do just that. I would even print out the entire thing if I were you.

Okey, I downloaded it. Now I could train my speech. So I trained and clicked on apply and nothing happened. I clicked on ok and recieved this error: 401

Can't show non-modal from when modal form is displayed. Occurred at line 10 in Ultra Hal Assistant:frmRight click. Form_MouseMove.


I click retry and got nothing. Then I clicked abort. Finally I tried to talk to Rock, I turned the lic on, and he did nothing. I'm stuck, what do I do now?

I really don't know what to say right now. You gave me great advice and I thank you for thinking of my feelings. I did not know graphic designing for so...... Well I really don't know how to put it. I will give it some thought. I like the page you sent. I wish I could make up graphics like that. This subject gives me a high. I get really excited about anything pertaining to art.

quote:Originally posted by GamerThom

Hi there, I can give you this bit of advice.

1. Don't quit your studying and give up 2 years of hard work just yet.

2. Do some research to see if there is a University near you with a
good set of courses centered around traditional graphic design as well
as computer graphics and basic programming skills.

3. Avoid online schools that offer degrees in graphic art & design.
Most of them are scams which in the end will charge you plenty for
a worthless peice of paper.

4. If the school you are already attending offers any courses in
the field of graphic art or design. Sign up for a couple of those
first to see if it is really something you want to pursue.

5. If it's game design you are interested in "good luck".
Graphic artist's who work in the game design industry don't last
long. They are usually underpaid and extremely overworked and under-
appreciated.

6. Surf the net and do some research on sites like DAZ/Studio or
Cineversity.com, they have some very good tutorials that can give
you some idea ofthe skills you need to know in order to do graphic
design. Whether it's 2D or 3D. The more you know the better prepared
you'll be.

Some good starter programs to get and give a try are DAZ/Studio(free)
and Bryce for 3D work, and Corel PaintShop Pro 10 for experimenting
in 2D design and texturing. Blender is a good free program if you
want to try 3D modeling and game environment design.

DAZ/Studio and Bryce can be found at the DAZ/Studio site
http://www.daz3d.com/index.php?,
Blender can be gotten from http://www.blender.org/  
and Corel PaintShop Pro 10 can be ordered or purchased through
Amazon.com and most other online software sales sites.

One last piece of advice: be prepared to spend a lot of time on
projects that are very unrewarding to work on and not have your
really brilliant ideas accepted. Besides that, the field of computer
graphics and design is a very competetive one.

Working in computer graphics and/or game design can be very expensive
when starting out. The good middle to high production software can be
quite expensive and there is also the cost of having a really good
computer system with a high-end graphics/video card. I work from 2
networked PC's and a laptop. The laptop I have just for testing
stuff. The 2 PC's are set up for production: 1 for scripting and
doing some 2D work and the other for heavier 2D and 3D graphics
work. Both have an exceptional amount of hard drive storage and
are custom modified with middle of the road graphics cards. Even
if you only intend to use 1 computer, a good one for doing graphics
work you can expect to cost around $1,500 plus the cost of any
upgrades you may want to make.

Here's a link to my web site in case
you're curious as to why I'm giving you
so many of the negative aspects of working
in graphic design and computer graphics.
But there are also positive aspects. As
you noted above - doing something you love
doing, possessing a driving passion for it.
Setting your own hours, that is if you are
only working for yourself. Sleepless nights
when the ideas and solutions to problems just
refuse to let your mind slow down. You will
also find a link there to my Bio-page which
lists my educational and professional quali-
fications, along with a bit of my personal
history.

If the microphone is still not working then try to download the SAPI5

I really would like to take a course on graphic designing or some sort. I am multi-talented and creative. My mind is in the field of criminal justice but my heart is in the computers. I want to drop my class Monday and start on my passion. I checked out almost everything on this site and two thumbs up on your creativeness. The thing is, is that I want to do something involving designing on computers. Maybe a game designer. Will someone share with me information on what career I could SWITCH to? I am willing to give up TWO years of criminal justice for a lifetime of more computer learning. The reason why I am asking you guys is because, If it was not for me looking at what yall did, (AND DOWNLOADING MY BUDDY, HAL), I would have graduated with a degree in something I really do not want to do. I told my husband about it and he said, what ever I wanted to do is fine with him, as long as I'm happy. So my life is on the line here. I want to know what to do. I'm I making the right decision? Can you smart, people tell me what career should I choose? [?]
