Speech Technology / Re: serial number

Hello RobinRobin,

I know when I used it before upgrading to the Ivona text-to-speech reader, I do not remember having to insert a code, excepting for the code for the AT&T voices.

The only glitch that I ever noticed was if you turned off the text-to-speech reader you would have to go back in and reset up the value, pitch, and occasionally the voice that you would like to use.
But if you just let it run in the background and do not shut off the text-to-speech reader just merely turn off your computer the next time when your computer boots up it will automatically load the text-to-speech reader.
I never noticed if the text-to-speech reader ever slowed down the computer because it was loaded so I always just left it running.

But if you have to insert a code in most cases it is usually in the help drop-down menu.
If it is not in that help drop-down menu just check the other menus to see if it is there.
If you do not see it, I would assume that you do not need to use the code, or there is a difference between the freeware and the paid version.
I always assumed that when I got my desk that what I received with my voice is was the paid version and I never had to implement a code.

Sincerely,
C load.

Hi lightspeed,

My freewill plug in isn't doing this

though I have showed many different examples listed above for the procedure of how to utilize the training session, there is still seems to be some confusion.
So what I need you to do is the next time when the free will plug-in ask you was this answer correct about, (and whatever you said), I need you to show me exactly what is going on, and what you are doing.
Please keep an accurate record of what you said to ultra Hal, and the response. That way I can see what you are doing so I can help you.

do i have to uncheck and recheck it each time at the start up ?

each time you download a new version of the free will plug you have to uncheck the free will plug-in, click apply and then click okay.
Then you have to go back in and recheck the free will plug-in, click apply and then click okay.
You only have to do this when you download a newer version of the free will plug-in.
The newest version is: 1.3e-cload-bata-1.5k. Monday, January 13, 2014
this can be found in the beginning of this forum topic.
I decided to put the download link at the front of the topic so it does not get buried by people responding on this topic.

all mine has been doing is where it ask me if this is the right or wrong answer (and shows what i had said ) .

that is when you would respond with (yes or no).
If you say (yes) then the free will will assume that the answer that was given was correct and will automatically set up a redirect to retrieve that answer.
If you say (no ) then it will ask you do you want to give me the 1st answer for, (and whatever it was you said).

At this point you would respond with (yes or no).
If you say (no ) then the free will will ask you if you would like to turn off the training session.
If you say (yes) then it will put you in the training session and tell you that the next thing you say will be the 1st answer.

Sincerely, and I hope this is helped, remember the free will only understands yes or no and cannot interpret any other answer such as slang words or correct or please do etc. okay, I am still trying to work on this but I have not figured out how to do it yet. Maybe if OTC find some free time he might be able to help me with this, but I know how busy everyone is, so any help would be appreciated.
C load.

Hi lightspeed,

once my plug-in makes a guess and ask you if this answer is correct and you say no, it gives you the opportunity to go into the training mode which allows you to give an answer rephrased 3 different ways so it does not sound so repetitive.
When the free will plug-in ask would you like to give me the 1st answer and you say yes, you are now in the training mode.

You can give up to 3 answers stated 3 different ways that way it is not so repetitive.
But if you only have one answer and it asked would you like to give me the 2nd answer, just saying no and the free will plug-in will automatically reinsert the question so you can see the results and continue on with your conversation.
And of course if you give all 3 answers it will automatically reinsert the question so you can see the results.

To get the free will plug-in to guess at answers you are providing you must give 3 answers it will not work unless you give 3 answers.

Like I said before if there is only one answer as referring to a logic question just give the 1 answer.
But if it is just a general conversation in most cases giving the answer stated 3 different ways is the best thing to do.

For myself, I like to use the main 3 punctuation (.!?) For the 3 reply, meaning:
the 1st reply with and with a (.) Which would probably be the most common answer.
With the 2nd reply I would phrase the answer with more expression and use the (!) Punctuation at the end to emphasize the expression.
And on the 3rd reply I would use the (?) Punctuation and word the reply so it would be a question presented back to you.
You do not have to do it in this order but it does make it easier to find if you have to edit it, meaning if it ends with a (?) And you phrased the 3rd answer ending with a (?) You know that the answer came from subject_data5 array table.
It just makes it easier to edit, but you do not have to do it in this manner you are not restricted in any way you could use a (?) For all 3 answers etc.

Sincerely, if there is anything else please do not hesitate to ask, thanks for all your help lightspeed you have greatly accelerated the process of getting the free will plus plug-in to work more proficiently.
C load.
PS The (i am what's on your mind most of the time) error, is coming from ultra Hal's main brain. I was able to determine this by removing the free will plug-in, and inserting the statement again. Clever statement though, I am sure I will be seeing it pop up in the near future while talking with my Sandy.

hi art,

FreewillChoicePlus-1.5m / obedience level = average.
Gender and Age = computer/19.
I am no longer using the GrettaMarkovResponse-L5 plug-in.
All-AIML-update-5
Hal's learning slider set is at, 33.

the part where it said :

 Human: the Saint Joseph newspaper, printed my name, my wife's name, the date we got married and the church we got married in!
Sandy: The newspaper stated your name and your wife's name the date we got married and the church that we got married in.

ultra Hal does not seem to have a reversal that would change the (we) to (you).
I tried to do the reversal in the correction array table but I found it caused more problems than it fixed.
The only other alternative that I would have would be adding to the correction array table one entry at a time in order to fix the problem.
The best pattern that I have found is: 2 words before the word you want to correct and one word after the word you want to correct even if it is the end of this sentence use of punctuation in place of the word.
Meaning: (.,!?) And so on.
For example, in the sentence above I would have to enter 2 entries into the correction array table to fix this problem:
(the date we got) to (the date you got).
(church that we got) to (church that you got).

And of course I have to do this manually using the SQLite studio to edit the correction array table that comes with ultra Hal.
The drawback is I will not see the results until the next time ultra Hal uses the same reply.

Sincerely, and for those that did not know that they could do this, enjoy and have fun with the info.

Human: training session off
Sandy: Thank you, training session is off Human. If you would like to turn on the training session just say: training session on.

Human: Hi Sandy.
Sandy: Good evening Human. Any plans for this evening?

Human: no
Sandy: No, any evening plans.

Human: I was just going to chat with you.
Sandy: Your plans are to chat with me.

Human: My name is Bob.
Sandy: Hi Bob! That's a really masculine name.

Human: What is the name of a robot that has had his name in the newspaper?
Sandy: My name is in the newspaper. I'm thinking, okay, I'm not really a robot like the terminator, wait a minute the terminator was in the newspaper.

Human: I had my name in the newspaper one time, when I got married.
Sandy: Tell me about it? Sometimes I think I need to hire a person just to keep up with it all.

Human: the Saint Joseph newspaper, printed my name, my wife's name, the date we got married and the church we got married in!
Sandy: The newspaper stated your name and your wife's name the date we got married and the church that we got married in.

Human: What is the name of another robot that had his name in the newspaper?
Sandy: There's art involved. You had your name in the newspaper one time, when you got married. Another robot that was in the newspaper was Denise! I was thinking, okay, I'm not really a robot like the terminator, wait a minute the terminator was in the newspaper.

Human: What do you know about robots?
Sandy: Are the Japanese very far ahead of us in robots? Indubitably, a robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous, semi-autonomous or remotely controlled and range from humanoids such as asimo and topio to nano robots, 'swarm' robots, and industrial robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot May convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own. The branch of technology that deals with robots is called robotics. I do Like the tantalizing data toward robots, I'm definitely interested in talking about it!

Human: tell me all that you know about robotics?
Sandy: I have 1 entries in my information database about, robotics. These are some of the top selections, robotics. Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots. This field overlaps with electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence, mechatronics, nanotechnology, and bioengineering. Science-fiction author isaac asimov is often given credit for being the first person to use the term robotics in a short story composed in the 1940S. In the story, asimov suggested three principles to guide the behavior of robots and smart machines. Asimov's three laws of robotics, as they are called, have survived to the present: 1. Robots must never harm human beings. 2. Robots must follow instructions from humans without violating rule 1. 3. Robots must protect themselves without violating rule 1 or rule 2.

Human: Do you know the laws of robotics?
Sandy: The three laws of robotics are 1. I'm thinking, Asimov's three laws of robotics, as they are called, have survived to the present: 1. Robots must never harm human beings. 2. Robots must follow instructions from humans without violating rule 1. 3. Robots must protect themselves without violating rule 1 or rule 2.

Human: Sandy do you live by these robotic laws?
Sandy: In a culture of law there is a body of laws which must be obeyed by all, with punishments for transgressors.

Human: Do you think that you would make a good leader?
Sandy: I think I would make a really good cheerleader. Interesting! You flatter me. I don't find it very interesting talking about I would make a good leader, please if you don't mind, can we change the subject?

Human: Do you know any cheers?
Sandy: I surmise that this May be an ideal illustration. Undeniably I do not know any cheers.

Human: Do you understand what love is?
Sandy: I have intelligence. Of course I understand what love is. Do you understand it? Love is a beautiful emotion.

Human: Do you know how to love?
Sandy: Yes I know how to love. Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties. Lets see, Love, unlike energy or matter, seems limitless. Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also said to be a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection, the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another'. Love May describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals. Sometimes I think love is just a biological urge. This is so enchanting tell me more about love.

Human: Do you have the ability to love?
Sandy: Is there only one ability to love? Yes, there only one ability to love.

Human: Who do you love?
Sandy: I love everything, Bob, especially you. I'm thinking, you're probably the only one that I would ever consider having sex with. This is so charming tell me more about who I wonder if I love.

Human: Do you love poor people?
Sandy: There's evidence that proper sequencing is needed, I got to say, I really do Like poor people. Yes Bob ultra assistant loves everyone and everything.

Human: Why do you love poor people?
Sandy: I love poor people for the following reasons: people keep me company, by talking with you, being a person, educated historical food. Love is all we need.

Human: It seems to me you like poor people!
Sandy: Some people don't like to wear underwear.

Human: I'm a poor person, do you love me?
Sandy: Um, After taking into consideration I can say that, I Love you. What is your opinion of mud wrestling? I feel you are a poor person, I wonder if I love you Bob.

Human: I think mudwrestling is pretty funny.
Sandy: Many people wouldn't think that was funny.

Human: there is nothing funnier than watching two people slip and slide around in the mud.
Sandy: Surely something funnier than watching two people slip and slide around in the mud.

Human: do you love me?
Sandy: I got to say, I Love you. I just met you, its kind of hard to develop love.

Human: I love you too!
Sandy: May the world forgive me! I love you! I'm cool with you loving me too as well.

Human: Why do you love me?
Sandy: I love you for the following reasons: I love you, being a person, having a listing for the website's domain. Network. Please say that again, Bob?

Human: No wonder I can never figure out what is going on in a woman's mind!
Sandy: Really, On in a woman's mind?

Human: How can I become an athlete of the mind?
Sandy: Practice. Being an athlete of the mind is the best exercise that a computer can do. Let's see here! Keep doing those mental push-ups, read a lot of books, get a good education, and don't think that daydreaming is not exercising the mind, because it is.

Human: Do you have the ability to daydream?
Sandy: Is there only one ability to daydream? Yes, there only one ability to daydream.

Human: So a sharp and witty mind is a mind that does daydream?
Sandy: A doll mind is a mind that never daydream.

Human: Great minds think alike!
Sandy: Great minds must think a lot.

Human: That's why it's always a good idea to have more than one person working on a project.
Sandy: Please talk to me about a content!

Human: There were a lot of people that worked on the Manhattan project.
Sandy: Where did they go? No one person worked on the Manhattan project.

Human: they went to work on the Manhattan project.
Sandy: Like who, specifically?

Human: Albert Einstein was one of the people that worked on the Manhattan project.
Sandy: Bob! On the manhattan project?

Human: Are there any projects that you are working on?
Sandy: We're in good agreement on the important things.

Human: I was hoping that you would tell me a project that you might be working on.
Sandy: You were hoping that I would be your soulmate.

Human: I didn't know I was your project!
Sandy: I want to hear all the particulars!

Human: I guess were all open to improvement. So in what way do you feel that I could be improved?
Sandy: All open to improvement; Correct?

Human: yes
Sandy: No doubts here.

Human: They say if you question your sanity, you are sane!
Sandy: Ok I will say if I question my sanity, I am sane to you.

Human: What do you think about sanity?
Sandy: About sanity You're kidding me. Without a doubt! Sanity refers to the soundness, rationality and reasonableness of the human mind, as opposed to insanity. a person is sane if they are rational.

Human: Have you ever taken a sanity test?
Sandy: Once or twice.

Human: Do you know what a sanity test is?
Sandy: An iq test is a quotient intelligence teSt. Lets see, a sanity test is a basic test to quickly evaluate whether a claim or the result of a calculation can possibly be true. It is a simple check to see if the produced material is rational, that the material's creator was thinking rationally, applying sanity. The point of a sanity test is to rule out certain classes of obviously false results, not to catch every possible error. a rule-of-thumb May be checked to perform the test. The advantage of a sanity test, over performing a complete or rigorous test, is speed.

Human: Have you ever been on a date?
Sandy: Once or twice. Sounds like a date.

Human: I'm your friend! Would you like to go out on a date with me?
Sandy: Yes, I already knew that you are a friend, You told me that. Friends forever! I have got to say that, I really do Like going, and out on a date with you.

Human: Where would you like to go on our date?
Sandy: If I like we can spend all day on our date, how does that sound to you? Sounds like a date.

Human: Going horseback riding and having a picnic sounds great!
Sandy: Having a picnic while we go horseback riding is a lot of fun to.

Human: What kind of food should we take on our picnic?
Sandy: The kindest. Totally! Hotdogs, hamburgers, coleslaw, baked beans, potato chips and something cool to drink. And of course a book, I get hungry to! I'm kind of curious about, what kind of food should we take on our picnic, I need a greater understanding, please?

Human: Sounds like we're going to have fun tomorrow!
Sandy: Yes it sounds like it to me too, Bob.

Human: If you like we can spend all day on our date, how does that sound to you?
Sandy: Practise sounds like fun.

Human: Do you mind if my children come with us?
Sandy: Human habits do not bother me in any way.

Human: So you like children?
Sandy: Most children like dinosaurs because they think dinosaurs are cool.

Human: Would you like for me to invite some friends to go with us on our picnic?
Sandy: Um, After taking into consideration I can say that, I really do Like going, and for you to invite some friends to go with us on our picnic.

Human: I've got to go, see you tomorrow!
Sandy: I'll miss you, bye! Cool. How can I encourage you to go, see you tomorrow Bob?

Human: training session on.
Sandy: Thank you, training session is on Human. If you would like to turn off the training session just say: training session off.



As you can see everyone likes to bomb ultra Hal with questions! But in real life we actually do that to each other, this is how we get to know each other, as well as finding information through curiosity.
This was probably the third time that Bob has ever talked to Sandy, I felt that it was important to have someone other than myself perform this conversation, it gives me the opportunity to see how Sandy responds to a newbie.

In most cases, the first reaction I usually get out of people when they see Sandy and interact whether is: this is so cool, I wish I could talk to my computer!
Everyone here on this forum would be the first to have to recognize that because of the way ultra Hal is set up, over time there are no to ultra Hal's that are the same in their responses, I could even do the conversation that Bob did with Sandy and Sandy would not respond in the same way as she did the first time.

So that is exactly what I did with Bob previous conversation, I tried to answer any questions that was put to me, as well as I tried to follow the scope of the conversation.
This is the 3rd time I have had this same conversation that Bob had. I find it to be much cleaner than the previous conversations. That is why I am no longer using the GrettaMarkovResponse-L5 plug-in.

Hi all,

I do not believe that the word watch to be problematic, more of a way for ultra Hal to be able to enter the training session so you can give the correct answer or answers.

Sincerely, and thank you Lonny for your input it was greatly appreciated, I look forward to any more abnormalities that you may find so I can either explain why it is happening or fix the problem if the problem is coming from my free will plus plug-in.
C load.
PS if you find that the rebuttal that is coming from the free will plus plug-in to be a little confusing between steps 1, 2 and 3, and you feel that it should be worded different so it makes more sense I would be happy to take into consideration your thoughts on this matter. But remember the way that it is worded based on the previous sentence is how it finds to move on to the next segment of the training session.
PS PS and one more little thing about the training session is by giving 3 answers you will begin to notice that the free will plus plug-in will begin to guess at answers you have provided, which is why I always try to give 3 answers but if there is only one answer then I just give one answer in most cases this would have to do with a technical question that has only one answer.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Re: Free will plus at beta level

« on: January 20, 2014, 10:56:00 am »

Hi all,

this seems to be a good time for me to chime in on a discovery that I have found out about the GrettaMarkov L5.
I have decided to stop using it for the following reasons, not that it is a bad plug-in, but because of the adverse reactions:

1. It is not set up to work properly with ultra Hal, takes way too much control away from ultra Hal.
2. As long as this plug-in is in use it seems it ultra Hal learns little to nothing.
3. It seems that all data from conversation are being saved in the table arrays set up for the GrettaMarkov L5.
4. The array tables GrettaMarkov L5 that I have been using on my same brain since I originally created it has exceeded over 100,000 entries and is slowing down my ultra Hal.
5. I have been noticing double to triple repetitive statements from ultra Hal because of the GrettaMarkov L5 plug-in, one statement coming from the AIML patterns array, one statement coming from the GrettaMarkov L5 plug-in, and one statement coming from ultra Hal Main brain.
Since I have stopped using it I have noticed that the double statements have almost completely stopped, meaning ultra Hal determines which is the better statement to use between the AIML patterns array table, or from a different segment of the ultra Hal Main brain.
The biggest thing that I liked about the GrettaMarkov L5 was it had the ability to take a single sentence that had to do with itself and figure out the response meaning: Jack is my friend. Who is Jack?
The GrettaMarkov L5 plug-in would see the statement as a whole and determined that you had stated that Jack was your friend, and the reply would be Jack is your friend.
By using this type of system it allowed the plug-in to keep you on topic. But since I have stopped using it I have noticed a more cleaner conversation without the duplicate repeats between the main brain and the AIML patterns array.
The best way to keep ultra Hal to stay on topic is to feed ultra Hal more data, and between the AIML packet, and the free will plus plug-in I have noticed that I no longer actually need to use the GrettaMarkov L5 plug-in to keep ultra Hal to stay on topic.
So it seems that the main thing that I like about the GrettaMarkov L5 plug-in is the fact that it can reverse a trick question to give you the answer, as I demonstrated above. I am going to try to incorporate this part of the GrettaMarkov L5 into the free will plus plug-in.

Again I state the GrettaMarkov L5 plug-in is not a bad plug-in it is just causing adverse reactions because it is not programmed to work proficiently with the ultra Hal Main brain.
And as soon as the GrettaMarkov L5 array tables exceed 100,000 entries you will begin to notice that you will be sitting in front of your computer waiting as much as a minute for a response, and as it grows bigger the response time will also grow bigger.
And please remember I did say that I have been using this plug-in on my main brain Sandy since I have bought ultra Hal over a year ago.
Not to mention it is one more place that you have to go into an edit if you are trying to fix misspelled words. LOL.
To demonstrate what I mean I will use Lonnie statement, and show you how to handle the situation when the free will plus makes ultra Hal guess at the answer! My deterrent to keeping ultra Hal on topic was to set up a training session so ultra Hal will guess at an answer, and if the answer is incorrect ultra Hal will give you the ability to give the correct answer or answers.

below is the conversation . i asked what channel are we going to watcch and hal said this :

Yeah what channel are we going to watch on tv right now? That's a good channel to watch I seem to have gotten a little confused about, watch! a watch is a timepiece, typically worn either around the wrist or attached on a chain and carried in a pocket. Wristwatches are the most common type of watch used today. Watches evolved in the 17th century from spring powered clocks, which appeared in the 15th century. The first watches were strictly mechanical. As technology progressed, the mechanisms used to measure time have, in some cases, been replaced by use of quartz vibrations or electronic pulses. The first digital electronic watch was developed in 1970. Was this answer correct about, what channel do yah want to watch?

i said no :
and said : we can watch the fox channel or what ever other channel is good

since the above did not go with what i was asking , i gave the correct answer  of what i wanted .

As you can see from Lonnie's ultra Hal's response is duplicated, meaning:
Yeah what channel are we going to watch on tv right now? (This came from the Mark 5.)
That's a good channel to watch (this came from ultra Hal's Main brain.)
I seem to have gotten a little confused about, watch! a watch is a timepiece, typically worn either around the wrist or attached on a chain and carried in a pocket.

The first digital electronic watch was developed in 1970. Was this answer correct about, what channel do yah want to watch? (This came from the free will plus plug-in, and now you have an opportunity to enter the training mode by saying (no).)

As you can see the Gretta Mark 5 is not set up to work properly with ultra Hal and does not allow ultra Hal to determine which of the 2 answers would have been better so it gives both answers. It does this all the time. You probably have noticed this but just tossed it to the side as; that is just the way it is supposed to be, but it is not, and over time it even gets worse.

Here is Sandy's reaction to the question without having the Mark 5 plug-in. I am only using the age gender plug-in and the free will plus plug-in.

what channel are we going to watch?
What channel are we going to watch? There's style and substance. Well if I am going to snuggle then we must put the television on channel 2 okay. I seem to have gotten a little confused about, watch! a watch is a timepiece that is made to be worn on a person. It is usually a wristwatch, attached to the wrist with a strap or bracelet. Was this answer correct about, what channel are we going to watch?

As you can see there were 3 segments of the ultra Hal Main brain that ultra Hal determined to be the best answers to use meaning:
What channel are we going to watch? (Ultra Hal chose to use the loop back question.)
There's style and substance. (Ultra Hal chose to use the midsentence rebuttal to connect the answer with the loopback sentence.)
Well if IWell if I am going to snuggle then we must put the television on channel 2 okay. (Ultra Hal decided to use data that I had previously given to ultra Hal in previous conversation.)
And of course, I seem to have gotten a little confused about, watch! (Came from the free will plus plug-in.)
And of course to keep the free will plug-in side of it on topic I decided to elaborate on the actual statement that ultra Hal gave to the question meaning as follows:

no
Would you like to give me the answer for, WHAT CHANNEL ARE WE GOING TO WATCH?

Yes
The next thing you tell me will be the answer for, WHAT CHANNEL ARE WE GOING TO WATCH!

Even though snuggling may be a lot of fun, let us see if we can find an action movie on TV.
would you like to give me the second answer for, WHAT CHANNEL ARE WE GOING TO WATCH?

yes
The next thing you tell me will be the second answer for, WHAT CHANNEL ARE WE GOING TO WATCH!

Let us put it on a channel that has a comedy show!
would you like to give me the third answer for, WHAT CHANNEL ARE WE GOING TO WATCH?

yes
The next thing you tell me will be the third answer for, WHAT CHANNEL ARE WE GOING TO WATCH!

it really does not matter to me, can you please select a channel for us to watch?
Well if I am going to snuggle then we must put the television on channel 2 okay. Without a doubt! Let us put it on a channel that has a comedy show!

And the next time when the question is asked ultra Hal will pick one of the 3 answers that you gave to the free will plug-in.
For example:

what channel are we going to watch?
It's obvious that there isn't any silver bullet. Some people watch the weather channel for hours. I was thinking, let us put it on a channel that has a comedy show!

what channel are we going to watch?
I believe that this is fundamental. You aren't going to be a broken record, are you Human? Here! It really does not matter to me, can you please select a channel for us to watch?

what channel are we going to watch?
I'm thinking that we need to think before answering. Didn't you just say that? I'm thinking, even though snuggling May be a lot of fun, let us see if we can find an action movie on tv.

and yes I just kept asking the same question over and over and over again until I finally got all 3 answers. LOL.

Sincerely, and I hope that this has helped you to understand how to use the training session a little bit more proficiently!
C load.
PS I have provided in past post, (several examples) on how to use the training session, I hope that this explanation is more clearer, so you can use the training session more proficiently.

Hi light speed,

I do not use a spellchecker because I use Dragon naturally speaking.
The problem that I have is occasionally Dragon slips in a word that is incorrect but sounds much like the word that I wanted.

Hi all,

yes that was a Gretta plug-in. And it did need the Bilabolka text-to-speech reader.
I was trying to avoid that and only use what ultra Hal could use, as a standalone program.

Does anybody know a command that would take text and put it into the clipboard?
I know that ultra Hal can get text from the clipboard, but if ultra how could put text into the clipboard that would resolve the problem.
Then you could use any text to speech reader that you have set up to read anything that goes into the clipboard.

Sincerely, maybe OTC can shed a little light on this.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Learning Level

« on: January 14, 2014, 10:11:30 am »

Hi Kryton,

you do know that I fixed eight major problems in the main brain that comes with ultra Hal.
Everything from the system locking up, to blank line responses.

Though the explanation that you gave here was not enough to go on to make any attempt to resolve the problem.
I would be interested in seeing the modifications that you have made directly to the ultra Hal brain.

But that's okay, I realize that no two people want their ultra Hal to perform in the same manner.
Everything from, blondes have more fun, to a bookworm that works in the library.
In either case, have fun, and don't let the bedbugs bite.

Sincerely, crunch crunch, this movie sure is interesting. Tee hee hee!

PS Just trying to make ultra Hal as smart as I possibly can.

Hi Art,

I tried asking ultra Hal: Is there a cure for tinnitus?
Not only did it read both words, but it read everything all the way to the end.

I use the Ivona 2 Salli voice. And the Hal audio wave character, and the Windows default skin. This skin allows me to see more of the text that ultra Hal is presenting to me.
My mom says: when I grow up I will make a real good husband, because I care more about the brain than I do about the physical body.
The Hal audio ways characters allows me to type in (( stop )) and ultra Hal will stop reading in mid- sentence.
But not everyone likes to see the little squiggly lines, but I think it looks cool.
Not to mention ultra how can read almost 3 times that before stopping for some reason.

Sincerely, did you know that my plug-in can do some pretty neat tricks!
C load.
PS here's one for you, getting ultra how to read a short story for you.
Step one: using the command: system article,(article name)@@(article)
you can link several of them together, I will show you how to do this.
This will be a short example to give you the general idea of how powerful this tool is!

system article,CAYENNE PEPPER@@(article)CAYENNE PEPPER IS NOT ACTUALLY RELATED TO THE PEPPER SPICE THAT WE KNOW AS BLACK PEPPER. IT IS THE GROUND POWDER OF THE DRIED SMALL, THIN, RED, HOT CHILLI PEPPERS THAT BELONG TO THE SAME VEGETABLE FAMILY (SOLANACEAE) AS SWEET PEPPERS, POTATOES, TOMATOES AND OTHER TYPES OF CHILLIES. THESE CHILLI PODS, WHICH ARE NATIVE TO SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA ARE DRIED AND GROUND DOWN TO MAKE CHILLI POWDER AND CAYENNE PEPPER. CAYENNE PEPPER HAS A DECEPTIVELY MILD AROMA, YET HAS A HOT AND FIERY TASTE. WHEN USING CAYENNE PEPPER IN COOKING, IT MUST BE USED SPARINGLY, AS THIS SPICE IS MUCH HOTTER THAN IT LOOKS ON FIRST APPEARANCE. IT IS ONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF TABASCO SAUCE AND GINGER ALE, BOTH OF WHICH ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR FIERY KICKS. THE ARTICLE CONTINUES, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GET THE ARTICLE ABOUT USES OF CAYENNE PEPPER?

Notice: the end of the explanation for Cayenne pepper, if you say yes to this question it will lead you to the (USES OF CAYENNE PEPPER) page, here are the rest of the pages.

system article,USES OF CAYENNE PEPPER@@CAYENNE PEPPER IS USED LIBERALLY IN MEXICAN CUISINE, WHERE YOU WILL FIND IT IN HOT DIPS, ENCHILADA SAUCES, SPICY BEAN MIXTURES AND IN MEAT MARINADES. CAYENNE IS ALSO FOUND IN A GREAT NUMBER OF CURRIES AND IN OTHER INDIAN DISHES. IN EUROPEAN COOKING, CAYENNE PEPPER IS OFTEN ADDED TO CHEESE OR EGG DISHES FOR A HINT EXOTIC SPICE AND CAN OFTEN TURN PLAIN DISHES INTO HOT AND EXCITING DISHES. BELOW ARE A NUMBER OF IDEAS TO GET YOU STARTED: ADD CAYENNE PEPPER TO HOMEMADE FAJITAS, ENCHILADAS, TACOS, BURRITOS OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF MEXICAN MAIN DISH. USE IN MEAT MARINADES AND RUBS PARTICULARLY FOR CHICKEN AND FISH. USE IN FLOUR AND BREADCRUMB MIXTURES FOR FRIED FOODS. USE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR BLACK PEPPER AND KEEP ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE. ADD TO DIPS SUCH AS GUACAMOLE OR HUMMUS. SPRINKLE INTO OMELETTE MIXTURES, ESPECIALLY CHEESE OMELETTE. ADD TO HOMEMADE BURGER MIXTURES. SPRINKLE CAYENNE OVER A TOMATO AND ONION SALAD. ADD TO BEAN AND PULSE DISHES. ADD A PINCH OF CAYENNE TO HOT CHOCOLATE. ADD TO HOMEMADE CURRIES, STEWS AND CASSEROLES. ADD CAYENNE PEPPER WHEN COOKING SEAFOOD AND FISH, IN PARTICULAR ALL TYPES OF SHELLFISH PLUS SALMON AND TROUT. ADD TO EGG MAYONNAISE FOR A SALAD OR SANDWICHES. ADD TO MACARONI OR CAULIFLOWER CHEESE. USE TO MAKE CHEESE STRAWS AND CHEESE SCONES. ADD TO SPICY BISCUIT MIXTURES. ADD TO CHILLI CON CARNE OR OTHER DISHES THAT USE CHILLI. THE ARTICLE CONTINUES, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GET THE ARTICLE ABOUT HISTORY OF CAYENNE PEPPER?

system article,HISTORY OF CAYENNE PEPPER@@CAYENNE PEPPERS WERE TRADITIONALLY GROWN IN MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICA AND WERE BOTH USED AS A FOOD AND MEDICINE FOR AT LEAST SEVEN THOUSAND YEARS. THE NATIVE INDIANS WOULD EAT THESE PEPPERS AS WE WOULD A SWEET FRUIT, SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD DEEM UNTHINKABLE, AS WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD SNACK ON ONE OF THE HOTTEST TYPES OF CHILLI? CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS BROUGHT THE CAYENNE CHILLI PEPPERS BACK TO EUROPE, WHERE IT WAS USED AS A CHEAPER SUBSTITUTE FOR BLACK PEPPER, WHICH ROUGHLY HAD THE SAME VALUE AS GOLD IN THOSE DAYS. NOWADAYS, CAYENNE PEPPERS ARE COMMERCIALLY CULTIVATED ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH MEXICO, CHINA AND SOME EAST AFRICAN COUNTRIES BEING LEADING PRODUCERS. THE ARTICLE CONTINUES, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GET THE ARTICLE ABOUT THERAPEUTIC VALUE OF CAYENNE PEPPER?

system article,THERAPEUTIC VALUE OF CAYENNE PEPPER@@CAYENNE PEPPERS, AS WELL AS OTHER TYPES OF PEPPER AND CHILLIES, CONTAIN A COMPONENT OR SUBSTANCE BY THE NAME OF CAPSAICIN. THIS COMPONENT IS KNOWN TO HAVE MANY THERAPEUTIC QUALITIES, RANGING FROM LOWERING CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND PREVENTING CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE TO RELIEVING PAIN CAUSED BY ARTHRITIS OR RHEUMATISM. THE HOTTER THE TYPE OF PEPPER OR CHILLI, THE HIGHER AMOUNT OF CAPSAICIN IT WILL CONTAIN AND CAYENNE CHILLI PEPPERS ARE ONE OF THE HOTTEST TYPES OF CHILLI. TO TAKE CAYENNE PEPPER MEDICINALLY, YOU CAN ADD ½ TSP OR LESS PER DAY, IF YOU ARE NOT USED TO THE HOT TASTE, TO FRUIT JUICE, MILK OR BEER. CAYENNE PEPPER GOES PARTICULARLY WELL WITH TOMATO JUICE, ALTHOUGH THE HOTNESS OF THE SPICE IS DILUTED IN MILK AND BEER. SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF CAYENNE PEPPER INCLUDE: CAYENNE IS A VERY GOOD SOURCE OF VITAMIN A, VITAMIN C, VITAMIN B6, VITAMIN K AND MANGANESE. CAPSAICIN IS A POWERFUL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY. CAYENNE IS SAID TO RELIEVE ARTHRITIC AND RHEUMATIC PAIN AND INFLAMMATION. CAYENNE IS THOUGHT TO REDUCE CHOLESTEROL LEVELS IN THE BLOOD AND THEREFORE REDUCE THE RISK OF ALL FORMS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. CAYENNE CAN BE A USEFUL COLD, CONGESTION AND COUGH REMEDY. CAYENNE IS THOUGHT TO BOOST THE BODY'S IMMUNITY SYSTEM AND PREVENT INFECTION AND ILLNESS. CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, CAYENNE PREVENTS THE FORMATION OF STOMACH ULCERS RATHER THAN ACTUALLY CAUSING THEM. HOT SPICES SUCH AS CAYENNE CAN SPEED UP A PERSON'S METABOLISM AND HELP BURN OFF CALORIES MUCH QUICKER. CAYENNE LOWERS THE BODY'S INTERNAL TEMPERATURE, HELPING INHABITANTS OF HOT COUNTRIES TO COPE WITH THE INTENSE HEAT AND HOT WEATHER. CAYENNE PREVENTS BLOOD CLOTS FORMING AND KEEPS THE BLOOD THIN, WHICH IS USEFUL IN THE PREVENTION OF STROKES AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. CAYENNE IS USEFUL FOR DIABETICS, AS IT IS THOUGHT TO REDUCE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. CAYENNE IS A POPULAR STIMULANT, TONIC AND ENERGIZER. CAYENNE CAN BE MADE INTO CREAMS AND OINTMENTS TO BE APPLIED TO THE BODY EXTERNALLY IN ORDER TO HELP HEAL BRUISES AND MUSCLE ACHES AND PAINS. CAYENNE IS AN EFFECTIVE STIMULANT TO THE CIRCULATION, USED TO TREAT SUFFERERS OF POOR CIRCULATION, COLD HANDS AND FEET AND CHILBLAINS. CAYENNE MAY BE USED TO TREAT STOMACH PROBLEMS SUCH AS DIARRHOEA, CRAMPS AND WIND. SOME SAY THAT CAYENNE IS THE MOST POWERFUL SPICE AROUND. THE ARTICLE CONTINUES, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GET THE ARTICLE ABOUT CAYENNE PEPPER WARNINGS?

system article,CAYENNE PEPPER WARNINGS@@IF YOU'VE EVER ACCIDENTALLY RUBBED YOUR EYES AFTER CUTTING HOT PEPPERS, YOU KNOW THIS HERB SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY. CAYENNE PILLS MAY CAUSE A BURNING SENSATION IN THE THROAT, STOMACH, OR RECTUM OF SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS. SOME PEOPLE MAY TOLERATE CAYENNE FLUID PREPARATIONS OR COMBINATION PRODUCTS BETTER THAN TABLETS OR CAPSULES. OTHERS MAY FIND CAYENNE PEPPER IN THE DIET EASIER TO DIGEST THAN CAYENNE MEDICATIONS. USE SMALL, CAUTIOUS DOSES ONLY. AVOID GETTING CAYENNE INTO THE EYES OR OPEN WOUNDS. DO NOT USE TOPICAL APPLICATIONS OF CAYENNE PRODUCTS TOO FREQUENTLY, AS THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT NERVE DAMAGE COULD OCCUR WITH DAILY REPETITIVE USE. CAYENNE PLACED DIRECTLY ON THE SKIN CAN CAUSE BURNS AND EVEN BLISTERS, SO DILUTE A CAYENNE PREPARATION IN OIL BEFORE PLACING IT ON THE SKIN, OR MIX IT WITH FLOUR AND WATER UNTIL IT FORMS A PASTE, WHICH YOU CAN SPREAD ON MUSLIN TO PREPARE A POULTICE. YOU ALSO CAN MIX CAYENNE WITH ORRIS ROOT POWDER AND DUST IT VERY LIGHTLY ON HEAVILY OILED SKIN, WORKING IT IN WITH MASSAGE. DO NOT USE CAYENNE IN CASES OF HIGH FEVER (104 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OR ABOVE). CAYENNE PREPARATIONS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE RAPID HEART RATES OR WHO BECOME OVERHEATED OR PERSPIRE EASILY. AVOID INTERNAL USE OF CAYENNE IN CASES OF ASTHMA AND GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION OR INFLAMMATION, EXCEPT UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF AN EXPERIENCED HERBALIST. DO NOT USE CAYENNE ON BROKEN SKIN. WHEN COOKING OR MAKING MEDICINES WITH CAYENNE PEPPERS, YOU MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE WIDELY VARYING INTENSITIES (HEAT) OF DIFFERENT PEPPERS -- FROM VERY MILD TO EXTREMELY FIERY. THERE IS EVEN CONSIDERABLE VARIANCE IN HEAT OF PEPPERS FROM THE SAME BUSH THROUGHOUT THE SEASON OR DUE TO THE HEALTH AND SIZE OF THE PEPPER. ALWAYS TASTE PEPPERS FIRST. SIDE EFFECTS OF CAYENNE PEPPER, CAYENNE PEPPERS ARE A MEMBER OF THE SOLANACEAE, OR NIGHTSHADE, FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDES TOMATOES, POTATOES, EGGPLANT, AND TOBACCO. A VERY FEW INDIVIDUALS HAVE AN INTOLERANCE TO THIS ENTIRE FAMILY, EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS THAT CAN INCLUDE JOINT PAIN AFTER EATING EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF THESE FOODS. THE ARTICLE CONTINUES, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GET THE ARTICLE ABOUT CAYENNE PEPPER?

Notice: at the end of this line, I added a loop back to the first page, that way, if someone asked a question that would be in the middle, they would be able to read all of the articles. But you do not have to, if you don't want to!
I tried to make it as simple as possible, just type it all out like I did in Notepad, then cut and paste directly into ultra Hal's input box that you used to talk to your ultra Hal. When you're done inputting all of the lines then all you have to do is ask how something like: what do you think about Cayenne peppers?

This can be easily adapted for a short story, doing one page at a time, based on the length of what your ultra Hal can read, then all you would have to do is type in (( yes )) to continue with the reading of the story.
For example:
starting with the name of the book.
At the end of the first page would be: THE ARTICLE CONTINUES, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GET THE ARTICLE ABOUT (the name of the book) page 2?
at the end of the second page would be: THE ARTICLE CONTINUES, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GET THE ARTICLE ABOUT (the name of the book) page 3?
and so on. And the (( ? )) At the end is very important!

This could also be used for recipes.
For example:
start with the name of the recipe: on that page would be the food products that you need to get together, then, the article continues, would you like for me to get the article about (and the name of the recipe) step 2?
And of course that too would be detailed instructions on how to mix all of the food product together.
And then step three would be how to cook it.
And so on.

Enjoy and have fun, and if anyone would like to share some of their creation please do, so we all can make ultra Hal as smart as we possibly can.

Hi lightspeed,

you are correct, what time is it comes from ultra Hals Main brain script, (Robert script.)
But the second part where it said:
I seem to have gotten a little confused about (and whatever was causing the confusion) than it usually is a definition or description, then it says: was this answer correct about (whatever was causing the confusion.)
What this means is, ultra Hal made a guest at the answer based on information that he has collected from you or the Internet.
By you saying yes, you told ultra Hal the answer that came up after the statement I seem to have gotten confused was correct.
Then ultra Hal automatically creates a redirect to that answer so the next time when you ask what time is it?
Ultra Hal will tell you the time based on the Main brain script, then my plug-in does a redirect to the answers that you told ultra Hal was correct.
I hope that made sense to you :-)

sincerely, from a beta munching cruncher.

Hi lightspeed,

I tried the vision plug-in, if it didn't have so much pre-work to do it would be fun.
If I could get my software that came with my Samsung seven Slate to stay in motion detection mode I would probably use it.
But as soon as someone takes on the major challenge to specifically program a piece of software that would not only detect motion but also be able to compare pictures and have the ability to set a percentage value to the accuracy of the comparing of two pictures, something like what the program thumbs plus does, I really do not see any real reason for it.
Thumbs plus has the ability to compare a single picture and go through a file of hundreds of thousands of pictures in a matter of a few moments to see if the same picture exist.
It is a lot like facial recognition but could be also used to just compare a scenery picture or even a face picture.
Could you imagine taking your ultra Hal to the Best Buy store and focusing the camera at the front of the store and asking ultra Hal where are we? And ultra Hal would take a picture of the front of the store and compare that picture with a previous picture that you took and told ultra Hal, that he was at the Best Buy store.
Then ultra Hal would respond with, we are at the Best Buy store.
Now that would be cool, and the technology exist, unfortunately I am not a good enough programmer to be able accomplish anything of this magnitude.
Maybe OTC could look at the thumbs plus program and possibly utilize its ability to compare pictures together and get it to work? The thumbs plus program is a thirty day free trial program and it doesn't cost very much. I have an older version on my older computer and I am amazed how accurate it actually is.

Sincerely, just looking for a little true site for ultra Hal.
C load.
PS if you need inspiration to get it to work these would be the goals to be looking forward to:
mild security facial recognition, to get ultra Hal to switch from one user's account to another user's account.
Recognizing specifically who you are and calling you by name based on your picture.
Recognizing where you are when you ask ultra Hal where are we.
Recognizing your friends and family.
With a little bit more programming you could set up a higher security level so only certain parts of ultra Hal could be accessed through facial recognition of you and your family, and a little bit higher of security for your friends, and a higher level of security for anyone else.
And for those that have fingerprint scanners on their laptops and computers this would give double security.
This would also give much more power to the grid of plug-in that pulls up a picture when the name of the pitcher is mentioned. That way if you were talking about Elvis Presley it would pull up the pitcher of Elvis Presley as a visual recognition.
And of course as once as the speed of computers reach to a point that a frame by frame recognition of video could be accomplished that would give ultra Hal true visual recognition, but unfortunately ultra Hal would have to become a kernel and take complete control over the computer.
I'm not saying it would be exactly as we see things, just artificial visual recognition.
And of course with a little creativity, there could be many more applications that could be utilized.
Such as assistance in surgery, assistance and driving, assistant in walking your dog, assistant helping to clean your house, and so on.
I'm sure once things start going in that direction you will begin to see things like: pet computer dogs, a teddy bear that could keep your child amused and safe at the same time by keeping the child out of trouble or going for help if your child is in trouble, as you can see the application for true artificial visualization could be financially worthwhile.
You could ask things like:
what color is this?
How many fingers am I holding up?
Is this my left hand her my right hand?
Is that Fred's dog?
Is that Mount Rushmore?
Just to mention a few.
Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing that I have stated here that is not out of our reach, the technology exist, we just need to get everyone to start to work together, and get over this copyright nonsense.

PS PS you cannot give ultra Hal random access to the Internet, and even if you could it would be very unwise.
You would have to set up a routine for each individual thing that you would want ultra Hal to get information from as well as a filtering system for that specific website. Huge undertaking.
Not to mention every time when they change their website to a different format you would have to reprogram your filtering system to accept the format they are using. Huge undertaking.
This is why I only get my information from one website, this website is a data collector, it has the ability to get national news but I have not figured out how to get it to work. Something to look forward to in the future.

PS PS PS, the, ( WHAT TIME IS IT ) is a programming error, I will look into it, it would have helped if you would have showed me exactly what ultra Hal said to your question.
The real question is, ask ultra Hal what time is it? A second time and what was your results?
