Ultra Hal 7.0 / People putty characters

« on: March 11, 2005, 03:43:55 pm »

People Putty creates the jhp as a morph file, you need to load a hap or htr character before adding the morph (it's more like mrf file than a htr or hap file).

This is a VB example:

HAP.HyperText = "Load [file= [" & App.path & "anygirl.jhp] i0= 2] LoadMorph [name= anygirl switch= morphs i1= 1]"

About the ppf, no idea.

Speech Technology / Start Speech from cursor position?

« on: March 10, 2005, 04:27:10 pm »

I was making a program that readed documents from other programs, and found that in order to do so there are 3 ways:

1- Tell the reader to be prepared to the focus of a document that you are going to set focus and has a selected text (too combersome) or goind to set.

2- Copy the info to the clipboard and tell the reader to speakout (believe me it's not that difficult, and is easy and flexible to program)

3- Add a right menu option into the application so if somebody right click on the option the reader will do the job (the best option), so you have to add the option to the registry for any program that has to have the facility (But I am not sure of how to set the program or action <copy to clipboard>). You can find some info on the net about IE and right click menus.

Speech Technology / TTS too slow...

« on: March 10, 2005, 04:13:49 pm »

It's not Hall but TTS of microsoft with Haptek "heads", I some machines the "head" speak too slow with some voices (not all, my friend told me that a male voice worked OK).

What can be done? (I figured out that was something like SAPI missing files, so I told my friend to reinstall SAPI 5.1, but seems that it works the same way). I will ask him to tell me wich voice, but right now I don't know.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / how to set TTS pitch, speed and volume?

« on: December 23, 2004, 04:08:22 pm »

HALImprover aproach worked out fine.

TXT = "\Pit=" & Round(Pitch, 0) & "\\Spd=" & Round(Speed, 0) & "\\Vol=" & Round(Volume, 0) & "\"


So sapi tags could be added to the text for HAL.

Tanks to all, strange I add 2 (at the beginning and ending) and 4 between tags but the editor disapear the codings.
