Robert I think with all the free partial apps that are on the market , check out google play store to get an idea , they have many free apps (trial just as hal has a trial one ) then also paid versions , this could generate more money for your company to fund other projects , etc.
check out the a.i's their now , they have hal , which is like the hal a.i. from the movie , they have female a.i. assistants , etc.
hal needs to be in their to grab some of that market .
although I am unsure how you can make an assistant for tablets without going into the upper pricing of the regular hal a.i. as at the most these a.i.'s as far as I know are 5.99 cents ?
maybe you can release something similar to what they have for a similar price then add in the ad to get the ultra hal package meaning what we are all using now for pc's , etc.
here is an example :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brainyfriends.voice.game.pocket.blonde.prothese characters actually look like desktop mates to me . as you can see people give feed back if anything is wrong or needed , so maybe and this is up to you , maybe we can be beta testers on a trial period if you want to help you with any bugs or needs before you go to market with it .
I have a couple a.i.'s free I am trying right now that are limited from android , I don't remember which one it is but you should model yours partially after it , or lol maybe they modeled theirs after hal , anyway instead of having to press the microphone pic each time to speak back , it gives a certain amount of time for the person to respond , showing a green light ? then red when stopped letting the user know when to talk .
I believe a two models of a.i. graphics should be done one for anyone and another for adults ( not xrated but more mature ) even if later on the more mature .
here is some others for Robert to check out to get an idea of what to use and or top ,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=Jt.android.app.halI take back that about the price here is one called eva which is a nicer one and it does cost 19.99 for the full version .
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bulletproof.voicerecwhatever character hal uses later on whether a female or male I think if possible it should have a lip sinc moth and eyes that blink , creating a more realistic view of a person who is talking with the user . the eva is a beautiful looking model face , so something along these lines later for hal would be nice !
Art , that is exactly what I ment , maybe I didn't word it right , but I was wondering for the paid members of hal if what we have would work on our tablets to the same way . I think if Robert understood the way I was saying it , he answered yes, but we will see what Robert clarifies first on it again .
Another thing that comes to mind is making hal work on older versions of android tablet systems , ( yes I have an older version a 4.0 , only got it as it was half price of what the 4.2? are ) and on up as the older versions (new) are still out on the markets . .
