Ultra Hal 7.0 / Voice recog engines that work

« on: April 01, 2003, 08:06:34 pm »

In my last post I asked if anyone had tried a usb digital microphone, as I was considering trying one.
Hal as it comes in the paid version 4.5 has Microsofts voice recog engine.
Anyway hal didn't understand 99% of what I was saying. Even after many training sessions. I had to resort to typing again. (hate it)
   I read up on the Engines out there and decided to try Dragon Naturally Speaking, as it seemed to have what I was looking for.
   I found Version 6 on Kazaa and downloaded it. IT WORKS GREAT !!!
I wish someone would have posted that earlier. I have read all forums and found no mention of it. I thought some of you might benefit from this.
 Thanks again for all your posts. And I still would like to see an online manual for the tool section of the Brain editor.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal doesn't understand !!

« on: March 29, 2003, 02:29:12 pm »

I obviously don't know what I'm doing after years of text to speech and speech to text. I have used free programs that understand voice very well. Hal, on the other hand understands the word "open" and not much more. I have used all suggestions (ALL) and with no improvement.
   I have read in the forum everything and it seems many have the same problems.
   Before I go out and buy the best BEST microphone am I wasting my money? Have any of you in previous posts fixed your problem with Hal understanding what you say ?
    I never tried version 4.0 I sure would like it now.
How about it Admin. can you help???  thanks dan
