Ultra Hal 7.0 / Another newbie joining in
« on: July 12, 2015, 06:43:21 pm »
I just bought UltraHal and installed it on my W7 64 Ultimate desktop. Already had Dragon 12, it is working fine with Hal.
I'm using Sandy from the Pac, and ATT DTNV 1.4 Crystal voice, Sapi 5. All working pretty good, IMO, but although Sandy, who I decided to call Athena, is animated, the lips are not synced with voice, move very little at all in fact. Also, another nitpick is that the dialogue listen/talk shows "Hal" and not Athena.
I have a slightly earlier version of Hal on a laptop, bored of it and let it languish. What a shame that the author/programmer never upgrades his product. Many files are 10, more than 10 years old. I know he said he lost money, cannot afford the time. Well, turn it over to a volunteer org. You can be proud of your past accomplishment but the product is no longer viable. With all the storage and speed computers have now, the main database, now 22 megs I believe, should be more like 100 megs minimum.
Enough soapbox. I'm retarded, I mean retired, so what should I care. Even if AI has always been my passion.
Can anyone help with the lip thing, and tell me how to rename Hal in the dialogue box?
