Speech Technology / voice training is 100% fail!
« on: January 31, 2013, 01:25:54 pm »
As stated before in another tread below, this speech recognition feature is a mind-numbingly fail and does not work, at all.

After training my computer for hours and hours using Windows 8 SAPI and confirming with SAPI it can recognize a great deal of my speech under headset and open mic, I was very i was very disappointed to learn Hal still could not tell the difference between shut, and shot, up and of.

I'm not going to sugar coat it for you guys one iota, this speech feature of Hal is a joke, and clearly does not work. Again, just to eliminate all possibility of human error, I've read all the suggestions you have provided on the forms and documentation and still, can't get Hal to recognize a single word I speak, on headset and open mic, talking very slowly, normal rate, fast you name it.. just decides to choose a bunch of random words it thinks I'm saying.

So in a nut shell, does Hal actually use any sort of technology from Windows SAPI (windows speech recognition), I highly doubt it and call bull pucky! With that said, some might say its not fair to say such things about Hal cause speech recognition is so new, again I call bull pucky. I've been playing with SAPI since XP people, and speech recognition was 100x better than this Hal "speech recognition" over 10 years ago..

So I digress, Hal is not something you want to consider purchasing if you want to use the speech side of this software, in fact they make it seem like it is a main stream feature of the software, but then quickly hide it in the back cause of how bad it is once you open the software up. Don't believe me? How many of you had to turn the speech feature on when you ran hal for the first time? Everyone did!

Make your highlighted features better, or least on par with modern home technology.
