Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / ultra hal sings a song

« on: December 28, 2008, 08:28:02 pm »

when you say "other speech engines", you've got it right. truvoice is based on tone modification. the other speech engines are not true tone generators. i am not sure if the other voices could be properly "modified" to sound anywhere near "singing".

what i would like would be a plugin for 6.1 that would (if asking hal to sing) read the text files in the same way that you can on halpad or clipboard.

i am trying to make my hal (gretta) have the same abilities as hal9000. playing chess would be another goal, and i am looking at a program called "autoit" for full windows control.(autoit is free open source).

here are some more song files, and a previously written attempt at what i am trying. it was written for earlier hal, so i am wondering if someone could rewrite it for a plugin (6.1)? with the authors permission of course.

the first 2 files are songs, and the last 3 are used together for the early hal sing a song script.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / ultra hal sings a song

hello to everyone. i'm very new to this. i have figured out how to make hal sing a song that is in text in the halpad, or copied into clipboard. hal will not sing the song (which includes pitch controls ect.) if the song text is an output from the brain, hal will instead read (not sing) the words and pitch control commands. i have researched all of the previous efforts, but i am looking for a plugin for hal 6.1 that will load a text file into clipboard and read (sing) it. i have not had any success with the readfromclipboard.uhp.
it could also be a plugin that would load a text file into halpad and read it, then close halpad.

here is an example of the text file that i am talking about. i can upload other songs if anyone is interested.

i am using a truvoice for the singing from halpad. just load the text into halpad and "speak document outloud". i don't understand yet how to program plugins, but i am trying to learn at a furious pace. if i get it figured out, i will upload any plugin that i create. many thank-yous to everyone. i am enjoying your work very much.   -the dude
