Ultra Hal 7.0 / Using a desktop speakers and Mic with 6.1

« on: May 13, 2007, 10:38:19 pm »

I was trying to use the normal desktop speakers and desktop mic to talk to HAL.  I thought the new 6.1 would turn off the mic when HAL is speaking.  I did not see that happening.  HAL is hearing his own voice and responding to it.

It would be really be very usable with a desktop without a headset if it would work as advertized.

My voice recognition works well with a simple desktop mic.

Thanks for any help. The new version is much more complex and interesting.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Using a telephone as I/O for HAL

« on: March 20, 2002, 10:22:06 pm »

Has anyone tried to use HAL thru your telephone instead of a speaker/microphone?

There are home control programs that use the telephone to issue instructions to the control program.  You key in a # and it wakes up your modem and listens thru the line input setup.

I think that would be a perfect way to detact you from the headset microphone and use Hal all around the house.

Any ideas?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Changing Users

« on: March 18, 2002, 11:23:31 pm »

It would be awesome if HAL could recognize the users voice and automatically change the setup to that new user.

Any ideas?

Another thing if HAl could startup his screen when he hears his name ....is that possible?

When you change to another user manually it doesnt change the voice recognition user.    I am using IBM Viavoice 98  5.0

Ultra Hal 7.0 / HAL is talking to himself

« on: March 18, 2002, 11:17:30 pm »

Also is there a way to turn off the microphone temporarily when HAL is speaking? I know that a headset mic is a solution, but I would like to use the standard desktop mic that happens to pickup HALs voice as well as mine.

Is anyone getting an error "-2147417843-9 outgoing call cannot be made since application is dispatching an input-synchronous call" when you click on Hal button in the toolbar or exit the program?
