Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / getting hal to read out loud

« on: September 10, 2003, 04:16:40 pm »

I found that if I copied the document from MS Wordpad to Hals HalPad I could get the document read out loud. One problem is that Hal will not load HalPad upon command. But once in HalPad you can open any document file on your system.
Thanks for the input

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / getting hal to read out loud

« on: September 09, 2003, 05:53:56 pm »

I type in a text file which was opened by hal. Then I tried to get hal to read it with no luck. What am I doing wrong? The file contained the words to the old song "Daisey" as sung by the original Hal 9000 computer in '2001 A Space Oddesy'.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank
Bill

Hello back to you. I just bought the latest version and because it works so well I went out and bought a 'real' robot kit. The kit already has voice recognition but will not converse the way that Hal does so I am going to load Hal onto it so it will have a dual purpose.
If you are interested I can give you the web address where you can get the same robot. I think that you will find it sort of nice with great possiblities.
Email me if you want more info.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / MY PASSWORD!!!

I just bought the latest version on cdrom. When I finished my purchasing they offered to download a copy right on the spot but I did not take advantage at that time. Now I find that I am getting impatient and would like to download it now. How do I go about it?
I did copy down my order number and password.
Thanks

I am a new Hal user and I would like to know if possible if Hal could answer my telephone when I am not home and take messages for me.
Thanks
