Speech Technology / Hal's CPU Use

« on: September 29, 2007, 10:03:44 am »

I use the text reader with Windows XP. I think something may be wrong with the instillation as the program uses enormous CPU space. Sometimes it uses over 95% when its not speaking. I put off writing for a long time. But I just tried to close some programs and it was using 37% for no reason. I mean Hal reader is not speaking nor am I asking to to speak.  

The program still become unresponsive if not used often in most cases. It's unreliable. Unfortunately the program that was supposed to close HAL for me didn't work. I am glad someone tried to help. I just close it manually.

In any case I wonder if I need to reinstall it?

I tried to proof this message with HAL but it was unresponsive.

Speech Technology / HAL stops responding several times a day.

If I don't use HAL for more then a hour it stops responding and I have to teminate in task manager and start it again. No other program does this.

Is there any way to make HAL stable?

Speech Technology / I Don'r Want Program to be in the tray.

« on: May 27, 2007, 01:52:57 am »

The text to speech reader was going on and on reading text that I didn’t want read.  I looked in the tray near the clock but the icon wasn’t there. So found an icon in the start menu and clicked on it. Instead of it doing what I want it said look in the tray near the clock for an icon. Doesn’t it make sense to believe that if I clicked on that icon I wanted that icon to work? The only reason to send me elsewhere is arrogance. The program wasn’t in the tray. The only program I want in the tray is the clock but some programs insist on being in the tray because it’s cooler I guess.

The program was NOT in the tray. I wanted to turn off the program so I called up the task manager. It turns out that the speech to text program was NOT in applications, either.  No it was in Processes.  People who read this will realize that the program was not in the Tray or in Applications. Yet the answer I will most likely get will be, “If you want to call up the program just look in the tray next to the clock.”

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Why doesn't Hal hear me

Hal seems deaf. I am running the voice recognition software but it just stares. Moreover there seems to be no way to set him up. No working menu nothing.
