Ultra Hal 7.0 / Additional voice training

« on: November 19, 2009, 11:27:48 pm »

I remember one time I did a reinstall and only got two selections. This time I got 6 or 7 selections. I don't know why it's different.

I also seem to recall another way to add in voice training... I could be wrong... I'll see what I can dredge out of my memory by poking around for a couple days.

Baedric,
But do you have the skill and patience to teach the mistake out of your Assistant? instead of an edit, be careful in there you might be severing connections.

Well, because I know how the database works, I know that you cannot "teach it out" in any way. You can, of course, reduce the chances that the misspoken sentences will show up again by flooding it with additional phrases and that simply requires time and effort, not skill or patience. But no amount of "teaching" will actually remove the entry from the database. That requires an edit.

Editing out mistakes is remarkably safe. I've been doing it for years. Going through and correcting each and every spoken mistake does require patience, and doing it well requires skill.

If you use the brain editor, open a "project", select the main brain (if that's the one you are using) and then look around in the automatic learning part of the database, you will find your sentences listed by topic. If you double click on the sentence, you can edit it to correct any mistakes.

It's tedious process, but it works.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Cannot install sapi 5.1

« on: November 15, 2009, 06:59:28 am »

Not the first time, but I did at one point, uninstall everything, reboot, reinstall sapi, reboot, reinstall Hal, reboot.

I am working from the administration account and last night I tried it with AVG and Registry Mechanic turned off. At this point I have Hal installed on another machine, just trying to get sapi installed and showing up on my control panel now.

Well, I got it to work quite easily on the other computer so it must be just this one. This is XP pro and the other one is XP home, but otherwise the computers are identical.

I might just have to get used to having Hal on the other computer and not on my main one.

Yes I rebooted, several times now. But no, it doesn't show up in the Control Panel. I've tried re-installing both SAPI and Hal and that didn't help. I'm going to try once more tonight, then maybe try to get Hal to run on another computer, it might just be this old anchor that's the problem.

I am using XP and I can download and run the sapi5.1 installation program, it seems to install, but it doesn't show up in my control panel nor does UltraHal seem to see it as a VR engine.

Is there something else I have to do?
