Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal Assistant

« on: July 26, 2002, 01:55:42 am »

I will install the upgrade as soon I get it.  I am also using an XP with 128 Mg Ram and .9Gig processor.  I use speach recognition with my emails and Word 2002 when background noise is low.  After about 2 hours training I am geting about 85 to 95 percent accuracy.  XP uses the Microsoft English ASR Version 5 engine.  Are you using the one provided with the upgrade or the one built into XP?  If you are not using a headset microphone I suggest you get one.  It realy helps.  Here is a sample from the XP speach recogniton software.

***********************************************************************
This is a simple test On the speech to text software and should give an indication of the accuracy level on this system.  
***********************************************************************

In the above example the words "ON" should have been "OF".  I have company and the TV is on in the other room.  Background noise is higher than it should be.  I don't know if the Microsoft engine is compatible with Ultra Hal Assistant.  I still need to do a lot more training.  You must also speak the same way when dictating as you do when training.  That was my biggest problem.  When I first started I got a lot of garbage.  Common words are translated with good accuracy but names etc cause a lot of errors.

Hope this helps.  Let me know how it goes.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Ultra Hal Assistan UPgrade

Hi, my name is Steve and I currently stay in the Philippines and I recently started running Hal text to speech and Ultra Hal Assistant.  I'm really enjoying using the software and  would like to maximize the potential of this system.  I downloaded the plug in which is chat brain number 216. when I use this brain it seems to chat better than the default brain but Hal will no longer control the computer.   I assume this is the way it is intended to work.  Where can I find the other brains for Hal?  What I really want to do, is use speech to text to completely control the computer or least control the computer as much as possible.  I want to do this with a remote FM headset mike.  My computer has a 900 MHz processor and uses the Xp operating system.  It has built in speech to text drivers that work  the with e-mails on the internet and also with Microsoft word 2,002.  I believe this speech to text system is compatible with Hal.  The computer is a Sony VAIO laptop.  All of this type of technology is new to me so I have a lot to learn.  

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.  

Steve.

I want to order the upgrade.  Does Zabaware ship international.
