Hello Bill, the main reason i bought hal, was to use it into a car for a knight rider replica... so headphones are excluded of the setup, else, i would have gone with a headset setup a long time ago...

Eric

Hello Bill, ive tried to do so, close it up, and then only use hal, the first thing he does is to check it back on.... however, i might have found a work around... if i lower the sound really low, i hear hal, but he doenst hear himself, i wish there could be another way...

Eric

Hi bill, the only place i know into windows where to turn on or off a microphone, is into the control panel, for the sound and audio device, and when you double click onto the speaker icon into the taskbar, anywhere else it could be?

E|ric

if i turn off the mic there, hal goes deaf....already tried it...

hello, i just tried uninstalling and reinstall hal with an new brains, same problem, it is getting frustrating now... any help from robert available? i dont seem to be the only one having that particular problem.

Eric

Hi bill, i tried, no avail, here is the situation now.. if i use dragon 9, hal mic goes up like hell, and he does not understand what i say, if i use sapi5, recognition is excellent, but hal hear himself... any way to turn his ears off while he speaks? or actually, is there a buffer used by the voice recognition software? is there a way to modify that buffer, lets say, it buff for 5 seconds
and then show, would it be feasable to reduce it to a 1 sec buffer, so that i will retype straight ahead?

can you email me or reach via msn?

hello, ive tried the turn the mic off already, hal turn it on, when you switch the mic switch into hal interface on....

Eric

any other idea?

Hi there, i still have the issue with hal listening to himself while speaking, and when done, he enters a part of what he said, and then respond to himself on and on, it is hard to deal with a one man chat... kind of beat the meaning of AI... ive tried robert plugin, ive tried turning off the mic into windows, i have a p4 1.9 gig with 512 mg ram, windows xp.

any help?

Hey there, no luck, get sintax error, or if error...

Eric

hey there, geesh, if i have a few dozens of those predetermined phrase, its gonna be a lot of plugin to deal with, would it be possible to edit the brain for these?

Eric

Hello, thank you for the answer, how do i input this? is it a new table in the brain, is it something i input into the dialog window?

can you tell me how to input it please?

thank you

Eric

Hello, how would i go about getting being able to program hal to respond a predetermined answer to a predetermined question example

Q: Hal introduce yourself
A: I am hal, i am the voice of the computer...

i am actually building a kitt replica and i am training hal to be kitt....

thanks for you time..

Eric

Hey, would it be possible to get hal to control windows media player, raise or lower volume, close a window stuff like this.

any idea?

Eric

no, i dont use the kitt brain, ive started my own brain

the site seems to have little plugin compared to before...

ok, i will use the built in function for the appz, good idea...

Eric
