FuzzyDice,
Welcome to the forum!
What they said!
Hal doesn't really "learn" as much by reading
from a text file as it does by just chatting
with it as Crunch mentioned. Speech recognition
works but is also prone to misinterpretation by
not just Hal but most other SR programs. It's not
quite an exact science just yet.
There is a lot in the works for Hal right now
in the way of enhancing it's brain functions,
staying more on topics of discussion and even
upgrading it to operate from or call upon a
more modular or database style system.
There are a number of scripts available to
experiment with and plenty of really great
people on this forum to assist you should you
ever encounter a problem or question.
However, before posting a question, take a moment
to scan through the forum's archives to see if
it was previously discussed. Chances are it may
have been.
Use the SEARCH feature at the top of the page. It
works pretty well.
Yes, several of us have and use the Haptek program
to create our own characters. There are several
companies that offer voices that compliment the
Haptak character's personality as is a matter of
individual taste / preference.
Bottom line: Hal is a really nice bang for the buck!
It's fun and it's only going to get better and smarter.
In reference to your desire to do something with your
car / house / whatever, check out this guy's site! He's
over the top with the home control thing!
