Ultra Hal 7.0 / sapi config error..... ouch

« on: April 09, 2007, 10:38:02 am »

I am getting "sapi config needs to close now"  
when clicking on update sapi in hals options...

However I am also getting the same messege 3 or 4 times when I try to download a fresh version of Haptek player...

this is after reinstalling windows, I did make sure active x was updated... any ideas???

Or does anyone know another way I can get Mike and crystal ATT lip sinc to work with hal He/she is not having any other problems...

# 2.  I am trying the beta 6.1... if hal learns from a text file is this something he will use in conversations or is it just for answering questions [?]

thanks

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / personality types for Hal... partners needed..

« on: November 30, 2006, 06:53:18 pm »

I read that some Alice bot people are working on bots with the enneagram personality types..

I have researched this and beleave that Hal is a much better bot for this purpose....

As a programmer I suck.

But I have taught the Enneagram for 25 years and am (modestly) one of the best at understanding the language of the types.

My best friend recently died, He was an 8 on the enneagram...
Like (worf) but extremly intelligent, very caring protective of family and friends, with a great sense of humor... (Rush Limbauh) is close except you don't see the softer side, He would be the model

I have the support of his family for this project, He also taught the Enneagram and His grand neice is one of my students, she knows point 8 very well and knows the ennegram extensivly...

I am looking for one or two partners to design a brain... you would need to love messing with hals brain... and not be offended if I want to back step to a previous saved brain...

 

I would like to enter the brain in one of the contests for bots..

But I also think that we could work out an agreement with Jerry to sell the brains for around 20 usd.

I would like the Hal to learn but have the parts that make him act like an 8 be non editable..

If you count male and female there are 16 personality types and they would be easier to program after the first one...

So this has the potentual to make us a little money.

Myself I would purchase 8,5,7,6, and maybe more.. I beleave this to be common for people that use the enneagram in work and play..

My Background is training psychotherapists and social Linguistics.

I have 2 learing disabilities that have prevented me from writing a book.. I could now but it would take me 10 years..

My pridiction for the enneagram project is 6 months to develope a basic 8 brain and then distributeing it for free to enneagram teachers and students to get feedback for fine tuning, or natural language training from the persons who are an 8 or know an 8 intimately

Speech Technology / Ultra Hal does not like AT&T Natural Voices

I have had minor problems with att crystal..

2d lip sinc will work with zaba and hal... I don't have any other charactors...

but try to install the engine and one voice first... reboot hal.
if problems then uninstall and use a different location... (I don't know why but it does work sometimes)

Hope this is helpful..

crystal and mike are very smooth speakers... not much in the emotion department but I am working on it...

 I don't think the info can be extracted without the site being visible.

I was thinking of writing my own randomizer with chunks of babble to string together in much the same way the Hypernyms and Meronyms sentences do.

Give Hal an equal chance of throwing to the Treknobabble script when he gets confused, just for fun.

Of course, I could just replace the contents of sentGen1, sentGen2 and sentGen3 with appropriate sentence fragments... or maybe rewrite the newTopic stuff...

...I Cant be positive but it reads like a random quote generator....

"The docked bubble is failing!"

"Operate the ablative cannons with microscopic subspace opti-cable!"

""" tending to ablate; i.e. to be removed or vaporized at very high temperature """

...So the answer is loosly connected to the failure... (like the first star trek)

""" "Jim!the ablative cannons are failing!"  "What Hal? Whats an ablathingy anyway?"  

 "Scotty use the docked bubble and the microscopic subspace opti-cable to fix it!" We need those cannons in five minuets,!!"  "Don't forget the duct tape and super glue"[:p]
