Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hal talks to it self!

« on: August 24, 2007, 03:15:54 pm »

Yeah, I thought someone might have something to say about the mic being "off..." But alright, It seemed like that might be the case, that the Hal's SR Engine actually dose mute the mic when Hal is speaking.  But if a outside "third party" SR engine is being used, like the one built into vista, it has no control over that. I'll see if I can disable Vista's and use Hal's and see if it works any better.  I could always just use a headset or headphones to - the easiest fix. But thats all I was really wondering, if had had a feature like that.  Thanks.

P.S. I looked around to see if anyone had asked a similar question, different keywords or something I guess. If you have a link to a post where it was asked before I'd be interested in reading it. I know that I have brought this "mute mic" topic up in another form for a similar product Verbot, but, so far Hal appears to be a much more advanced peice of software. Honestly I think I'm just trying to find something that really doesn't exist yet.

True, but when it "hears" it self, 1, it is not accurately interpreted through the speech reconginiton, so it's mostly gibberish, and 2, what is says is heard and reentered as MY response.



See, it said "Women find rich old men so adorable; their money is just coincidental after all" and "Where are all excellent were all air lines jet service all" was entered as MY response.  I didn't say anything, and if I had it would have been mixed in with the response above making it that much more incoherent.

Yes human hear what they say, some like myself even respond to what I say from time to time, but I can not recall a time where I said something, heard it as something completely different, and responded as if someone else had said it to me.




What?[?][:0]

Its a common issue with chatbots and speech recognition where the bots voice will be picked up on the mic and it will just start talking to itself. It seems to me that this could be so easily fixed if the bot could simply MUTE the mic input whenever it speaks.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or if perhaps hal does do this and I have just missed something.
