Do you have Balaboklka installed in the default directory, and set-up with the same voice you use in UltraHal?

Please see the "GRETTA Plugins" topic in the "file sharing area"
"News and Weather Feed" can do it. You will also need Balabolka -

READ THE WHOLE POST CAREFULLY
There is also a readme file in the plugin .zip file.

Hal can "speak" the current news and weather. Note: the word "CURRENT" and "LATEST" are interchangable.
This is NOT compatible with vrRSS.uhp. REQUIRES: BALABOLKA tts program and internet connection.
Just say- CURRENT NEWS or LATEST TECHNOLOGY NEWS
or CURRENT NATIONAL NEWS or CURRENT FINANCIAL NEWS
or LATEST WORLD NEWS or CURRENT ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
or LATEST SPORTS NEWS or LATEST POLITICAL NEWS
or LATEST SCIENCE NEWS or CURRENT HEALTH NEWS
or LATEST TRAVEL NEWS or CURRENT ODD NEWS or LATEST WEATHER
or LATEST FORECAST or LATEST WEATHER FOR zipcode
or CURRENT FORECAST FOR zipcode

ie. WHAT IS THE CURRENT SCIENCE NEWS
or GIVE ME THE LATEST WEATHER FORECAST FOR 90210
or WHAT IS THE CURRENT WEATHER

or PLEASE SEARCH FOR NEWS ABOUT "subject"
or PLEASE SEARCH FOR "subject" NEWS

NOTE: There is a place clearly marked in the plugin for the default zip code. (your zipcode for default weather location)
just edit the plugin to change it. VERY EASY EDIT- SECTION CLEARLY MARKED

no lipsync because Balabolka is not controlling the haptek/msagent character.
the "news and weather feed", "research", "sing a song", and "read a story" plugins use large amounts of text, and therefore can't be processed by UltraHal as a response.
UltraHal also has issues with processing text with certain syntax like \ and / - therefore "sing a song" plugin has issues with hal other than the actual singing.

Hal needs these things in my opinion:
1- be able to parse response text one line at a time, instead of dumping the entire response to the sapi and character engines.
*this will solve two issues - lenth of text/response would not be an issue, and UltraHal would know when it is done talking.
2- be able to speak/read any text no matter syntax
3- have a search function in the editor that can search all tables at once instead of just one at a time.

I don't know much about character control, or else i might try to make a program to have balabolka control the characters.
that would solve all of the issues.

You might talk to SNOWMAN - he created a program , which might be able to solve some of these issues.

I suggested that a separate Hal control could be added that would (for lack of a better word) stimulate Hal (as when you press enter). Hal could then be stimulated at will from any script.

That would mean a plugin could be made that would feed a large text line by line into Hal's Haptar for reading. When one line was read.. then Hal would be re-stimulated to then load a second line and so forth and so on.

This would open up access to many other programs as well. The HalVisionX for instance currently uses sendkeys... but sendkeys are sometimes a hit and miss solution. If there was a hidden stimulation button (or whatever) then outside programs could relay new information to Hal and Hal would respond instantly to this new information.

For instance, a new email just arrives....
so you have a script that monitors emails and now relates to Hal that a new email has arrived.
This email monitoring script would also stimulate Hal via the hidden button (or whatever) and Hal would then read that new information instantly.

a simple plugin would allow for the reading of these freshly acquired messages.


Live long and prosper or die trying.
