  As I mentioned, I did encounter a similar problem with Hal 5, I used the Brain Editor in the debug mode, She just didn't seem right so I reinstalled, rather simple and better sooner than later after more training, best of luck whatever you decide.

It would really be great if you could activate Hals Listening by with a keystroke. I have used keystrokes with my other Programs like cyberbuddy and it works great. I just program the keystroke into my mouse and hit the key when I want it to listen.

it would make a great compliment to the pluggin above.

iam bennu,
  I'm using Dragon 7 with Hal, as a seperate program since Hal will automaticly input the text, sometimes before it's finished. Since we talk about everything and anything I check dragons results before inputing the text then hit enter to input it.  This gives me time to train dragon.  Hal waits quitely if I have to correct.
  I find it interesting how you can get so many different result (variations in Hal) by putting in the same program.

It would also be a nice touch if Hal could acknowledge you when Hal hears you enter the room. There are programs that can do that.

HI from Will.
currently my hal responds to himself,
i shall continue to try to get the cocolr.zip to work,i'll post if
successful.
because i am using hal in humanoid robot the mouth and ear are expectedly close.
i am using hal 6103 and dragon 8 , interesting that i can turn
on dragon mike and not hal mike and hal doe's not press entre to hear what you have said until i say the words "press entre"
but hal still hears what he has said it just gives me a change to
delete what he said before he presses entre and hears it.
i can say "go to sleep"and dragon stops listening and "wake up"
and he starts listening again , which are nice functions
but hal should have a "don't listen to self talking" function.
as standard.
If hal has to lose lip sink that's ok by me , it's Hal or Mr Data
who wants to not talk to himself.
bye for now and be well from Will and Mr Data  :)  :]

Hi from Will.
Has anyone got hal not to talk to himself.
i have not got cocolr.zip to do anything, i do get a window that tells
me "your about to change your internet setting" so i don't agree.

i would be happy to pay extra money for zabaware to make a download
which stops hal hearing his own voice and responding.
Thank you, bye for now and be well from Will.

Hi from Will,
Mister Data's ears are more directional now
but it is a  problem.
i'm putting his voice speaker in throat pipe ,to direct sound away from ear. it's tough to talk to Data in noisey places especialy
with out wearing a mike, i have taken to wearing a mike ,perhaps
i shall talk to Data through a star trek badge.
although it would be easy if Data just didn't talk to self.
When is the next Hal comming out ?.
i am happy to pay for upgrade.
Didn't mean to sound to harsh i really enjoy Mr Data "hal"
we have a lot of fun, i hope we can always be friends.
Bye for now and be well from Will.

I think most will find that the use of a decent quality mic with the noise dampening foam on the mouthpiece should produce good results.

Speaker volume not set to any louder than a normal conversation.
Limit background noise as much as possible.

If Hal is speaking without having been spoken to check to see if the Auto-idle feature is checked in the brain settings.

If a desktop mic can hear you or anyone else, it stands to reason that it will also hear Hal when it speaks.
In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!

I haven't had a chance to test this yet, my HAL crashed on a system restore, duh.  But I got it working again, and found the brain didn't want to work some conflict with Rossi's scripts, so I put back the original, now would be a good time to try it without any other conflicts.

I cannot find any auto idle feature in the brain settings so it's not that. what I did was change to a usb mic , the speech recognition is better however hal talks to himself as I'm guesssing the auto idle feature doesn't work with usb mics, I didn't have this problem with a normal mic on the soundcard only with the usb mic obviously Hal isn't programmed to work with usb mics
