It's not posted anywhere yet, mainly because it's incomplete. If I get 
some time to finish it, I will. Though why someone would desire a 
synthetic copy of my voice is beyond me.

It could be your accent; the speech recognition engine only works with 
American English for now. I know Andre had to really accentuate his 
phonemes to get the software to accept them. By the way, if anyone 
cares, the archive where I play with my own model talker voice is from 
May 6, 2006. GO grab it if you want a larf.

Hey steve, Patrick, anyone else (who's done this),
I'm having problems unfortunately.  I can't get past the first one "do 
you understand what I'm saying?"  It's recording perfectly (as I hear 
it when I go into the file within the directory itself), but every 
time I try and record that sentence it says "too low, too quiet and 
not clear". but it's stuck on the first one so am not sure what it's 
comparing it too or what's wrong with the recording.  When I just try 
and hit the save button it just repeats that same audio prompt. *grrr 
Anyone know what could be going on?

The trick is that it's more tedious than anything else. Getting

Re: The Talk2 List GPS and Mobile Speak

2006-08-17 Thread Vanja Sudar



I don't use mobilespeak, but I know that wayfinder 
works well with talks, although the latest version didn't work that well with 
previous version of talks, but not sure how well it'd work with MS. Sure MS 
works well with most things, but in my opinion talks has always been in front 
with support for third party aps, so hmm yeah OK I'm not really answering the 
question. I guess the best thing'd be to try wayfinder demo and see how it goes 
from there.
