Bug Reports / "Don't be a dork" makes Vox hang

« on: October 13, 2021, 05:34:44 PM »

 

Don't be a "anything" usually hangs Vox for me.

https://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=2966.msg25158

The user from the thread above changed Vox from off to standby and it solved the issue. I just changed it from off to standby and it no longer hangs!

2.3.11, using Google Speech

Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / Asking VC if a certain show is on from EGP

« on: February 06, 2021, 04:19:28 PM »

I set up a custom payload:

\Epg12.db
select idEpg, sTitle from epgtags

Titles are now in the payload. I'm stuck on asking VC if a certain show is on or if it will be on. For example: Are the Blackhawks on? When are the Blackhawks on? Is it possible for VC to tell me something like "The Blackhawks will start at 6pm"?

Thanks!

I've noticed that the bit rate is only 32 kbps. Is there a way to up the bitrate to perhaps 128?

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Command line argument to launch Google speech

« on: August 27, 2020, 11:11:57 AM »

Hi,

I'd like to have both Vox and Google speech launch upon computer start. I see an option to start with Windows.

Is there a command line argument to launch vox and Google speech when Windows starts?

Thanks!

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Pushing button on remote control to turn on Vox

« on: December 05, 2017, 08:24:23 PM »

I've set up ducking to turn on Vox by saying a prefix and it works well in quiet environments. I use Kodi and will soft mute while listening for my command. I'd like to do that by pressing the green media center button on my remote. I've read here that using eventghost can accomplish this but no other details. Is there a way to do this? I'm not familiar with eventghost.

Also, I got an Echo dot a few weeks ago and Vox blows it out of the water.

What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / Yeah, I have a Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone

« on: December 28, 2013, 05:09:05 PM »

But it doesn't matter how "good" they are. Open air mics pic up everything. I bought it back in the day and used One Voice Communicator with WMC. It's great when there's no background noise!

So imagine you're watching a movie and suddenly it plays some random song. It thinks you gave the command. Imagine having the crap scared out of you in the process. I simply had to stop using it.

I have ordered the Amulet remote. The on/off function seems ideal to home theater enthusiasts.

If anyone wants a video demo just let me know.

Other Plugins / How do I get started with X10?

« on: December 15, 2013, 09:45:48 AM »

The wiki is vague and so are the options of the plug-in.

Also, does Activehome Pro and Vox need to be on the same machine?
