General Discussion / Training voices in Voxcommando

« on: January 29, 2015, 04:09:21 PM »

Really odd. I am using the Microsoft Kinect and it can hear my voice fine and respond with 90% accuracy, but I cannot seem to trigger it with my wife's voice. Voxcommando pretty much ignores her. Has anyone else had this type of issue?

Hi;

I would like to try to use this, but I can't seem to make it work.

Your xml file is empty so I copied the two sections in to a group.

I can get it to save the reminder to the log but it never does trigger the reminder.

Is there anything special that needs to be done to trigger the reminder?

Thank You, looks like a great xml!

XML Exchange / Another time telling script

« on: January 28, 2015, 03:03:35 AM »

This is my first script in VoxCommando, so please be gentle. This is a really simple script that will report the time and date with a respectful human reaction flare.

Enjoy

"Open air" and "whole home" microphones / Re: What about this thought using it with Kinect

« on: January 27, 2015, 10:57:54 PM »

This particular processor is the atom so it can run full windows.

Intel® Atom™ Processor Z3735F

Should be interesting now that the embedded market has a true windows processor for running
a full version.

"Open air" and "whole home" microphones / What about this thought using it with Kinect

« on: January 27, 2015, 03:35:19 PM »

I have been curious how to implement voice automation throughout the entire house. I am wondering if these devices will work with Microsoft Kinect and windows vox commando. Does anyone have any input? Also can you tell me if you have or maybe working on a strip down version of voxwav for windows? Something that will relay voice command back to a central vox commando controller.

Here is the item I am curious about

What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / Re: Kinect 360

« on: January 24, 2015, 07:11:43 PM »

HI all;

I am new to Voxcommando and I'm really anxious to play with my 360 kinect with it. I have been racking my brain for 4 days trying to make it work. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to fix the problem.

I have Voxcommando running on Windows 8.1. I have a AMD 8350 processor with the asus a578-usb mother board.

I've installed the 1.8 sdk and the developer tools 1.8, in my device manager it shows the windows kinect devices with no problems everything installed correctly. Under sound card it shows a usb kinect device but when I goto to sounds under control panel it does not show the kinect microphone installed.

I can bring the camera up under the developer tools but I just cannot make the mic work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I maybe doing wrong or a piece of software that I need to install to make it work?

Any help much appreciated!
