VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Re: can't find command: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

« on: February 08, 2016, 04:48:05 PM »

In answer to my own question, I originally re-installed VC over it'self on my D: drive, a clean install on my E: drive has solved this issue.

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / can't find command: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

« on: February 08, 2016, 04:31:14 PM »

I've recently re-installed windows 7 & thus re-installed VC.

I've restored my VC back up but am finding anything to do with windows navigation (page up, page down, scroll down, minimise, maximise window etc) is not working & I get the error message in the history windows "can't find command: The given key was not present in the dictionary."

I'm also getting this error?
"unexpected error:
System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
   at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key)
   at eval_g.eval_ᜀ(String A_0, Int32 A_1)
   at eval_g.eval_ᜀ(String A_0,"

Any advice as to what I have done wrong?

General Discussion / Re: Launching shortcuts from the {Path.VC} Questions

« on: January 09, 2016, 01:04:40 AM »

Using a bunch of the above this is what I do for my desktop shortcuts.
My shortcuts are located in the default win 7 directory.

So this will update your desktop icons, create & fill the required payload & then open whichever shortcut you want.

Code: [Select]

Integration Ideas / Re: Perform "Ok Google" search?

« on: January 08, 2016, 11:17:09 PM »

Good idea, never really used google voice search but it does work well.

Couple of questions, is there a way to get VC to pause until google has loaded, problem is sometimes this is one second, some times 10 seconds. I can't put in the left click until the microphone icon is visible?www.google.co.uk

The other question is my mouse co-ordinates don't always go to where they should, but sometimes they do. Maybe a topic for another topic but thought I'd mention.

Actually there is a hotkey of Ctrl + Shift + . (period) that will start voice search when your on the google page. Only problem is I don't know how we send . (period) into VC but it's a better option as web pages change design & the mic icon will no doubt be put somewhere else at some point.

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Re: Getting to grips with payloads, the human touch - Personalisation

« on: January 08, 2016, 10:31:48 PM »

I have an audio track which starts & the VC does some TTS stuff.

The audio track is longer than the TTS phrase & because the TTS length differs depending on the payload read out the audio can't be set to a specific time.

Is there a way to stop the audio when the TTS finishes, & also doing a fade out. I can use set.volume to do the fade & then set.volume to bring back to whatever level it was last at, which may be a bit awkward.

Feature Requests / Feature Suggestions

« on: January 08, 2016, 09:05:46 PM »

Adore this program. Few suggestions that would make my life a tad easier.

1. System tray icon. With all the gunk I have in my sys tray it's hard to figure out which is VC. Where as the utorrent icon is beautifully easy to spot.

2. In the voxcommands window could a file save be added. This would be easier to sort out a Save VC command which at the moment I have implemented using mouse control but it's a bit hit & miss.

3. Alphabetical order. Is it possible to arrange trees, sub directories & commands in alphabetical order?

4. Cloud backup & sync with 2nd PC. Yeah okay I'm pushing it!!!

What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / Re: Amulet Voice Remote

« on: January 08, 2016, 08:55:30 PM »

Just to say after reading this thread yesterday I googled, amazon'd & ebayed but couldn't find this mic anywhere & the companies home page doesn't want to work.

Something like this would be very useful for when music or video is playing but instead I have bought an HP RF Media remote which as well as being useful for programming my harmony one I'll tie it into a one button press to mute volume & resume VC.

What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / Re: Microphone Comparison Matrix

« on: January 08, 2016, 08:52:09 PM »

Wasn't sure what / how to add anything on the VoxCommando Microphone Matrix so have posted here.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Microphones-Snowball-iCE-Microphone/dp/B006DIA77E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452299245&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+snowball
Blue Snowball USB Mic £34.99 on Amazon UK



I bought this mic around a year back, don't usually listen to myself on it. When I did record myself the sound quality was deep & hiss free. Sounded good to me.

This mic is on a 5 meter usb extension & generally sits around 2 to 3 feet away.
I find recognition to be fantastic.

Looking at the front of the mic I presume it is directional, (I know nothing re mics). I have it on my side table putting across my room, approx 6 meters.

The mic picks up when I enter the room which is approx 12 meters away.

Recognition wise the mic (& Vox  ) pick up on mumbles ie, page down & more pronounced speech ie PAGE DOWN.

Of course as the mic picks up so well it does also pick up a lot of mucis & video speech & VC does stuff!
Of course this is down to me building commands to stop this.

My two penneth worth

Absolutely brillo PegLeg, I thought it would be a lot more complicated than a TTS command followed by a {1}
Thanks for that :-)
