VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Re: wolfram.xml

« on: March 27, 2015, 03:31:05 AM »

I just got it to paste into VC . I opened the file that I saved in notepad with Brackets text editor and then I copied it from Brackets into VC and it pasted. I think there must be some encoding problem because I saved it in notepad as utf -8 which was the best encoding notepad had although the xml file states utf-16.
I don't why an interim step was needed but at least it worked.
I am now going to actually try to use now.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the help. I did have a blank line for some reason even selecting <select>.
I took out the blank line by pasting it into notepad and did a copy and paste from there with the same results.
I wanted to try it on my W7 machine but VC was giving all kinds of nonsense just trying to install it.
I want to try the Skype again
( I did have it working when I originally installed it on VC and then Skype said that it was not supporting 3rd party add-ons) however that appears to have changed according to your results.
I have Cortana on a W10 technical preview machine but it doesn't give the level of interaction that can be programed into VC.  Cortana currently doesn't even have the level of performance as it does on the phone.

Boy am I starting to feel stupid. I tried several times again with same results.  I pasted the selected command (last time also) into notepad and it seems like a valid xml file.
The instruction video was pretty straight forward so I am at a loss. I even changed the xml file association from Brackets to VC figuring just maybe.....
As far as the Skype plugin goes when I originally tried working with it and Skype several months ago, Skype had just upgraded an said that 3rd party apps would no longer work.  However Skype has been upgraded at least twice since then and they must have re-enabled this feature.
PS they have been working some of the bugs in W8.1 and I have all the updates installed.

Hey, despite my witty comments I give you guys a lot of credit for the work that you do.
I like speech recognition for speech recognition's sake and although I am not into media and even home automation per se I am trying to put together a comprehensive total home system. I tried the VC plugin into Skype only to find that Skype had disabled that feature. I am currently running an Insteon and a Staples hub with a couple of controllers on each. I ordered Amazon echo but it isn't coming until JUNE-JULY. I have Cortana on one machine running W10 tech preview but the implementation isn't nearly as good as on the Windows phone.
I am not trying to do much with any one thing but would like to put together all the small pieces together
ALTHOUGH it makes it a lot more difficult when I can't even paste the wolfram.xml into VC.

Thanks for the reply.
I am using W8.1, voxcommando.exe, v 2.133 & v2.14.2. I tried your xml thinking that there may be a difference from the one I copied several times and but I still get a "invalid XML" when I try to paste it in the command tree.
Pet peeve: When VC comes out with a new feature they usually put out a video showing it working but not how to get it to work.

I would really put "south" for the verification answer but I don't want to have to retype this ahain because I was trying to be "cute".
