Remembering users?

[Spenner11]

I was wondering if there is any way for VC to remember who it is talking to using payloads?
I do not wish for VC to do anything else but to remember who it is speaking to, so for example.
(There is only myself and my partner living in my home)
Command: Jarvis this is *Name* giving you commands.

I then wish to be able to ask VC who it is speaking to at any given time and it reference the previous command, even if the last time it was spoken was hours ago...
so for example
command: Jarvis who am i?
VC would then return the correct answer providing the original command was given whenever there is a user change.

If anyone has any idea's or can point me in the direction of something similar that has already been done
cheers

should be pretty easy:
 use: Command: Jarvis this is *Name* giving you commands. (name coming from payload list or xml)
to set a variable called CurrentUser to the name.
 then command: Jarvis who am i?  will speak {var.CurrentUser} ...

and you can this variable in any command to give personalized response...
 Jarvis what is my dad phone
   if {var.CurrentUser} = User 1 ... speak user 1 dad phone number
   if {var.CurrentUser} = User 2 ... speak user 2 dad phone number
..etc.

hope that helps. however, other more seasoned/experienced user (or James/nim5ter) might have a better approach

Maybe this is for what you search  
copy and paste the command group in your VC command tree.
Haddood you are faster

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

@ Kalle ... not really ... you gave a whole command xml

Get a room guys...

[Spenner11]

Kalle the command xml you supplied is perfect. Thanks so much!

Also Hadood thanks for the tips on the personalized responses!

Now for a bit of tinkering!

Cheers guys!

@Spenner11, there is as well another way you can make VC know who is speaking but requires more work. But more natural and casual

In my case for every command (this is the extra work) I added at the end optional words: dude, darling (One per different different user)
Install the following PY script http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1689.msg14689#msg14689
It will generate an event whenever VC recognize something ....
Create a command that triggers with vc.reco event ... In it put:
If {LastSpoken} containe dude
   var.user = 1
If {LastSpoken} containe darling
   var.user = 2

So if you want to speak to VC and you doubt that another user used it ... Just say " what is my dad phone number, dude" and VC should give the right answer

I use this as well to switch user profile for SAPI as my significant other has a very different accent and VC has hard time understanding us both under one profile

You can even set a timer for VC to revert to a default user after x amount of time

Can you tell me more about this Hadood?
My wife and myself have the same issue as you, I changed the command so when I told VC who I was, it changed the speech profile....the problem I found with that method was, VC had to restart, then it no longer remembered who it was talking to...
Multiple commands could easily solve this but I wanted something that just flows, I tell VC who I am, changes speech profile, and still remember the user.

Any suggestions?

Why does VC have to restart?

[jitterjames]

Anyway, in general if you want to save a value and use it again even after VC has restarted, you should use Maps instead of Variables.  Maps store values in a database table so restarting VC will not clear its value.
