My KITT VoiceBox v3

[lordshafer]

i have Karr v3 with the KARRCB.EXE, how do you want me to sent it to you? I dont see a link to PM you

[lordshafer]

@lordshafer never mind I found it and sent u a message with a rapidshare link

[RodrigoMJ32]

the f11 and others do not work, could it be a different one????

[ultraphoennix]

how can i make talk like how can i talk to him?

[dmcemmet]

@ultraphoennix You can't talk to him. It's just a dump mp3 player that looks like KITT dashboard

[ultraphoennix]

@dmcemmet Well do you know any kind of software like that?

[dmcemmet]

@ultraphoennix Nope, I'm not really interested in that. Voice recognition software and AI that would respond like a real person are extremely hard to write. There are some much simplier apps that tries to compare input sound with existing database of sounds, match them and provide some prerecorded answer, but those solutions are very unsatisfactory.

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Did you programmed it by yourself?

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 yes

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Programming language you used?

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 C++

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Oh fucking shitty crap... I can never learn this fucking C++, because it is fucking stupidly hard.

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 It's easier than it looks. At least easier than x86 assembler

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Okay....

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet But what language you programmed firstly? C++?

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 In school I have learned basics of Pascal, but I thought this language is rubbish, so I started to learn C++ on my own. But nowadays I don't use C++ too much (mostly to program ARM based embedded systems), for desktop projects I use C#.

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Yes... I've heard that Pascal is c***. You ever heard of C? I am learning C, but it doesn't help much anymore.. C is made to write short programs. But what compiler do you use to program C++?

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 C++ is in fact something like an extension for C that adds some objectivity to it. You can compile C program in C++ compiler. And C isn't really meant for short programs. Almost entire Linux kernel is written in C and that's a HUUUUUGE project.

About C++ compilers: it depends on purpose. For embedded systems I use GCC, for desktop applications MSVC.

If you struggle with C/C++ try higher level programming language like Java. I know that pointers can really be pain in the neck.

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Java is a pain. I know that Pointers are advanced, but Java "Hello World" is even harder than C "Pointer"... Sry, try to understand me, i'm not really good at English.

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 And the code itself is much easier to read. For example simple write to console function:

C: puts(char*);

C++: cout<<string;

C#: Console.Write(string);

Java: System.out.println(string);

Of course you have to (assuming you are using simple text editor or IDE without code completion feature) write more character in Java and C#, but you can see what this function does without knowing the language at all.

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet No need to tell me really... I cannot understand it anyways :D.. But i am using the Code::Blocks compiler. Can you publish the video tutorial to this?

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 Good choice of IDE! Simple yet effective. I used it for some time, but I needed integrated debugger and code autocompletion so I moved on to Visual Studio.

I don't have time for making tutorial for this (especially since I didn't use any of the libraries that are neccessary for this program). I can send you a source code for this if you PM me your e-mail.

dmcemmet 1 s temu

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Sad that you don't have time to do the tutorial, but some ideas for the Voicebox v5: Some funny functions (speed up song function etc.), and some primary functions (a song can be played from internet). I don't want to say it bad, but i don't like the v4. V3 is the best in my opinion.

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 v4 was born by accident ;) I was learning ActionScript 3 and I thought redoing KITT would be fun

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Okay.. But are you planning to make v5 sometimes?

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 Maybe. Who knows. It would be rather spontaneous

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Could you get me the tutorial for beginner of C? I've searched alot, but i will never find any tutorial that is suitable for my level in Programming Language C.

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 Every good tutorial fo C I know is in my native language, so I doubt they would be usefull to you. The only thing i can think of is Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++". This book teaches both C and C++ (in horribly boring but efficient way IMHO).

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet I know that books are good to train, but i am not living in USA or US. I am living in Estonia (many people aren't even heard of this town). But how about a computer tutorial (sites, etc.)?

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet And how can i add you as friend in YouTube? I want to PM you my email so you can send me the source code for VoiceBox v3.

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 There should be a "send message" link in info section of my YT channel (you may have to click "featured" tab just under header)

[thekill761]

@dmcemmet Message sent.

[dmcemmet]

@thekill761 I'm not very good at English either;p

In Java you have to understand just one thing: objects. Eveything is an object. And everything in Java's class library is very well organised. Of course there is much more to write just to created a basic code structure, but beyond that there is much less work to do writing main portion of program. You don't have to know exactly how function is called, you just have to know where to look for it (in which class).

[cdery222]

Děkuju pošlete mi potom email na martinlicehamr@seznam.cz ?

[dmcemmet]

@cdery222 OK

[cdery222]

PS : Do této veze ;)

[cdery222]

You can start playing tag on the? I need music.mp3 and yes it plays itself. Please make a new version with this improvement. Perhaps it would be futile to add full-screen. Thank you

Excuse my bad English, I am Czech.

[dmcemmet]

@cdery222 Sorry, i can't understand you. I'm from Poland, so maybe i will understand you if you write in Czech :)

[cdery222]

Můžete začít hrát na parametr? Myslím že spustím např music.mp3 a soubor hraje sám bez nového spuštění programu. Prosím vybavte novou verzi tímto vylepšení, budu moc vděčný. Možná by jste mohl skusit FULLSCREEN funkci. Děkuju

[dmcemmet]

@cdery222 Now I understood you :)

Most of yours features will be easy to implement, but I can't do anything about controlling already running program via command line. It would be like running program with selected song to autoplay.

I will check tommorow if I can manage this code to compile on Visual Studio (I don't use MinGW based compilers anymore), if it will work i will code this features for you. :)

[SSJSonGohanSSJ]

GREAT !!

[Mrhksdrift]

Can I add my own sounds

[ownerfromfinland]

mine isnt working ,i did this all and its just not working it seas the first thing butt then nothing happens ,i mean i cant do anything after the first sound , SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

[eldorado303]

there should be a voice synthesizer with this speech style, would be fun

[dmcemmet]

Megaupload has some issues lately. Sometimes files are inaccessible. Try to download it later

[hartnsoul84]

@dmcemmet Can this be used for PSP??

[dmcemmet]

@hartnsoul84 I don't think so. This is Windows app and it requires Windows to run. Theoretically you can install (on cracked PSP) app called Dosbox and on it you can install Windows 95 or 98. It can be run from there, but i don't know if perfomance will be satisfying (maybe it won't run at all because of lack of DirectX support). But i think it's really waste of time.

[dmcemmet]

@hartnsoul84 You can set a boot screen that looks exactly like this: watch?v=9eSr59rji4I&feature=re­lated [add youtube.com at the beginning](this was created by shinerunner01, ask him for details)

[4StarDragon2]

download link is down :(

[Saber082]

nice project, I tried to implement a voice recognition software but there are problems with the macro..

Is there a way to start the audio files without going through the black window?

(I mean the file selection dialog)

For example: c: \ kittcb.exe -p filename.mp3

Also if you use a bitmap instead of a black background would be more customizable as you did with the other buttons :)

[alvelaev]

can i use it this in a game gta san andreas  knight rider mod?

[dmcemmet]

@alvelaev If u will implement whole Windows API in GTA:SA as a mod you could use it ;) So the answer is no. U should ask authors of the GTA:SA KR mod to do something similiar.

[XMilleniumProd]

thank you for making this. this is great!

[shawnhbkdx90]

can it play any music?

[dmcemmet]

@shawnhbkdx90 as you can see yes, it can

[discoveryman]

ok...ive got it ...but how do i install it?

[dmcemmet]

@discoveryman Just find and run KITTCB.exe file in KITT or KARR folders

[discoveryman]

@dmcemmet i figured it out a bit later...

what happened was i had a bad download...a few parts were missing but after the second download it was all there.

thanks though.

[Knight2OOO]

why is my virus protection telling me this is a dangerous program?

[dmcemmet]

@Knight2OOO Which antivirus? Many antivirs overeacts on some apps. If you trust me you can run it safely, if you don't delete it.

[LandShark151]

Download link isnt working right.. It Freezes halfway through download... Tried several times =(

[dmcemmet]

@LandShark151 maybe megaupload had some technical problem. It works fine for me.

[LandShark151]

@LandShark151 yeah it cleared up downloaded now  how do you make it play music and sounds?

[dmcemmet]

@LandShark151

F11 - open file

I - KITT introduce

F12 - play KR theme

O/P - start/stop scanner noise

ESC - quit

[fastrider2006]

It does not open the media files when I press the F11 button.

[fastrider2006]

@fastrider2006 Sorry it works... GREAT WORK

[The2Coolest2]

this is mad cool man im subscribing sub to me!!!! I love Karr and KITT

[BLACKTHORNTK1]

hey can i get the lnk for the downlaod of this thanks

[BLACKTHORNTK1]

hey can i get the link to this download too thanks

[dmcemmet]

@BLACKTHORNTK1 Just read clip description

[dbzwoot]

i wanna a a kitt program who talks to me. i ask something with microphone and kitt answer

[dmcemmet]

I wanna it too ;) In fact it's possible, but it would react only to sound, it won't recognize what are you saying. Maybe someday in a distant future there will be good speech recognition system with good API, advanced AI and speech synthesizer with KITT-like voice. Just maybe.

[cprich22]

u can get them for cars

[clawcarboy18]

@dmcemmet actually, this is very possible, microstoft and dragon software both have quite good voice recognision software and SAPI's

e-speaking is a cheap voice recognition software wich (after some practice) works quite well!

[6250valtra]

cool program

[DE4715]

you should make one that is voice activated.

[mattkaythetimelord]

very good! I have one thing to say:Make a better one.

[SSJSonGohanSSJ]

thank you thats prog is really cool ;) 5*

[dmcemmet]

I'm glad to hear that :)

[Jessehond]

i really like the program if you hafe made this tham you are really good sorry for the bad inglish i hafe the program to

[lillecool93]

what is name of the song

[dmcemmet]

Genesis - Jesus he knows me

[showtimeman5673]

I have a karr, is it possible that you will do a full function karr vox?

[dmcemmet]

What do you mean "full fuction"? I have transformed KITT vbox into KARR vbox and packaged it with KITT in single archive (link in the description).

[racguy1183]

Can this program run on a macbook cuz that's what i've got?

[dmcemmet]

Nope, this won't run on OSX. I don't have Mac, so I can't make this app working on OSX.

[dmcemmet]

I have wrote it in C++.

[thesteely1]

I love this program. Thank You VERY Much!! after loads of web surfing i have a good KITT. I have downloaded other KITT MP3 voices. How can i create a shortcut key to each mp3 KITT's voice file just like you have? your advice would be very appriciated. Thanks form a masive Knight Rider Fan!!

p.s. (Not got any experience of c++ if need or got the prog)

[dmcemmet]

You cannot make any additional key bindings yet. Someday I will make such feature.

I'm glad to hear that you like my program :)

[coolnerd92]

i can only get the theme song 2 play and others if i rename the file i want it to play can u help me get it 2 play other music mp3s?

[dmcemmet]

F11- open any MP3 file you have on hard drive.

[nikvo011]

i can only get this thing to say the first thing nothing else

[dmcemmet]

F11 - open mp3 file

I - KITT introduce

F12 - play KR theme

O/P - start/stop scanner noise

ESC - quit

[nikvo011]

with F11 does it do it in the kitt voice style or the song style?

[dmcemmet]

F11 will open any mp3 file you select in open file window

[taltigolt]

didnt work for me i use vista X64 ultimate all it did was go to vista basic look the window is black

[NecroPhil85]

If you want it to run on Windows Vista, be sure to run in Admin mode (just a simply advice if someones wonderin if it's not working) :)

[adliikhwan280]

or we can do this

Right click > propeties > compatibality

then check the check box named

run this program in compatibality mode

[eddituss]

Hey!

What a great program. In what language is ti made? Does it run on Linux?

Do you have published it?

Congratulations, no matter your answer is!

Cheers

[dmcemmet]

There is a link to windows ver. in film description. About Linux ver. - gfx engine will work on Linux (Allegro game library), but i don't know how to rewrite sfx part to work in Linux (at this time it's using winmm library, so it won't work native on Linux, but propably win ver will run on wine or cedega). Oh, and i have wrote it in c++.

[coolnerd92]

it b so cool if u made kitt talk on Trackmania Nations Forever if u can plz help me do so and ect

[djchiccomix]

programm ???

[darkExodius]

do you uploaded the programm somewhere??

i love it!!! ^^

[darkExodius]

oh wow, that's awesome :D

[dmcemmet]

Thanks :)

[mellee53]

send my the program please
