Video of Dave talking to HAL's evil sister: Hallie who has a sweet voice but a bad personality. Dave uses Voice and Speech Recognition software to communicate with Hallie. Dave tries to get Hallie to respond, check emails, and work with Excel. Hallie is always checking with Dave to see if he is OK.

How this was done:
e-Speaking allows for voice responses to commands. The {Resume} action was used so that the computer would not need a specific document to send keystrokes.

  • that is really cool what is the name of the song in the backround :)

  • It is the opening theme Stanley Kubrick's Space Odyssey 2001 which is borrowed from Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra (or "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" in English). This theme has become associated with the film and its imagery and themes.

  • Is he reading from a script? Meaning He programmed the responses to his words?

    Iono. Kewl vid tho =)

  • Yes. I am reading from a script. The computer is also reading from a type of script. As I read my lines, the computer listens and responds as programmed. This is a simulated conversation. My computer really doesn't care if I say "please" or "thank you".

    But it is interesting to think about it. What if the computer did care?

    I know there are other voice recognition videos posted on-line. But I don't think there were any showing this kind of conversation.

  • Oh, so you dont actually set the command In game, you just set a Phrase to a Key that is set to something in the game

  • e-Speaking is Voice and Speech Recognition software to allow you to command and control your computer using technologies from Microsoft. Whever keyboard or mouse actions that you can perform in your game, you can program a voice command in e-Speaking to perform that keyboard or mouse action for you.
