Title: vista speech reconization
Post by: cooldog on January 09, 2008, 09:01:32 PM: i was wondering if there is some free softwere that will work with vista speech without a micocontroller. some thing that i can adapt, EX "turn on tv" and the program sends power out throught a port and down a wire to a remote to turn the tv on? mabe it could go through word

So that lets say just for example (I highly doubt this is true though) but lets just say the IR frequency that the remote outputs to turn the TV on is 16.865Hz. Say to your computer: "Computer, Television On" and the program will send a 16.865Hz signal to a little IR emitter and such.... obviously there would be a lot more involved here but you know what im saying :P

Look around my blog for info on how the Speech Recognition actually works.

Speech recognition is quite easy to program in .NET and vista, if you had some .NET programming background. Just google for "C# speech recognition". It's few lines of code. I don't know how about USB-IRDA connectors.

cooldog i think you are a bit confused ! Bluetooth is a way of communication ( like USB and serial )
What is possible however, is to have a microphone that has Bluetooth on it and connect it wirelessely to the PC. Then talking to the microphone ( which can be positioned on the robot) the sound will be wirelessly transfered to PC and then you can do what you want from there.

But also, what are you trying to build cooldog?
