Voice recognition

[Urme webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hello everyone, has anyone ever worked with voicerecognition and a Director project. I would like to get the voice software to recognise the name of a person, and then import the name in a string to be able to process it (speech Xtra and stuff...)
thanks for your help!

Hi,

I have used voice recognition in a Director project and gotten some reasonable results, but I had to write my own activeX control to do it. I don't think that there any Xtras currently available becuase I spent quite a while searching for one.

The project I was involved in was based more on recognising words from a specific list (i.e. I knew all the possible words to look out for), but if you go the same route as I did (Microsoft Speed API via ActiveX) then there is support for dictation grammars which might allow you to recognise peoples names. Although I'm not sure how good the results will be.

Hope this helps,
