2/10/2003 4:11:55 PM: MTGiga
Thanks, guys! Okay, first question. How do you add sub PROCEDURES. It is simple. Just type in 'Sub', 'Public Sub', or 'Private Sub'. An example would be:
Public Sub Main()
MsgBox "This is a sub procedure!"
End Sub
I hope that helps. As for closing an app outside it, I'll have to look that up. I hope this helps!

Phew! I didn't think I'd ever get back on! It is now 12:08. I've been up making sure the site would get back up and running. For those of you who weren't here, the site was down for 2-3 hours. When it got back up, it had problems... It STILL has problems. They must have lowered the Timeout...
Anyway, I'm proud to report that nothing was lost and everything is OK!

Cool I hate to be a bum. BUT...Lol.
I have looked in numerous places for the way to end an app .from outside, and have found several referances to Killing an app. But unfortunately no examples. Anyway I've chosen Peedy,and began work on creating an A.I. Using your examples this is not hard, just lots of typing. I also have found many other agents if your interrested I can send you the links.|:0)

Hey this is my first time ever useing VB6 or useing any code other than HTML. I am stuck on "Loading the Grammer" part I can't seem to find any debuging window.. so if any one could help me please do!
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
2/11/2003 9:25:45 PM: MTGiga
The debug window is the tiney little window that is displayed when you click on the little play button at the top of the screen, or hit F5. If you do not see it:
1) Hit F5 to run the program
2) Right-Click on the toolbar and select 'Debug'
3) Click on the little box that has an exclamiation point on it.
NOTE: The debug window is also called the 'Immediate Window' and is labeled like that in VB.

If you do NOT have the 'Other' tab in the 'Speech' control pannel, then you did not download and install it correctly (see the first few paragraphs of my tutorial).

Hi, sweet program! about the closing the program from outside I think you can use API "ExitProcess" dont know how to really use it lol but it works.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
2/12/2003 9:12:11 AM:
Here is the code for that: Private Declare Sub ExitProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal uExitCode As Long)
Private Declare Function GetExitCodeProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hProcess As Long, lpExitCode As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetCurrentProcess Lib "kernel32" () As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
ExitProcess GetExitCodeProcess(GetCurrentProcess, 0)
End Sub

Sorry im new at posting the code above is kinda messy but I think you can figure it out also my name isnt showing ones with out names are mine sorry for the posts in a row. QuadZilla
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
2/12/2003 9:51:41 AM: MTGiga
Oh! You are already in that dialog. There is not going to be a tab there EVER. Okay, this should be much easier! Just click on the last row of text you see, then click on 'Training...'. That is it!
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
2/12/2003 9:54:17 AM: MTGiga
Okay, I will figure out how to use the APIs you posted, and get that back to you. I will also find a spot for it in the next tutorial.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
2/12/2003 1:57:17 PM: Anthony Dale Moore
Thanx for the help QuadZilla. I just thought it would stand to reason, voice activated....voice shut down. I thought it would be kool. I would be interrested in a second tutorial. A small suggestion. I'm finding out as I go, It might be easier if your going to have a long select case to put it in a module, and after the allow/disallow, and number game if statements just make a call.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

2/12/2003 2:11:21 PM: Anthony Dale Moore
Dude that works great for killing the Agent. lol. I'll work on it and figure out how to kill the other apps. but thanx again.

I already posted your result, Stanky Cheese. Also, the next tutorial WILL but the code into many different modules to organize it. That is the first thing I typed.

I am not yelling at you, Anthony! I'm just telling you. I usually NEVER yell at people. If anything I ever say makes anyone feel bad, please tell me. Also, thank you for the code snippet. If you would like me to put it in the tutorial (giving you the credit, of course), I can. :)

2/12/2003 6:15:58 PM: MTGiga
One more thing: Do you guys want the next tutorial to be an addition to the current project, or just telling you what to do and not adding on? I am fine with either.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
2/12/2003 6:52:46 PM: Anthony Dale Moore
I didnt take it wrong, and its up to you on including the api, but im not interrested in the credit. I found the code on psc in several different projects and just edited, and pieced them together to meet my need. Also either way you want to do the next one will work.
Probably the reason your getting so many responses is because how cool it is. I mean there is nothing else on psc like it.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I followed your code exactly, and my microphone is definately working properly, but when I give it any command, nothing shows up in the debugger window and the agent does not respond. Perhaps there's another way without using the Debug Window?

I am having a few problems with my computer, and I just restored it. The next tutorial may not be done by the beiginning of next month, but I will try my best. It will include the first tutorial, modified. They will both include full explinations of the code, and I will now explain the obvious for the beginners, because I understand that this is an exciting topic many beginners want to dive right into.

Great tutorial!
But I have a problem, I've never been able to get the Speech reco to work. For some reason the Reco_PhraseFinish sub (or other related subs) never executes. I.e. nothing happens when I speak into the mic, I know it's on and working. The training thing worked perfectly.. any idea? =)

There was a problem, it seems, when the tutorial was uploaded. In the grammar list, there should be before every equal sign (=) and the top of the list should not be [], it should be []. Thank you!

yea, same here, I've never been able to get the Speech reco to work neither. The training thing works perfect but that procedure for some reason is not executing. My Mic works fine and stuff. I would really like it to work so i can work on a Future program and make it something BIG! :o)

Excellent code.
Just one question: in the grammar file where there is "[]", should it b "start". Also, before each of the equals should it be as well?

Hello-
EXCELLENT article. One question however. Isn't there a way to set up the grammar file to accept optional or additonal words using the [] or ()? For example, start=[please ] turn on the lights

I'm in the responding stage. Sadly i can't get my robby response to me everytime. My words can only be recognize rarely. So how do i improve on it? will going thru the training process continuously help? Another question, if i'm going to use this program for public (i.e. more than 1 person), can the robby recognize well?

I've been customizing it so i feel important at my comp lol, but when i try to run it as a compiled application the voice recognition doesn't work, as well as every time i restart my computer i have to set up the speech thing again in control panel. maybe you know of a cure. thanks. keep rockin

Awesome, I've been doing voice recognition through the MS DirectSR control for a little bit, and set up a program to run on startup in the background on my (my families) computer, it didn't work well, but I didn't want a form to be up, so this is exactly teh kind of thing I wanted. Awesome, well done.

If you haven't used Visual Basic before then you should try other projects before this one. It requires at least a few months of experience.

Please make sure you follow the tutorial before you attempt to run the application. You must install a few things first.
