Voice commands

[sam_delta]

Hey I have the applet on the destop but when I click start control it comes up with a message in the little icon thing saying "Calibration" and I try all of the comands but none of them seem to work? My microphone works as I can record using sound recorder after selecting Line-in as the input device? Hmmm I'd love to get this to work, seems awesome!

Any help would be much appriciated!

It appears that the server file is pointing in the wrong location.

Open up the file

sudo gedit /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_VoiceControlApplet_Factory.server

Then on the fifth line, change

location="/usr/libexec/voice_control_applet">

to this:

location="/usr/lib/gnome-voice-control/voice_control_applet">

Now it should open up with no problems whatsoever.

Now... the hard part, trying to figure out how it works... (So far I've managed to get it to recognise when I speak).

Many thanks for this! I have now managed to get the applet added to the panel. I'm still trying to get it to do something useful. Its list of commands is very limited. The version which installs in 8.04 is the 0.1.0 version which only has the commands:

RUN TERMINAL : Open gnome-terminal

RUN MAIL : Open Evolution

RUN BROWSER : Open Epiphany

MINIMIZE WINDOW

MAXIMIZE WINDOW

CLOSE WINDOW

NEXT WINDOW

Since I don't use either Evolution or Epiphany this leaves me with almost nothing that is any use!
