Awsome Finally Got It To Work and have not had problems yet

yay! works unlike the other one posted

one thing, if u have reading incoming messages on, and someone sends u a message, even if u close a window with them it still continues reading it... and maybe also make it stop reading when you switch tabs

Bug! Saying "Change nickname to dot lou testing" changes the nickname to "die"
and "change nickname to period L o u" changes it to "a gun found you"

NEEDED!!!

Add options to activate or not:
-Typing
-Messages while appear offline
-messages while away
-Messages while In a call
-Messages when etc...

Woa I'm impressed ! Nice work dude !

I wonder if it's possible to get French recognition (and speech) with the MS voice thing

also i have some suggestions
-i dunno what lou meant by typing, type by talking or reading as typing but u shud add both
-not read when something is playing
-search for contacts in main window and be able to start convos with voice

Wow I really like this, it has some bugs but voice to text technology is not 100% accurate anyways. Hopefully you can add new features like "next conversation" where it opens the next tab.

Thanks for your tips! About the multi-lingual stuff, I'll first polish the English version, and then I might look into Dutch/German/French/Spanish. However, I didn't look for any speech recognition modules in these languages yet. Text2Speech shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, Ill do that.

Ok, I'll make it possible to enable/disable more options!

As well, I have noticed that disabling the option where it says who signs in, and pressing close..and then closing messenger, coming back in and stuff, makes it come back as enabled.

It doesnt really work very well with multiple (polygamy) WLM sessions..

The best thing is the status / open & closing of windows.. It works 9 out of 10 times... Chatting is very hard using this.. Sometimes he even types stuff without me saying "type"

Ah well.. The idea is very cool... Maybe you can add functions like "lock my messenger"

very cool and funny, we had a good laugh with wtbw testing it.

it works surprisingly well in some occasions and not so well in others. Could you add an option to disable speech reconigition completely and add another one that requires a key to be pressed before sending a command?

Thanks for the script!

You're welcome, good to hear you enjoyed it.

The dictational commands (change nick/psm to..., type....) obviously don't work as well as the others. Remember you can train Speech Recognition via your control panel (if you've got some spare time, that is).

---

@Lou: as said a few times before: options will be built in to enable/disable everyting... Just be a little patient

UPDATE:
- added enable/disable speech recognition checkbox
- added enable/disable 'Type' speech command checkbox

it seems that it was installed, but says that i dont have msn speech installed, or something like that

This Is FANTASTIC!!!!!
The only problem i have is that the Microsoft's voice engine can't pronounce for shit. Does microsfot have an update which is much better? I have winxp service pack 2. If is there other voice engines out there that are much better? I'll have a look on google to see what i can find as well. If there is and it's much better would the developer mind adding the option to chnage to this new voice engine?

Thanks so much for this script!!


Rhys

Rhys, how do you install those voices?

thats a good question. Haven't had the time to check them out yet. hoping someone with plenty of time to waste would do that for me

lol. can you try and find out for us? thx

il do it

ok. PM me your msn so i can ask you on msn

suggesions:

-talk when chat window is opened so it doesnt annoy me when I'm doing something else
-add an update feature like iTunes+
-user by first and last names would be nice too
-be able to change between the male and female voices depending on the gender of my contact

just my 2 cents, but everything else seems geat

hi, im so happy to see this script. i used the speech plugin for Plus! before. I cant get the speech recognition to work, i have office 2007 Beta. and cant find how to enable speech recognition.
But i dont really mind, what i really want, is for Microsoft Sam to read what my contacts say, AND what i say. Just like the old Plugin for Plus!.

for it, i used "/xspeakit this is said out loud" for Sam to read that, and my contact did the same. I prefer it now without having to use /xspeakit, but maybe a quick on/off button in contact windows as well as the ability to read not only what i receive, but also what i say myself.
Thanks

I have downloaded it and have tried it but it is far to complicated for me and besides i don't use voice recognition.

If you do create a video manual or a written one please let me know.

Thanks,     LSMAN

hmm. i got speech recognition to work, but its hearing me all the time.and sending jibberish to people . could you add the option to turn recognition on and off?

any reason why the settings i choose reset every time msn closes? I haev to chnage them every time o log on!!!

rhys

same thing for me. the setting reset. i have to put my own ones in each time i log on.

also, id love to see lots more options. like, chosing which commands are on and off. id like to be able to change my status with voice, but prevent it from typing jibberish to my contacts. and be able to hear what i send aswell as what they send. its a great script tho, i hope it keeps getting better

thanks

OK that might sound like a stupid question.. But how do I bring up the configuration screen?

I have read through the script, checked everywhere, but no mention of a trigger to bring it up.

hope its fixed to save setting soon, and many more options would be cool.

any updates to this soon? can anyone take a look at it and make it save options across sessions?

Yes I'll keep on updating the script.

People who's settings don't get saved: could you tell me what anti-virus system you're using? Maybe it blocks some of the scripting commands.

Edit: could you check whether the settings will be saved with your security systems turned off?

i think it only loses the setting after a restart of the pc.
i dont think i can disable my norton AV for restarts.
It seems to be saving the setting when i restart WLM, and when i log out and in.

i restarted with AV off. settings did not save. could it be that the firewall stops scripts? that was still running for restart.

First off i would like to thank you for such a great script

i personally run norton internet security 2006, the problem here lies within the script, i disabled the FIREWALL (not AV) and found that after a sign-out and restart of WLM that the options would then stay "same"... i then continued to disable the start up of norton, in both given options and in "Start>>Run>>msconfig" sorry to say that the problem of options still not saving still arose..just intergrate a save function within the close button, and be done with it....

PS. i cant get the type command to work. (and here i am using my keyboard like a Sucker)
Do i have to sound like an arrogant american to get it to work??

any updates soon? more options and a fix for settings not being saved would be great

Great script! I have one question, and im sorry if this sounds stupid. How do I get the voice recognition to work? Do I just speak? Because if so, it's not really working. If it helps, my mic is built into my webcam.
Thanks for help.
Josh

can the creator of this script add a save settings option because while this is a great script it is annoying  that i have to reset it everytime i log onto WLM...

Cheers
