+Speech
A script which enables you to control Messenge using your voice. You can also receive various spoken event notifications.

• Speech recognition (italic = example of what you can say
  • Change status (change status to: busy)
    
  • Change nickname (change nickname to: hello there)
    
  • Change PSM (change personal (status) message to: watching soccer world cup)
    
  • Show contact list (show messenger/contacts/etc..)
    
  • Open convo window (open a conversation window with John) - name recognized by nickname & email address from buddy list
    
  • Type text (first open convo ^^, then say 'type: how are you doing')
    
  • Send text (first open convo ^^, then say 'send message')
    
  • Clear edittext (first open convo ^^, then say 'clear/remove/empty text')
• Text2Speech
  • Spoken incoming messages
    
  • Spoken events (see screenshot for event overview)

There are various ways to speak commands, you don't need to say everything exactly as stated above.



I actually think it works pretty cool myself. When I've got some time I might make a little video to show how it works

For the speech runtime stuff; big chance have it installed already.. but check (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306537)

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

I think so

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.

I reckon a 'shut up' command might be useful.

This is not a bug. The commands 'type', 'change nickname/PSM', can accept any (english) word you like. Therefor it will not be that accurate. You can train the speech recognition via 'speech' in the windows control panel.

You can type by talking already, for example say 'type: how are you doing?'

Good idea, I'll definitely see what I can do. Remember you're already able to open convo's with your friends.
