Welcome to Amiga Voice Recognition and AniMan.
This is version 4.1 of AniMan which allows you to converse with an
animated talking head through your audio digitizer in order to execute
CLI commands, ARexx commands, or ARexx scripts by voice command. AniMan
is completely multitasking and will run in the background, continuously
listening for your voice command. With AniMan you can launch multiple
applications or control any program with an ARexx capability by conversation
with an animated talking head. Improvements over earler versions include
background multitasking operation, the capability to load alternate command
files by spoken voice command, a choice of Amiga hardware timers to reduce
interference with other programs, and support for three audio digitizers;
Perfect Sound 3, Sound Master (Sound Magic), and Generic digitizers.
AniMan is compatible with NTSC and PAL. Copy voice.library (version 6.4)
to libs: before running AniMan. Note that is is VERY IMPORTANT that if
you have been using earlier versions of voice.library, that you REBOOT
YOUR AMIGA after installing voice.library version 6.4. Otherwise, the
older version of voice.library will remain in memory, and VCLI52 will not
work correctly.
Note for GVP DSS 8 users. You can use DSS 8 with AniMan in the Generic
digitizer mode. However, since GVP does not release technical information
regarding the DSS 8, I have not been able to provide software gain
adjustment. The process to use is as follows. First connect your DSS 8
digitizer and run the "DSS" program supplied by GVP with your digitizer.
Open the Sampler Control Panel and select Input parameters to be used
(I suggest left channel, sampler gain 8, and microphone input with filter).
Then select "Monitor" to activate the DSS 8 digitizer with the input
parameters you have selected.
Without disturbing the digitizer, exit the "DSS" program and run AniMan.
As long as you do not choose another digitizer, or load a vocabulary file
that was recorded using another digitizer, AniMan will operate correctly
with the DSS 8 digitzer. Note that if you have used another digitizer
previously, you may have to delete "CommandFile.name" file before running
AniMan, since the presence of this file causes AniMan to automatically load
the last vocabulary file you have recorded.
I will be most happy to assist anyone attempting to use voice.library in
their own programs. I can be reached on-line as:
