Hi,

I'm currently working on AW Ear and I implemented voice commands.
Such as to get genie to popup and enable the chat reading, you'd speak
into your microphone "Genie" "Enable". I need people with mic's and who
got AW Ear version 1.1 working to help me test. And please remember it's
a beta and not everyone can test

Thanks,

Programmer

Try turning off AW sounds. That's the only way it will work for me.

Or possibly you didn't install the text-to-speech engine correctly?

BTW, I found AW Ear works best with 3.1 So If you are having problems. Make
sure you're running AW 3.1

Hiya Programmer!
Hey first off I'd like to say, "Nice Work" on the AW Ear prog. It works
great and makes for a fun way to interact with AW. I have done a little
looking into your prog and I think most ppl are having problems with it not
from the programs end but with the sound cards and/or version of AW ppl are
using. If I'm corect, if ppl are using AW 2.2 and AW Ear, they will have
problems cuz 2.2 doesn't allow for multiple usuage of the sound card. It
wasn't till AW 3.1 that they added multiple sound playback.So if AW 2.2 is
using the sound card, AW Ear will not be heard (hence shutting off the sound
in the browser allows AW Ear to work). Also, the sound card will not work
correctly if it doesn't support Full-Duplexing. MS Agent works best on a
full-duplexed sound card. This is just an observation but I do believe this
is what most ppl (in those situations) are running into when they use AW
Ear. Other than that....Kudos to you. Keep up the excellent work.

I agree, Cybernome. Another problem people have been having with AW Ear is with
Windows 2000. If you can figure that out, tell me lol. Also thanks for the great
comments about AW Ear :-)

Sup programmer!?!

You deserve the praise. Don't know about you but I've been waiting for 3
years for someone to write a text-speech prog for AW.

Actually I do know why Windows2000 would have a problem with AW Ear. Since
Win2000 is a derivative of the NT kernel, directX won't work as well as it
will on Millennium(yuk) or Win95/98. Windows2000 and NT use openGL for its
graphics acceleration. Since AW uses directsound for its sound porting
(which is part of the DirectX drivers) it will continue to have problems in
Win2000 or WinNT. Hope that helps somewhat. 8-)

Tyberius,

Try again in maybe like half an hour. Sorry, about that. It's the price I
pay for unlimited space...

I've noticed that having sounds turned on and having AW Ear usually work for
those that have Creative sound cards, but not for anyone who has any other
sound card.
