Possible MJ plugin?? Can it be done?
« on: November 06, 2002, 03:22:03 am »

Would it be possible to create a plugin/accessory program that would use a speech recognition engine to control MJ? There seem to be a few programs on the market for voice typing, but how to get a spoken command to go to MJ is the question.
Any thoughts??
Glen.

Voice recognition done right (accurate) is VERY difficult to program. I doubt anyone would even attempt it....and there's no need. General purpose voice recognition programs already exist that can control any Windows apps. IBM ViaVoice & Dragon Naturally Speaking are examples.

There could be problems. Imagine what your computer would think if you were listening to Diana Ross - "STOP in the Name of Love", or to Dave Matthews - "CRASH into Me".

Actually, I wrote one for a simple music player I coded using VB and MS voice recognition drivers.  I immediately canned the program.  The problem was that once you started playing music, the program used so much ram trying to understand the music that it bogged my system to a crawl.  Plus the background music caused the Voice Recognition engine to not be able to understand a single thing I said.  I guess the only way around this is to not start your music (kinda defeats the purpose), use headphones, or wait untill someone invents a thought recognition program.  The real sad part was that I lost all the code when my DH crashed last spring!
