So now , what you have got is that , your computer can respond back to yo for whatever you say , now lets get to , what we should have to do all that I have told you :
Requirements :
- Firstly , you need an operating system , Windows 7 and Windows 8 , both works fine on 32-bit as well as 64-bit versions. you should have a lots of memory , at least 1 GB memory is required , but i will suggest for a 2 GB processor , at least a dual core .
- Secondly , you would need Windows Speech Recognition Software , that's inbuilt in windows 7 and windows 8 PC. You just need to enable it.
- Now you need is an important software , which windows is providing on their website too ; Windows Speech Recognition Macros , which you can download by clicking HERE .
- A microphone , that's inbuilt in laptops , but i will suggest using a separate and dedicated microphone as it will be whole lot more easier.
- Lastly we need is Speakers , as we all know .
Procedure :
- Download Windows Speech Recognition Macros Software (WSRM) first . You can download it at windows website , or otherwise you may Google it to get more download links.
- Enable Windows Speech Recognition , which is inbuilt . Enable Windows Speech Recognition in your Control Panel (Start Menu/Control Panel/Ease Of Access/Speech Recognition/Start Speech Recognition). While you're at it, it's a good idea to take the speech tutorial to familiarize yourself with some common voice commands. You should also go ahead and visit the section that says "Train your computer to better understand you." Neither is required, but going through the steps provided by these tutorials will help make the process of bossing your computer around a lot more efficient. An additional bonus you'll get after training your computer to better recognize your voice... less problems with it responding to ambient noises and other voices in the room. So go ahead and take the extra 10 minutes to learn these processes.
- Now when you have trained your PC , its time to do some programming . Open the WSRM by double clicking it , it always gets minimized to the task bar. To know how to use it visit HERE . At starting it might look like this . You can directly add programs by clicking on Run a Program option.
- Go to advanced and do the programming as given below:
Before doing that , you must know about the used strings , ie. XML strings
<speechMacros> - This is the starting Tag, it just tells the computer that this XML file uses the Speech Macros to execute.
<command> - This is the command to be executed. Each command is basically one action... in most cases you will only need one, but for some automations you'll want to include more than one. You'll see an example of this later.
<listenFor></listenFor> - This tells the computer what word or phrase to listen for in order to do an action. Notice that there is a closing tag (</listenFor>), this tells the XML that this spot in the code is where to stop doing whatever function... in this case stop listening for a word or phrase once the computer hears it.
</command> - The closing tag for the "Command" tag... again, in XML every tag will have an opening/closing tag and what happens between the two is how it knows what to execute. In this case it knows that the command is finished once the word/phrase has been detected.
</speechMacros> - By now I think you can figure out why this is here.
Since I'm going to name my computer Jarvis, I'm going to tell my computer to listen for it's name by changing the <listenFor> tags to say the following:
<listenFor>Jarvis</listenFor>
The entire macro looks like this now:
<speechMacros>
<command>
<listenFor>Jarvis</listenFor>
</command>
</speechMacros>
so we're going to add the <speak></speak> tags which allow for the computer to speak whatever text we insert between the tags back to us.
Now , what you write in advanced is :
<speechMacros>
<command>
<listenFor>Wake up</listenFor>
<speak>Database Check , System Online , Hello</speak>
</command>
</speechMacros>
Go forward and save it , Sign the macros as well . That's it . Now when you say hello to it , it replies you back .
Some examples are :
Restart Computer: (You say "Nuke It" and the computer acknowledges and restarts your system.)
<speechMacros>
<command>
<listenFor>Nuke it</listenFor>
<speak>Restarting Windows</speak>
<run command="C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" params="-r -t 00"/>
</command>
</speechMacros>
Shutdown Computer: (You say "Shut It Down" and the computer acknowledges and turns the system off)
<speechMacros>
<command>
<listenFor>Shut it down</listenFor>
<speak>End Of Line</speak>
<run command="C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" params="-s -t 00"/>
</command>
</speechMacros>
Similarly you can add lots of commands and control your system with voice.
