Re: A way to open folders, too!

until such time as the release of the new product (which I hope allows unlimited custom commands instead of this 35 only business) try using the following:

1. create a text document any place.

2. cut/paste the following (this is to open "My Documents" ):

'***************************************************
' File:    Shell.vbs (WSH sample in VBScript) 
' Author:  (c) Matthew Mansfield 2010
' E-Mail: matthew.l.mansfield@gmail.com
' Goal: To open my documents
'***************************************************
Option Explicit

Dim Shell, wsh, Title, path

Title = "sample - by Matthew Mansfield"


' Create WshShell object.
Set wsh = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell" ) 'no space between the " and the ) this forum is thinking that's a face for some reason

' Windows directory
path = wsh.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("C:\Users\Matthew Mansfield\Documents" ) 'no space between the " and the ) this forum is thinking that's a face for some reason

' Create Windows shell Application object.
Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject ("Shell.Application" ) 'no space between the " and the ) this forum is thinking that's a face for some reason



' This runs Explorer with the folder tree rooted at the path specified
' (same as wsh.Run "explorer.exe /e,/root," & path).
Shell.Explore path


'*** End

3. save the document, but change the file extension to .vbs
4. click yes to confirm this action.
5. going back to tazti; enter your custom command such as, "computer open my documents"
6. reference this .vbs document as a program to run and it will open your "my documents" folder

If you wish to open another location simply change out the "C:\Users\Matthew Mansfield\Documents" for whatever folder location you wish to open.

Just a thought! It has worked for me to open many different folder(s) and locations. It's cool if you write your own .vbs documents because you can attach audio as well. So you ask your computer to open "my documents" and your computer can respond with an acknowledgment .wav or .mp3 clip (without opening wmp or some other sort of media player - b/c it does all of that in the background). It really adds a cool feel to your computer when you ask it things and it responds by opening things and thanking you or responding with any audio really!!

If you have any more questions feel free to drop me a message.

Hi Lyn,

Thanks for your posting. We do have a new version coming out within 40 days that will include an easy to use "speech to text" capability that we call "jot a note". It's not meant for lawyers or doctors. Just a fun capability. You can dictate into Word, Notepad, Wordpad, Open Office other word processors as well as text boxes in browsers etc. Before using the new dictation feature. be sure to train your software as directed according the Operating System you are running. 3 sessions for XP, 1 session for Vista, 1 session for the new 64bit Windows 7 version.

SPEECH TO TEXT

Lyn — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:15:31 -0400

The main reason I got this software is because I was looking for talk to text so I can dictate emails and such. I am very happy with it anyhow, but is this something that is coming in the future?

Re: A Thought

johnrp — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:30:10 -0400

Unless I am missing something, there seems to be little interest in posting anything in these forum. Is there another tatzi forum?
I am somewhat of a computer geek and gadget freak. I love this program and look forward to seeing what can be done with it. I congratulate all those who have worked to create it. Well done.

Re: A way to open folders, too!

admin — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 01:07:01 -0400

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. I checked with our engineers and they tell me that the "the ability to open a folder via a custom speech command" has been added to our new edition which should be out in September 2010. Be sure to look for it around then at www.tazti.com! Adam at team tazti

A way to open folders, too!

sonicstratos — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 06:14:18 -0400

I use tazti for a long time and I noticed that you can add a custom speech command only for a website or a program! How about if with a custom command, someone could open a folder?

Re: Support for other media players

bmore — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:32:14 -0400

I'm new to tazti, just downloaded it, so forgive me if my comment makes no sense, or is inappropriate.

I, too, would like to see support of additional media players in tazti. I don't own an iPod, and have never had any interest in iTunes. With that said, I was thinking that if there was a way in which tazti could utilize active hot key commands, it might be possible to run other media players which support hot keys.

As an example, Media Player Classic Home Cinema not only allows hot keys, or keystroke combination shortcuts, but also allows them to be user customized under View/Options/Player/Keys/. If your developers were to initially integrate application specific hotkeys, or there was a detailed description on how to customize commands in tazti to represent hotkeys, and the ability to open and close out the initial executable, then at least media players with hotkeys supported could be quickly added into the list of useful applications controlled by tazti. Unfortunately, since this is off the top of my head, I have no idea at present as to how one might update or modify a playlist, but since most media players allow for saved playlists, a tazti user would at least have some form of alternative media player support.

Re: Autoboot, remove startup sound?

Dale — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:31:21 -0500

In tazti's program folder, you'll notice that there's a file called "welcome.mp3" ... just replace that with a silent mp3 file and you don't get that loud "Welcome" sound at the beginning.

I've uploaded my copy of the silence that I made using Audacity... just download it, and replace welcome.mp3 with it. :)

How about receiving voice from a wav file? Can it be done?

Re: tazti ideas

dlaliberte — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 21:37:26 -0500

I would like to see a visual indication of what tazti has heard so far. This would help me know that it is listening, and that it is understanding me :o, or not :X. I wouldn't mind having a little voice monitor in the corner active all the time providing this feedback of what tazti is hearing.

It could also provide a list of things to say next. For example, if I say "go" it could popup a list of things that follow "go" so I could look and find out, or remember, which one I wanted to say. This would be more like a hierarchical menu system.

Using Tazti to build websites

jjdugan — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:42:11 -0500

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I've incorporated Tazti into my website-building software. As in, I speak a command such as, "start a new project", and it launches one of my php scripts that starts a custom website project. The script then awaits text inputs, such as, "project name", "project type" (like a blog site or a full-blown business website), "project author", etc etc.

I'm really, REALLY hoping that a future version of Tazti will incorporate more than an A-B interaction (such as A = me giving a command, and B = Tazti executing an action). I think it'd be just so awesome if it was an A-B, C-D interaction (where A = my command and B = Tazti executing an action and then specifically awaiting voice input (like 3 or 4 voice elements) from me, C = my voice inputs and D = Tazti running a final execution based on those voice inputs).

Basically, when I say, "start a new project", I want Tazti to execute one of my php scripts and await my voice input. When I give the voice input, Tazti fills in the text input fields with my voice input and submits the page.

This seriously would be awesome! It's kinda like a primitive Jarvis system from IronMan.

Oh, another thing I think would be great is if Tazti can catch commands from a quick sentance, like, "Ok, lets start a new project shall we?" and it would catch "start a new project". I've experimented with this and it seems to need a short pause before the actual command is said in order to recognize it. Do I just need to train it more?

Another thing I think would be great is if when Tazti goes to a website, it does it in the current browser tab instead of opening a new one.

Anyway, just some ideas. Thanks so much for your awesome program!! I can really see this going far, even so far as to control electronics in the home. Not just lights, but the TV, the oven, the microwave. In fact, I'm learning how to write programs to control such appliances and I'd like to use Tazti in them. Thanks again!

More iTunes control

Oingofan — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:31:01 -0500

It would be nice if you could add the following voice commands for iTunes (or WMP):

Play song - searches and plays a particular song in the music library
Play artist - searches and plays all songs by a particular artist in the music library
Play year - plays only songs from a certain year
Play genre - plays only songs from a specified genre
Play mood - plays only songs from a specific mood (as part of the ID3 tag)
Play star rating - plays only songs from the star rating in which you specify
Play decade - creates a playlist based on a decade in which you specify (this would be really cool)

When you switch to the radio library, it would be nice to specify and play a radio station. For example: Play radio . Additionally, it would be great if you could move around in the radio stations without being local to the machine.

I like how you are making making tazti available for free and appreciate your work! Thx!

Re: Use tazti to start streaming a radio station from the itunes "radio list" library.

Bummer...I was hoping to use only voice commands to search and start radio on iTunes. Something to consider for the wishlist... :)

Use tazti to start streaming a radio station from the itunes "radio list" library.

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:12:50 -0500

How to use tazti to start streaming a radio station from the itunes radio list library.

1. Open iTunes by saying "Play music".

2. Say "Radio Library" to open the itunes library of available streaming radio stations you can listen to.

3. Move your mouse cursor over the Stream(type) of radio station you want to play. Say "double click" and it expands the list showing all available stations of that kind of music.

4. Move your mouse cursor over the radio station you want to play. Say "double click" and it starts the music streaming to your PC.

Note: You can cause a stream to reduce back to heading only by saying "double click" on the heading a second time.

Try it!

iTunes radio selection

Oingofan — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:13:25 -0500

I see that you can tell iTunes to go to the radio area, but how do you select which station?

Execute Command Line - - tazti API

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:53:27 -0500

Over the past year or so we've had many people ask us about command line control and opening our API for everyone to use. Well we are doing it.... in the next version of tazti which will be released in the next few months. You are going to have a lot of fun with tazti when this feature becomes available. Send us your email address at info @ tazti .com with a request to be added to our early notify list and we will contact you as soon as the new version is released!

AND we've decided to have a mashup contest... so start coming up with ideas. We may even offer a cash prize!!

Re: Mouse movements

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:45:30 -0500

Very cool that you are helping a friend!

"Scroll Down" and "Tab" will be included in the next version of tazti. It's already designed in and will be released within the next few months. Send me your email address to info @ tazti .com and I'll add you to the list to be notified when the new version is released. (don't post your email address here)

As far as "mouse left 100",... well originally we designed tazti for people with hand, wrist, finger problems... you know, they can move the mouse, but it's painful to click. But we've had some quadraplegics contact us as well so we are scripting out how we could do this. But realistically it could be 9 months + or -.

We do appreciate the suggestion. We want to make it work for all of our user base!

Re: Remove Existing Commands for Custom Only

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:22:57 -0500

We have done what you want in the next version of tazti. It will be out in a few months. You will be able to turn on/off speech commands on each "tab" of the application. If you want to turn everything off except custom commands you will be able to do so. There are going to be a FEW commands you will not be able to turn off. But overall you will be very happy. Email me at info @ tazti .com and I'll add you to the list to be notified when the new version is available in a few months.

Also.... well how can I say this. We don't recommend using loud TV or stereo in background when using any speech recognition. You are right... it works too well and it's always listening...

Best,

Re: Autoboot, remove startup sound?

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:17:03 -0500

Regarding "auto booting tazti" .... Yes you can set tazti to "autoboot" when the PC turns on.

You can go to the "options tab" on the dashboard and you will see 3 checkboxes in the center section. Click the middle checkbox putting a check into it. When you shut down tazti will remember your choice. The next time you turn your PC on, as it boots tazti will be turned on for you.

As far as the "stopping" bootup sound goes.... I'll pass your email on to engineering. Don't hold your breath on this one.... I know they are working on some BIG new features.... limited resources and everything if you know what I mean. But you never know maybe they can fit this one in somehow....

handicapped friend

Trish — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:47:28 -0500

Hi,
I'm trying to get Tazti working for a friend's 25 year old daughter who was in a car accident. Her speech isn't clear enough for Tazti to recognize all of the commands correctly. (We have completed four different passages for the "train a recognition profile".) I want to change some of the commands but don't know where the .exe files are. (I apologize that my computer background isn't great.):

1. I want to change "click" and "double click" to something simpler to say such as "tap" and "two tap" by adding them as custom commands. Where would I find the "program" for the mouse click/double click/right click?

2. I want to change "mute computer microphone" and "activate computer microphone" to just "no mike" and "mike on". Where would I find the "program" for those commands?

3. I want to change "search bookmarks" to "go to fav". Where would I find the right .exe to create that as a custom command?

Also, is there a way to delete some of the standard commands in Tazti so that the program doesn't have that option? My thinking is that if there are fewer commands available, she will be sent to the wrong place/have the wrong program open less often.

Thanks you for your help and I again apologize for my lack of computer knowledge.

Trish

Custom Sound Response To Custom Commands

TheAtomicSoul — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:35:36 -0500

Could you add a feature to allow a custom sound to be activated in response to custom commands along with the file/ program activation? (in a way that each command can have a different sound.) Or is there one already?

Autoboot, remove startup sound?

TheAtomicSoul — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:29:54 -0500

Is there a way to have the program startup at boot?

Also, no offense, but I hate statup sounds from program, or any sound I don't want to hear on purpose. Is there a way to remove the startup sound when the program begins?

Remove Existing Commands for Custom Only

TheAtomicSoul — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:28:07 -0500

I want to have only custom commands: the program works TOO good and opens things from noise from the TV. It's taking forever to remove them and so far I haven't found an option to remove them all.
Is there an easy way to do this?
