AS3 isn't going to be the issue. I played around with speech recognition a lot and found that:
- For it to be anything approaching reliable, you need a very quiet room. Any background noise really starts to make the reliability fall away. A room full of young kids who can't read well strikes me as a fairly noisy environment; You can use the SAPI activex control in IE to fire commands into a flash movie. AS1 / 2 / 3 doesn't matter. I don't think there are any AS3 speech recognition libraries, and if there were, I doubt they'd be an improvement on SAPI. Start by buiding that, and then experiement to see if you can makeit work reliably on your own in a quiet room. Then test it in the target environment. Good luck. I dropped it as I just couldn't get it to work reliably enough in a room with other people, and for me another isue was that adults just don't like talking to computers. It just feels weird for a lot of people. Kids maybe don't have that hangup. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of BOYD SPEER Sent: 31 January 2008 18:18 To: [email protected] Subject: [Flashcoders] Speech recognition with AS3 possible? Has anyone experimented with speech recognition engines and AS3?? Any suggestions as to where to start? I am working on a game for primary grade students who can't read well yet, and would like to let them interact by speaking to the application. The app will need to recognize their spoken responses. Thanks for any insights!!! -Boyd _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders This message has been checked for viruses but the contents of an attachment may still contain software viruses, which could damage your computer system: you are advised to perform your own checks.
