Title: C++ Virtual Assistant
Post by: GameWolfz on May 16, 2013, 12:19:10 am
I am trying to code a virtual assistant with my own custom voice which can be controlled with the voice. I have heard of SAPI and other microsoft programs but none which allow me to make a custom voice. I can code in c++. Also i want custom responses

Great! Welcome!
OH...was there supposed to be a question somewhere?

If you're hinting around to HOW to go about using your own voice to construct a "Personalized TTS", then I'd suggest you open your wallet.

I think Cepstral used to have something similar to that but I'm not sure whether they still do.

Then again, I'm reading a lot into your posting since this wasn't your inquiry.

Please explain or pose a question so that we might better provide a decent response.

I'm just wondering how to use voice recognition in c++? Also i want to know if playing an audio file for every word is a good idea? If not what are solutions? Also if yes how do you play sounds in c++? :/ lots of questions.. cant solve them.

Perhaps the majority of your questions might be better suited if asked on a C++ / Programming related forum as I'm sure there are MANY and no doubt Many individuals who might offer some assistance.

Not trying to dismiss you in any way but for the vast majority here, I don't think C++ programming is our Forte.

Best of luck!

Yes, I use http://stackoverflow.com/ (http://stackoverflow.com/) for this kind of thing.  I haven't played with C++ for years, but if I were attempting this, that is where I would ask for help.  Playing sounds should be one of the easier things to work out, and SAPI should be relatively straightforward too.
