VoxCommando - Speech recognition and command utility (control XBMC by voice commands)

just some bonus features...

1 - use VoxCommando as a universal translator!

2 - getting ready to use Kinect as a killer (hopefully) microphone for voxCommando:

Also with the release of official drivers for kinect with skeleton tracking, I may decide to develop a system where voxCommando watches for certain gestures as well. Same idea as KinEmote but more geared to supporting voice commands.

We just released a new version, 0.891

Command - Play Album ...

When using this command, it plays the album, but doesn't start from track 1? It always lists the album in alphabetical order?

Does anyone know how I can get this to list in track order, If I go to the album through usual menus, it lists in track order

Edit the command and change the parameter for the third action to:

AddToPlayListFromDB(songs;strAlbum='{1}' order by iTrack)

here is the latest video showing VoxCommando for XBMC

If you want to use a mobile device such as an android or iPhone as a microphone for VoxCommando by connecting through skype we've greated a guide:

I just discovered this and am super interested.

After having a quick play last night here in Australia, I found that it doesn't like my Aussie accent a great deal and has issues recognising what I am trying to say a lot of the time.

Mind you it was only a quick play to check out what it could do. I might need to tinker with some things.

VERY impressive nonetheless. This just made my post-Uni projects list.

Any more thoughts towards integrating this with Kinect Gestures? I plan on using the Kinect as my microphone once I start seriously playing with this. Gestures would be the icing on the cake.

Keep up the good work man!

You might want to check that the speech engine selected is the UK english rather than US english. I think that's probably closer to an Australian accent. You can select the speech engine in the VoxCommando options, on the general tab, under "speech language". You can select "learn" on the main VoxCommando page to teach it your accent, and I also recommend that you use the Microsoft speech recognition "training" at least once.

As for kinect, your best bet would probably be to use Kinemote for gestures, but be advised that the Kinect is pretty CPU intensive for gestures, and is overall a rather poor microphone (whether for speech recognition or otherwise) despite all the hype.

Hi James, great project. Just wondering if it is possible to use the built in mic on my laptop sitting on the coffee table to send commands to vox / xbmc on my media center PC? I've set up HTTP in vox/xbmc on my HTPC but need a mic to test and since the laptop is always close i thought it might be a good option, at least until i buy one.
thanks
