AutoHotkey Community

I rewrite the script in the following topic to use COM Standard Library, which is recommended over CoHelper version:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20493

ok i'm haveing a problem with your script and i have no idea how to fix it here's the error

Error: Call to nonexistent function.
specifically:COM_Init()
(points to the line in code)
the program will exit

how can i fix this

i have that but it still dosent work

Read about Standard Library:
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Functions.htm#lib

ok i got it to kinda work but now it says

No Event Interface Exists! Now exit the application.

so how do i fix that now

Read the original thread linked at the top. You need to install
Speech SDK 5.1

Thank you for this sample. It's good to see it's possible to use ahk with speech recognition.

BUT I'm still thinking that speech recognition should be added in the core C++ code of ahk and be implemented like hotstrings.

Which parts of the SDK are needed?

^^^Nice Tool!^^^

Hey Sean.

Thanks for the script. I have been able to get it running and working stand alone reasonably well (I occasionally get the no interface dialog, but I suspect that it is because I am being too impatient (opening a second instance of the script while the first one is releasing it resources, etc.) and confusing the underlying MS framework).

At any rate, I wanted to take a second to ask you if you'd (or someone else who is also knowledgeable) be willing to take a minute and explain the script's functionality a bit (as a teaching/learning exercise, as I am still absorbing the various concepts...). I'd like to evaluate incorporating the speech recognition into my project, but not understanding how it is actually able to do what it is doing causes me some inability to properly evaluate it.

So, I'll pose my questions:

From the manual, I understand the following:



So, with the #persistent after including the COM library, the script executes up to the evaluation/assignment of pevent, and then goes idle after same, waiting for events to occur.

This is what I am struggling with: How the hell is the script triggered to cause the OnRecognition function to kick off? i.e. what faculties of AHK are you employing to cause this functionality to exist. An explanation and/or a link to the manual would be greatly appreciated.

I suspect that it has to do with COM and COMevents, but I am not able to glean how this is actually implemented from your code. I suspect that it is probably a concept that is easily grasped, once 'verbalized'.?.

A 2nd question related to the Speech SDK: I suspect that the speech SDK facilities that are being employed are indeed NOT speaker independent - i.e. that some training would have to have taken place previously, so that the SDK's tool set has a frame of reference for the user. Is this indeed the case, or is it using generic enough speech recognition patterns to allow for user-independent voice recognition?

Thanks so much. Your time, in reviewing my questions, consider same, and replying to advise, is greatly appreciated.

Have a great day.

Just to let you know ... don't be angry if a German won't prefer to call you [Tod]

OK, I am obviously a bit ignorant here, admittedly, so please do me the flavor of bringing me up to speed so as to remove any egg that I might have on my face... TIA. Anxiously anticipating an explanation...

[EDIT] Didn't notice the link. Sorry. Yikes. Fully understood. Thanks! [/EDIT]

Bravo on the conversion. But may I ask, what are some of the optional parameters I can pass in, to tweak and adjust the way things work? Any flexibility here.... does anybody know?

That download page says this:
(2maximina: So you'd probably want to just go with the first one: "SpeechSDK51.exe")

Hey guys, look at that - microsoft's dropping hints for AHK. and wink smileys too, interesting... :D **LooksAway&Whistles**

This is really cool, thnx. I'll have to get a headset or something so it can understand me better.

Anyway, I have some questions about this. Any answers greatly appreciated.

1.__________
As with TodWulff, I don't understand how the "OnRecognition()" function is called. I tried looking through the COM lib, but it references itself so much, I had my head spinning by the 3rd func. (bit manipulation is a bit over my head anyway)
It seems to work similar to "OnMessage()", does COM set that up? or is OnRecognition a built-in function by it's own right?
I have a simplified idea of how it works, please correct me if I'm wrong: (probably am, so that means "please correct me", i guess )
Is that even close? Even if, I still don't understand how OnRecognition is defined as the function to go to if it finds it, unless that's just part of COM.

2.__________
How would I clear words from being recognized anymore? Can I do it individually or does it have to be done all at once? If all at once, is it "COM_Release(pstate)"? (Because you use "pstate" in the COM_Invoke for recognizing a word, and that's in the OnExit subroutine)

3.__________
Is there a way to tell it to receive All words SDK recognizes? I know it would be unreliable, so I would only use it momentarily, but I would like to know. (does it have to do with the "+" . 0 paramater passed to the COM_Invoke?)

Thanks agian for any help. Voice recognition is really cool, and I would love to understand it more so I can meet it's potential better.
