USE SIRI FOR TEXT TO SPEECH MAC SOFTWARE
I just posted my Mac Siri-like software on Github, in a project I've named Sarah, for the home/computer named SARAH in the tv show Eureka. (I should add that the current name for the project is "Sarah", which is inspired by SARAH (the computer-controlled house) on the tv show Eureka.) My Mac Siri-like speech recognition software The plain color background is provided by my free Mac Hyde ("Hide Your Desktop") application. The "eyes" at the top of the screen are a separate application, my Java Xeyes application. My AppleScript alarm clock tutorial, which demonstrates the "say" command.
If you're interested in the technology behind this speech recognition application, here are a few links to get you started: I've programmed some responses to be randomly selected from a list of potential responses, which you can hear when I say things like "computer" or "thank you." Related technology and tutorials When the computer speaks back to me, I'm just using the AppleScript "say" command. I'd like to make it much smarter, but alas, time and bills have a way of taking me away from this project.) (The computer can't "learn" new actions, and the voice commands it allows are also predefined. There's a very simple relationship in the software where I map what the computer thinks you said to actions I've defined. The core of my software is written in Java (I'm currently porting it to Scala), and most of the commands you see executed are written in AppleScript (see my AppleScript tutorials). All I did was wrap a little "logic" code around that project, and resolve a few bugs that you can run into when talking to a computer that also talks back to you. If this demo looks impressive at all, 99% of that is due to the open source Sphinx4 speech recognition project. Here's a demo of how my Mac "Siri like" software application works:
Eighteen months before Apple released their Siri software on the iPhone 4S, I found myself stranded in Dease Lake, British Columbia, and wrote a little speech recognition, text to voice, and computer interaction application. Anywhere in the Application Toggle Text-to-Speech - Command T Pause or resume reading - Space bar (while in a book) Read the current sentence - Command S.
