Hi Coffee,
Will you ever see VAC on the BestBuy shelves? No, it would cost the customer too much. By selling VAC as shareware, the customer saves. Plus I’d have to make the builder pretty with graphics.
Program setup will allow you to setup programs on your computer to run from VAC. Say you want to run IL2 by saying “Run Game”, you’d go into program setup, locate the IL2 exe and give it a name. Then create an action “Run Game” and choose the IL2 name from the Special Functions area in the Launch Program dropdown. Now you can start IL2 by saying “Run Game”. If you want more power to control Windows get
AutoHotkey, VAC will launch AutoHotkey scripts also.
On the voice training I would say run through the training one or two times. That should be enough for SAPI to learn your speech patterns. Can you train the speech engine to much? I don’t think so, but if you are getting high accuracy then I’d say you’ve done your job in training and any more is overkill.
The reason the “Test Phrase” is in the builder was to test all the phrases assigned to an action. Since you can assign multiple phrases to an action there needed to be a quick way to test them out.
Enjoy,
