Hi, 
 
I’ve developed a voice command program called "SayPlay" which works in 
conjunction with Audacity and Windows Vista or Windows 7 speech recognition, 
and provides hands-free operation of basic recording and playback features.  I 
am interested in providing this software to interested people, who might 
provide feedback on performance and usefulness.
 
It works by allowing users to name tracks, and then to refer to them by name, 
when issuing commands such as "Pan the piano soft left", or "mute the guitar 
track".  
 
It works with a slightly modified version of Audacity 1.2.12.
 
Interested parties should respond to this forum with "SayPlay" somewhere in the 
text.  I can provide a .zip file containing executables and associated files 
and folders, but unfortunately I do not have a simple installer or setup, as of 
yet.
 
The SayPlay program was developed for my Master's of Computer Engineering 
Thesis, and it creates log files of events and confidence levels and comments, 
for purposes of studying the effectiveness of the Voice User Interface.   
Priority is given to volunteers who are willing to send me the log files for 
gathering data for my research.
 
I must complete the research this semester, for graduation in May.  While I 
cannot promise to correct all defects in the program, what I do have working 
now is functional and useful.
 
I hope that those interested and willing to use it can benefit from hands-free 
recording, as I had intended when I embarked on this research project.
 
Best Regards,
Marty Goddard
