Hi Again, I meant to say that "SayPlay" works with a modified version of Audacity 1.3.12. Some of the modifications are part of the release trunk of Audacity, but a few others are specific to this program (such as the Scripting interface ModScriptPipe using one bi-directional named pipe instead of two unidirectional ones, and issuing track commands by name (Mute, Solo, Play, etc.) At some future time, the changes may be integrated into the main-line codebase of Audacity. Thanks in advance for your interest, Marty --- On Thu, 2/3/11, Marty G <martygoddd@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Marty G <martygoddd@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [audacity4blind] SayPlay software introduction To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, February 3, 2011, 11:28 AM 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
