Voice Input / Voice Recognition in Flash

[deluxmilkman]

hi,
I`m trying to voice input into flash.
For instance, when I say "A", the letter "A" shows up in flash.
It does not need to work online, jut locally on my mac.
Does anyone have any idea where to start?

Thanks

Use java or any core programming languages for that like C++ and such. You won't be able to do that with Flash. And get at least a master in computer science.

Thank you for your replay.
i was thinking about using voice recognition software and get string data from it. DO¥o you know what to use?

I have no idea. I know there are some voice recognition software around, maybe try to find an open source one but I have no idea if you are gonna be able to find that. Flash is too limited in sounds frequency handling, I'm even pretty sure Flash does not handle frequency at all.
Look for C++ and DirectX SDK, also I did not check recently where the OpenAl project got, you might want to google that. There are some libraries available as SDK for most core programming languages such as "fmod" for example, some of them MIGHT have buit-in voice recognition libraries.

Is it possible to integrate Mac`s built in speech recognition feature ()or any other speech recognition software) into flash?
I am trying to make a speech recognition based flash application. It does not need to work online, jut locally on my mac (no communication server needed).
any ideas from other developers where to start?
thank you in advance.

Howdy and Welcome...

I don't think that's currently possible...

I would think that you would almost have to develop your own custom projector file so that the projector had access to the voice recognition.. and once the projector has access to it .. then your swf could use it via custom methods that you make available to your projector..

way over my head .. but its a theory.

this sounded interesting so I Googled around a bit, does not sound simple, if possible at all and is miles over my head, but again sounded interesting and I was curious.

SpeechXML
Download SpeechXML which is a program that makes it possible to use Microsoft Office's built-in speech recognition with Flash

Again way over my head and I have no clue how or if those work with Flash. Like CyanBlue stated its probably not possible, even with AS3 and its more advanced sound capabilities, I also didnt find anything for AIR apps either.

For info you don't need to post a third time this question since everybody will tell you what I told you for your first post: Not possible in Flash.

Let me know when that happens, and I'll merge the crossposts...
