I am trying to find some software to control my carputer by voice. Does anybody have any experience with Via-Voice, or any other software that I can use.

All I want is simple commands -

- volume up / down

- next track / previous track

- open program (Explorer / Internet Explorer / Windows Media Player etc)

- shut down

Thanks,

Panda

Dragon Naturally Speaking is very good for voice

Thanks, just had a look at the website. It seems a bit of overkill for what I want, but I will investigate a bit further

Panda you are a full blown computer N**d. Sounds sweet, mate I would be interested in the results. Just Imagine A locally made car with modified intereior rivalling a top of the line BMW for complexity and gadegtery.

Thanks.....I think.

Actually I would classify myself as a computer nerd with a passion for cars - seemed like a natural progression to put a computer into a car.

Well I dont think this will help but would be nice if you could find it.. there is a software you can get for a PDA not sure of the name I will try to find out but it is used for voice commands, not just that but it talks back to you just like the new mercs and bmw's do. So you say "radio" and it would say "what station?" Now if someone can find software to do that I will be setting up a Carputer for sure!

If I can find the name of it I will check if they make a version for PC rather than PDA

IF you can find this gadgetry I would like something that told people to

"don't lean on the CAR!!"

"keep your fingers off the windows"

etc etc .. you get the picture

Well I actually had this on my last car.. was hooked up with the alarm system. Had a PA attached to it. was awsome! had a little mic you could record anything you wanted.. Had one setting for arm, one for disarm and one for proxi.. so if someone came near the car it would say " Please step away from the Car" people would jump... but easy way of getting your car damaged if you left it in a car park..

Micro$ux has Voice Command for Wndows Mobile, there is also a version available for XP with the Plus pack option

I cannot recommend it, but it will do what you want.

Panda this possably will be a feature of my interface.

Im using the Windows platfor sdk to make my interface. apart of this interface is voice recognition. ill have a better look at it over the weekend and let you know
