Voice Recognition

[Cloud]

I am trying to add voice recognition instead of keyboard command for a project. First idea was to just have the voice recognition program write a file and have alice read that file for changes. I can't seem to find any way for alice to read from a file so would anyone else have any kind of idea of a way to get this sort of thing to work without changing source code?

Sorry, alice is not that good yet.

I just tested the "Network" object downloaded from this webpage:
http://www.westga.edu/~drocco/alice/networking.html
It demonstrate a script which can download (and print) a file from the net, given its url. I did not manage to use it to read a file on the local computer, but it certainly demonstrates that such a thing can be done.

Hope it helps!

For reading and writing text files, see http://www.alice.org/community/showthread.php?t=1395&page=2&highlight=script .

I have tried the first program there and it does work - I'm not sure how robust it is however. In general, scriptiong is a fairly iffy thing with Alice 2.0.
