ACE will be based of JARVIS from Iron Man. The basic idea will be to
allow me to control certain aspects of my computer by just speaking to
the computer. ACE will be able to understand humans and be able to talk
to them. ACE will have built in file management and well control of the
whole computer.

The current idea for the UI will be a CLI like design. May have a menu
to control certian options of ACE uh...

Here a preview of what Ive got so far:


I know this should really be written in something like C++ but I havent touched that in ages and with exams coming up

Ideas and suggestion are welcomed. I'll update whenever I can be bothered too

Yet another extremely ambiguous project But non the less interesting. What language are you going for? From the looks of it VB6?

Haha thank you Yep Im going to be using VB6. I'll probably get back to C++ when schools out which wont be far now

I see. If this is just going to be some sort of speaking AI, you might want to look into "dragon naturally speaking". Its a quite perfect speech recognition program that can probably be used for something useful for this kind of project, I mean its much easier to make a command interpreter for a speech recognizer than making the recognizer itself. I have personaly used Dragon Naturally Speaking, and its actually pretty good, you need a decent mic tho

Right now im messing with Microsoft Speech SDK 4.0 its okay but yea...Look neat thanks ande

I did a similar project, speech recognition a time back. First I tried using some DLL of the net that would stream the mic input to a file for x amount of time, then idd make the program read that file while lunching the DLL again to record to another file for a few sec etc, juggling between two files for a few sec. But I ended up using Dragon Naturally Speaking and also ended up with a much better result, performance vise and success vise.

Zesh, you are trying to make something like this?

I like your project I suggest you to use an avatar for ACE this one is cool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrnlLIfUr9w

use the same method as mine

[ande]

Having a avatar is pointless Will just slow the program down, cosmetics should be done last anyway.

[Zesh]

@ghost something like that and I wont have an avater just going to leave the interface as it is for now.

Heres an update. Simple convoseration system although it sucks but as it shows the text on the screen it also speaks it out. So ACE now has a voice

I thought this was going to be a real AI lol.  You could just use SOAR.... Its complex but it is after all "a cognitive architecture for AI"

It appears as though your not really making an AI so much as a collection of rules, a real AI would be more interesting honestly.  Sorry to be a downer I've just seen way to many people claim a rule based AI as an advanced AI   If you were to make an AI which understands english to a degree that I would consider an advanced AI.  just my two cents.

I dont really care I just have an idea which Im going with. If I do finish it off then it would defiantly be 'advanced'
