Some of the free MS Agents are nice but try Desktopmates if you want more. Thanks for the update James. Wanilton thanks for asking the question.

No Joy. Not to mention the PC does not save the settings and must be set up each time it is started. I originally wrote a VBS to open and send keys to change this as well as give a start up message. It worked then so did TTSModeID in a VBS, both are no longer working. I removed an Ivona engine but that was it. I will reinstall Tom and see if that works. if you have any other ideas please let me know.

James. I understand the whole default TTS should work. The problem falls in the use of a 64bit system with 32bit voices. Since the voice I am using is 32 bit and the default is always 64bit and registers like a male voice it comes back as Anna or a really high pitch female I assume to be the characters default. All problems root back to 64 bit.

It is 1:30Am where I am at. Before i go to sleep James I was wondering if you had any ideas on changing the MSAgents voice. The goal is to get all VC TTS from her, Synced together. the Agents voice is crap. I have used a VBS script to Load, Show, load new voice then Speak. All worked well. Is it possible to make the voice in VC the voice for the agent or even have a way to set and change the voice? Any way have a good rest of your day and good night all.

I believe it is only 64bit that has the issue. Have i told you your amazing! Does your TTS sync with your Charecter that you did trials with? My has not but I am sure it is an installation error on my part. Thanks again so very much.

Once again I made myself look like an a$$. Sorry James a simple uninstall and reinstall of double Agent with a reboot in between fixed the box issue. Lesson to be learned for any one who hopes to use an avatar with there PC do not install the MS Hotfix as it is a waste of time. Only install Double Agent. No nothing from you for Double Agent. As for commands
Announce, Confused, Congratulate ,Decline, DoMagic 1, DoMagic 2, Explain, Get Attention, Hearing/Listening, Look Down, Look Left, Look Right , Look Up, Process, Read, Sad, Search, Show, Suggest, Surprised, Think, Waves, and Write. Now this is A lot of work if you do not have the time I understand. I appreciate everything.

James, The plugins are awesome. I really like what you did with the MS agent one. I do somewhat feel kinda like a dick though. I was doing some troubleshooting to use my character with Vox and that annoying blue box showed up. (Pink for genie) After doing some reading this is the result of the MS agent hotfix for win7 not supporting full transperency. How hard do you think it would be to get Vox a DoubleAgent plugin or work Double Agent into the MS Agent plugin? I am attaching a link for double agent. http://www.cinnamonsoftware.com/double_agent.htm
Is it hard to add extra commands to the plugins. Here is a site that list all the standard commands for MS agents. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms695821(v=VS.85).aspx Now I am not asking for every command as some happen automatically. (Idle and Gestures happen as a charecter is shown and does other actions.) Just some more of them to give personallity to Vox and my PC. If there is any way in which i can help please let me know.

Well James I do not use MS Agent so much. It is required as a core component for charecters. It is an addition to TTS and speech recognition. I use mIRC chat at work quit often. The Character is scripted into the program to gesture and move its mouth when someone chats to you. It is just the character floating. It will provide text bubbles with the chat that has been spoken. I have seen it scripted with VBScript I think. My ideal use for MS Agent is for it to speak what Vox commando says. Gestures are a bonus but included in any character design. MS Agent I think only uses SAPI 4 which might be a problem.

As an after thought if you could incorperate gestures into the command tree  a user could then manipulate how there chararter acts based on the command. I wish i could help. hope this is not too difficult or too much to ask. If it does work out I am sure it will pay off for you and all vox users

Kalle, That is a cool trick. That means that Vox would be seamless with any other AI or you could create your own depending on how in depth you want to go with it.
James, Knowing you can make your own pandorabot to use is awesome. I plan on incorperating both of these into my system and i thank you.
My next topic is giving my PC a face or character. Have you gentleman seen Verbotwww.verbots.com? Gulie 3Dwww.guile3d.com? Ultra Halhttp://www.zabaware.com/home.html? Site palhttp://www.sitepal.com/? even the discontinued MS Agent Characters work for me. I have a trial of Ultra Hal on my HTPC. I am not commited to buying this program because the character is surrounded by a big blue box, you minimize and the character goes away and I do not know about modding its commands. mIRC chat has a free floating character that stays even if minimized. So imagine a character of your choice hanging out on your screen talking to you. They even have text bubbles that could be used for the OSD out put. I know this is possible but not an easy task. This post should be in feature request as well. I am requesting an Avatar or Avatar interface for Vox Commando. Mind you I am not looking for an AI program or interface with any of the above programs vice MS agent since it is a core. incorperation of a charecter engine would add to the experience of Vox Commando. The best places to start are Zabaware open source 3d character engine. MS Agent and Verbot. This is just a thought. I was disappointed when I searched the forum and thought this idea was already brought up if it has i am sorry for the spiel. If i read correct the forum was about forum Avatars and the movie? Let me know what you think James.

So I have been looking into different AI to pair with my Vox. Was wondering if it is possible to set up your own and use your own? Also if that is the case I would like to incorperate an MS agent charecter. Has anyone done this with VOX or Pandorabot? I think most any AI would work not actually in unison with VOX my thing is I want my charecter to float free have not found an AI program to do that yet. I know this is possible, i have seen it with mIRC at my work. Any way any ideas or setups that seem to be working for other useres I would be intrested in hearing about them. Thanks!

You guys are awesome. I am fairly new to forums, being a big do it yourselfer, but you guys are better than any company I have ever had to deal with. I think I have it worked out and Loquendo is quite rediculous on pricing.

Has any one figured out how to install or purchase voices from Loquendo? I have been set on Grace from Australia as my default. Of corse I have found no way to download and install. i am willing to try most anything. Oh and if Grace works out My VC would attain the name Gracie. Thanks.

Man your quick. now you get to laugh at me. MS Speech recognition would start at boot. even after ending virtually everything i could the mouse would move to top left. No longer the issue if MS speech does not start. I really am a noob. Thanks for the welcome and quick customer service. fine product you have here I can not wait to watch it grow.

This produced the same results. I have tried various methods of trouble shooting. Restart, PC and Software. Disable various software that could interfere. Tested on Laptop with similar software, With favorable results. Both are running Win 7 ultimate X64.

Hate to be the Noob stinking up the forum with old issues. Here it goes. I downloaded the mouse payloads from Kalle. Started playing with commands but if I try to loop it, it gets stuck in a loop. Also it starts from Vox's window and stays inside it. If it does make it out mouse goes straight to the Top left corner. I have a couple other devices that control the mouse might be the issue? If any one has ideas please let me know.
