Scratch should be a able to use a computer's microphone to recognize a voice. For example, a recording could say, "move right ten steps". Then when this recording is recognized, the sound it could run a script. Or you could type something in Scratch and then Scratch could recognize whether your voice is saying the text that you wrote. This would also use a computer's microphone.

I think that would be incredibly difficult to create, but it would be a great addition!

Mozaz · 2009-05-30 14:00:37

Its a great idea as it could open up a lot of oppurtunties for new projects, but there isn't even a perfect voice recognition software in the world that works perfectly, so I don't think we will see it in Scratch.

GreatGameDesigner · 2009-06-03 16:53:39

this is an awesome idea

technoguyx · 2009-06-03 18:52:07

But so hard not even Bill Gates could implement it. tongue

I don't really see this necessary though... neutral

PharoahJardin · 2010-05-17 06:55:05

well there is loudness but theres no pitch so its little difficult but u can make your language with <loud?> - 0/1 ex. 111001011010110100 - pharoah 8)

Make a Sound Frequency reporter. And a (When [] said) hat block.

MelonGameStudios · 2011-02-21 22:35:55

That would be hard!

kayybee · 2011-02-21 22:38:36

No need to necropost!

puppetadventurer · 2011-02-21 23:08:37

nah

too complex

kingofdallamas · 2011-02-23 23:13:09

That's a great idea, but extremely hard, and I don't think it's really necessary to need. Most scratchers find putting blocks together convenient already. smile

That would be incredibly difficult to create. I was thinking more of a pitch, loudness, and syllable sensors.

OK guys, this thread about 1.5 years old - let's just let it die, shall we?

As a step to voice recognition:
1. When using
http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=17499#req_message
it will be nice to have the sound for the word as well.
2. Record microphone user input as a variable, and play it. It looks like repeating something user inputted. How about a game called "Copy Me"?

Making speech is like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. Speech Recognition is like putting all back in. Even if it comes out, it's not like scratch would be the first to have it. tongue

I already heard that phrase. Where did you take it from? Some speech tutorial?

By the way, *frown* to whoever mega bumped this post!

To be honest, I don't even remember where I got it!

Chrischb's post, I think.

Oh yeah!

threepointonefour · 2011-08-02 07:16:13

can you use <loudness> and <sensor value [sound]>?

I think that to do that you'd need an extraordinary understanding of the English language and would certainly have to account for various accents. It might be possible, but I don't think it's plausible.

joefarebrother · 2011-08-02 15:31:34

It DOES exist! Ever played "Brain training" on the DS? But it will be hard to implement in scratch sad

Voice recognition itself is something to be programmed, not part of a program.

abu_developer · 2011-09-13 15:19:18

Speech recognition in Scratch is difficult because:
1) basic sampling rates need to be about 2X the highest frequency ... human speech then would need to be sampled at a minimum of about 5000 times per second.
2) on my macbook (2GHz) machine, I can get a counter to count to 42 in 1 second.
3) if you were able to store the "amplitude" or volume of each of those samples in a list you would get roughly 5000 items in a list every second.

Not trying to be a nay-sayer, but I don't think Scratch is quite the tool you want to do this kind of programming!
