SO - I'm making an AI, and I want to be able to talk to it and have it talk back to me. I'm not going to bother with Siri, so rule her out.
I have a STT program - DragonDictate.
I need to figure out how to make it hook up to a TTS program so the AI's response will be said aloud.
My da and I are going to build an Aperture Science Personality Sphere together.
Or something that looks like it with AI in it. :3

So you're doing this in Scratch?
Text-to-Speech is really easy with Applescript

Very Cool Idea!

Actually, it's in real life.
And we're even going to make the core shell.
So it'll look kinda like GLaDOS as a core. :3
Because I'm using my PandoraBot GLaDOS.

Cool! :3

One thing that I have thought of for tts/stt is to make it pick up on the Phonetic Notation of the speech. For example, if you say "hello" to the "device," it would decode the phonetics and run a dictionary check to determine the word. Then it would reply "hello, puny human," and do the reverse: find the phonetic notation of the word being spoken, then run that against some prerecorded spellings.
Also, autotune the voices, lol.
*just my thoughts*

The Speech Recognition API is easy to use on Windows, and same with the TTS API too.

Wow, that sure is a cool project!
It's my dream to make something like that, and I'll definitely get round to it some day.
Also, you say you have Dragon for your speech recognition (STT, although I've never heard of that abbreviation).
Does that mean you have successfully wired it to your program? Do you know of any APIs for Windows?

We're using Apple, not Windows. We're still working on it - heck, I'm still working on getting GLaDDY to understand what 'Aperture Science' is, using this page (and listening to Exile Vilify ).
Just because that's
a) all we have
and
b) it looks more Aperture-esque if you can change the icons. :3
I want to also be able to have her play 'Still Alive' and 'Want you Gone' when you ask her. (politely, of course!)
So... still working on that.
And no, she won't have neurotoxin THIS time when we activate her.
The most dangerous thing she could find in my house is probably old lead paint in my shed. xD
