How to use speech recognition

Hello Scirra community :)

I have a question. I'm creating a game, and I want to introduce a speech recognition feature in order for the player to interact more with the game.

I'm using the user media object, and yes, it works, I have created a simple test and when I talk, the game sends me to another layout, which is what is it supposed to do.

But my question is, how can I require the player to say certain words or expressions in order for the event to activate? For example, if he/she says with the mic "Play now" or "Play" the game starts.

I need something like this because the make will have visual novel choices and I want to make it interactive with this.

Kind regards!

Bump!

Any information about this? I would really like to add this feature to my game, even if it is complicated.

Regards!

For phones that already have a voice feature built-in you might be able to have it convert to text. But otherwise, I don't believe text generation is a default feature of the object, so you'd have to find a library (in Javascript) to recognize the words they are saying.

Otherwise, pipe the text into a textbox and read it after they speak <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Great! Thanks for the info.

And where can I find a library? In this forum? I hope I can understand how to do it, because a speech recognition feature would be great for my game :P

Hi! I loaded the speech recognition example and it says it is supported in Chrome but it does not seem to do anything. I started, said a word, a sentence and so on but there is never any result shown. (I clicked on allow in chrome when I was asked to use the mic)

Any ideas?

I did not expect that demo to work for me, but it did. "hello hello hello"

Every time you click start you have to approve the mic again, was there a message at the top of the Chrome browser?

edit: I'm still using r156 at the moment.

I apologize for the delay with my answer.

Yeah, it works in Chrome, you just need the request speeck recognition event and then a condition to check if the user says something in order for the game to do something like go to another layout.

It works in Chrome only however; but my questions is, do you know how to pipe the text like Jayjay said? Or what library do I need in order to check if the user says specific words? In order to do different functions accordingly to what the player says.

Regards!

Bump!

Any information on this? Or maybe a tutorial?

Thanks a lot :)

Did you see the built-in example? You don't need a library to check what the user said, the speech recognition engine already does that. So you can just compare the text that is coming in from speech recognition.

Oh yeah, I'm sorry, I forgot Construct had examples about the speech recognition. Now I understand what I have to do, xD

Thanks so much for the help :)
