Hi all.
My little app needs to detect only letters and numbers spelt out
[A..Z][0..9].
But, it needs to do so reliably - and quickly, or else they'd be better off
typing them.
The app will be used by a handful of people, who will be watching videos.
The intent is that they read out what they see in the video, using hands to
control the video player start, pause, fast forward, frame by frame as
needed etc..
1) Is there any way to tune MS Speech engine to train it solely for getting
good at these 36 chars of interest? When I do the standard (Control Panel -
Speech) training, results seem to improve. But the training is all around
English words, and I have to wonder if it would improve more if I focussed
on alphabet and numbers. How do I do that?
2) The engine I am using is 'Microsoft English Recognizer v5.1' is there a
better one available? The other one listed is 'SAPI developer sample
engine', which is not configurable.
3) Where can I see the profiles stored? I will want to load the right
user's training profile when they start the app.
Thanks for any pointers!
Mike.
