am thinking of developing a software which will take voice inputs and open the mentioned applications
well..... have to start this project yet soo need some guidence ....plss

Hi adihedge23,

This is a very large and complex project you are embarking on.

What language are you planning on using? Do you intend this to be multiplatformed? If not then which platform(windows, linux, mac)? Will there be a GUI?

Without knowing much about this projet in which you are looking for guidence on, I will try to give you something general, that may be able to point you in the correct direction.

For the windows platform, there are a set of APIs that can be used for voice recognition and speech to text functionality. I ran across this API one day while searching the MSDN site. Here is the article.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms723627(VS.85).aspx

Try reading the Speech API Overview first before going into the functions. I would suggest, that if you want to go in this direction and use these APIs, that you read through each Microsoft Speech API article very thoroughly.

I believe the APIs are written in C++. So if you do not know any C++, or have a basic understanding of C++, that you put a halt on your project until you get a understanding of the C++ language.

If a Microsoft platform/library is not the way you want to go with this project, then ignore everything above.

I hope this helps!

**Edit**
I forgot I was in the VB6 forum. If you want to use VB6, I can't help. Sorry

Here is an tutorial I found on this wonderful website. It uses VB.net, so that may be more of what you were looking for. Just another option for you.

thanks for ur suggestion
we have to develop this project using vb,c,oracle or c++ any of them
and platform is windows..have 2 months time..to do it... soo can i be able to do it...in 2months..the link u sent r usefull give me some more suggestion if possible... will upload my codes soon

Yes, it can be done in two months. If you go with VB.net, which seems to be the easier route, then the tutorial I linked should be very helpful because it shows you how to open notepad on voice command. You should be able to take the same concept for every other application. Here it is again:

If you go with C++, then I would really suggest researching the Speech API I linked from MSDN. Also If you want to make a GUI with C++ then I would research the win32 APIs. C++ seems like it would be more difficult because you would have to make the GUI yourself and that is a task all in itself.

Here's a link you can check out for C++ user interfaces, again from MSDN:

This can easily be done in two months. It will just take some dedication and a lot of research.

Good luck to you, if you get it working then I would love to see some of the code.

sure will keep u informed....thanks a lot
and will send u after finishing it
