MapPoint plus speech for NetStumbler 0.4 - Page 5

Laidback · 05-08-2004

Ooooooo kay!

First off,

I've used the time & date as the version - 4th line down in file.

Second,

Found that you don't need an external file for the zoom control, so no zoomcontrol.txt needed and all references to it have been taken out. This should stop Norton Anti-virus popping up windows!
Zoom in & out using the MapPoint zoom controls as normal.

**
Use it with or without MapPoint
Turn off signal strength sounds
Change the voice
Add open & closed on to the end of AP name
keep you on the map (re-centre)
zooms in & out
**

Cool, but I was talking about making the ver# part of the .ZIP file name...

Anyone got any insight into this script on a win2k box?

Hmmm. Download the voices for the Speech SDK 5.1 from Microsoft.

I have modified the script again, to give a message box if it can't initialize Mappoint or Wake up the stumbler lady (Initialize Voice). This will at least keep you (well, it should anyway) from getting an error if you don't have the 5.1 SDK.

I have not been able to get another voice (XVoice.dll) to initialize from this script, so I have no answer than SDK 5.1.

Sorry,

Ted

(version 0019 of the script by the way)

Thanks man. This is a real big pimpin' script that us backpacking, headphoneing warcyclers really needed. This is awesome, now I dont have to pull my laptop out of my backpack ever so often to see what I've got.

Microsoft seems to recommend the user go to the Microsoft Speech Application Software Development Kit (SASDK) Version 1.0, rather than using the Speech 5.0 SDK. Is this new software useable with the scripting? Know anything about it?

I just tried out this script and found an apparent bug. Not every AP found is logged with a symbol in MapPoint. Some just leave a blank spot in the breadcrumb trail. I tried it with breadcrumbs off and it just left a blank spot like nothing had been found. Some were away from other AP's (so it doesn't seem to be an issue of two found at once). Is this a known prob? Solutions?

NS 0.4
MapPoint 2004

P.S. The below pic shows what should be 4 AP's.

I noticed this as well with my perl port so I made a few changes the the perl script when I posted to add an access point during speech, as the onPositionChange event is not always happening when driving .. guessing due to speed and signal strength at the time.

Hi all,
I'm not using GPS, and the TTS script has really helped me. it kicks ass!!!
i'm using the following line in part of the script to try and get more info out at a time....

ComboSSID = "New AP," & "OPEN," & SSID & Signal

The problem i run into is 2 fold.. 1. it dosnt pause where the ","'s are 2. the voice over loops

the whole chunk of code looks like:

Dim ComboSSID
If UseSpeech And Not Spoken_BSSIDs.Exists(BSSID) Then
' ComboSSID = SSID
If AddWEP then
If ((CapFlags / 16) Mod 2) = 1 Then
ComboSSID = "New AP," & " Closed," & SSID & Signal
Else
ComboSSID = "New AP," & "OPEN," & SSID & Signal
End If
End If
New_SSIDs.Item(ComboSSID) = 1
End If

Thanks

Thanks

As to 1) the stumbler lady seems to ignore punctuation, and more than one space. Try this --> ComboSSID = "New AP OPEN " & SSID & " " & Signal. That should at least not run the words SSID and Signal together.

As to 2) What do you mean the voice loops?

Good catch. I disabled the speech and the AP's are now appearing properly. I hope there is some way to have it both ways, as it's really nice to hear when one is found. Would it help to shorten the phrase, such as not saying the SSID, just "Open" or "Closed"?

What do you have to do to get a "Stumbler Lady" voice? I can only get the original SAM type voice to work, can't get any female or any other voices to work at all. Was hoping for a sexy Star Trek computer voice...

download the 5.1 SDK http://www.microsoft.com/speech/download/sdk51/

But even with 5.1, I don't think you'll get your wish...

Okay - I figured out how to switch over to the "mary" voice - (done in the CP) - now, has anyone ever found any (prefer free) voices that can be downloaded that add some more (female) options to the one (mary) voice in the SDK?? Thanks for any help...

I can hear it now..."helio, jam that big Senao into my slot. Do we have fresh batteries in the GPS?..let's go for a drive, big boy."

Actually, I had in mind something like that Star Trek episode where the computer kept calling Kirk "dear". Something like

"linksys is open...dear"
"default is open...dear"
"netgear is closed...dear"
