Controlling Your Devices Getting back to software
Common Communication Methods • RS-232 • HTTP GET/POST • Infrared • Custom
RS-232 • Pros • Many devices have RS-232 control • Extremely simple • Has common libraries • Usually well documented • Cons • Uncommon Hardware • No common command set
RS-232 in PowerShell http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/plhc87u/plhc87uug.pdf
HTTP GET/POST • Pros • Uses pre-existing controls systems • Can be as simple as an iframe • Customizable • Cons • Usually less documented
Infrared • Pros • Almost everything has a remote • Will cover all the functions a user wants • Has premade tools: (Win)LIRC • http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/ • Cons • Time consuming • Hardware Dependent
Custom • Pros • You can do anything you want • Cons • More hardware
Speech Recognition with Kinect From voice to code
Microsoft SDKs • Kinect for Windows • Microsoft Speech Platform
Speech Recognition • Speech Recognition Engines • Grammars • Recognition Results
Speech Recognition Engines • There are two types • We’ll use SpeechRecognitionEngine();
Grammars • Define what we are looking for • Have three methods of creation • GrammarBuilder class • SrgsGrammar class • Srgs XML file
GrammarBuilder • Allows you to add items such as strings and Choices objects to build a grammar • Used to create a Grammar object
Adding a Grammar • recognitionEngine.LoadGrammar(g)
Listening for Speech • Two Methods • Synchronous • recognitionEngine.Recognize() • Returns RecognitionResult • Asynchronous • recognitionEngine.RecognizeAsync() • recognitionEngine.RecognizeAsync(mode) • Raises SpeechRecognized event
RecognitionResult • Contains all data regarding one grammar match. • Most notably contains: • Result.Text • Result.Confidence
