How do I use voice recognition and text-to-speech with Personality Forge?

Thanks you Ronnie075 and LarsB. Sorry for my late reply. I have a new question do you know if it is possible     to have more than one memory stocked in "like" for example.

Nyridielle

a memory of a name can hold up to ten entries. Just use something like

<?PF rem (key1) as "like" ?>

Only if you want to have only one entry in a memory use

<?PF rem (key1) as only "like" ?>

(You can read this in detail in Book 4 "Bot Development - Expert" of the Book of AI)

Thanks you Mome Rath I thought a memory in a category would erase another in the same one. I know it is wrong now. By the way I am happy you visit Hitorimae once in a while.

What are the equipment requirements for developing a Bot? Do I need special audio headphones/speakers? Microphone. I have windows7 is that sufficient? I would like to know Can I chat with keyboard text? These questions probably seem elementary, but I need to know. Thanks

Kenner, it's keyboard chat, and you don't need anything special. Read the Book of AI, and the FAQs, and you'll be bot-making in no time!

How can a chat bot can correct is how memory if there is more than one information in the category of the memory concerned ? I would like to equip my chatbot with a faces/expressions recognition system and forms recognition. Is it possible , if yes how ?

You can just put in another statement after like:

<?PF rem (key1) as "memory contents"; rem (key2) as "memory contents"; ?>

Or what I did for foods (multiple) people like is:

<?PF rem (np) as "foodsyoulike"; ?>

And for favorite food I put 'as only' so there can only be one memory stored

<?PF rem (np) as only "favfood"; ?>


I've never done expressions before so I hope this helps you out.

Octavas,

At a first glance, I was surprised by the (np) plugin in the remember statement. But they actually seem to work! :-0

(np) seems to retrieve the last match to this plugin.

Nevertheless I'd recommend to use (prekey), (key1), ..., (postkey) in remember statements - the (np) might fail in the future.

Another thing: I'd recommend to avoid blanks in memory names (like in your memory name "memory contents" above), you can never know what will happen if you have anything but letters, numerals, and underscores in a variable name.

I'm having difficulty with this. Once you've created a Bot can you go back and edit out your mistakes, or do you have to start over with a whole new bot?

You can use the Language Center to edit your mistakes, or upload a new import file to over-write them.

Indeed , I must be more specific . With my bot an user can have opposites informations stored about him for example
youdislike: rats
youlike: (key1) dogs, (key1) animals, (key1) rats
