Actually, this isn't for speech recognition - i'm trying to come up with a simple way to use key triggers to activate visuals.<br><br>For example: if the piano plays A440, i'm presuming PD can be configured to recognize that pitch with a microphone input and then echo out a text string - the letter "A", perhaps. <br>
<br>I have a presentation program that can be configured to accept keyboard strokes to activate visual events. <br><br>Does that example make sense? PD sounds like it should be able to handle that capability pretty easily...<br>

speech to text in opensource software is still poor, and even poorer for languages other than english. afaik pd also doesnot have a builtin solution for that. you could try to use a different program for that and parse the text, or you could try more basic approaches within pd (like pitch recognition, amplitude/envelope following, or rhythm/melody recognition.<br>
I am sure there are some commercial solutions out there (like in the iphone) that have good speech-to-text recognition, including dictionaries.<br>
sorry that this probably is no real help for you, maybe someone else knows more?<br>

Hello! I'm new to PD and was wondering if i could get a "working start" -<br>
<br>
i'd like to someday be able to create a PD applet that can take audio input from a microphone and convert the sounds to text that can simultaneously be applied to a concurrently running program, like a word processor or a presentation program that accepts alpha-numeric input to trigger events. Can someone create a PD example that does the following:<br>
<br>
1. echo Alpha/numeric characters based on variable pitch<br>
2. echo alpha/numeric characters based on volume<br>
3. echo alpha/numeric characters based on rhythm (ie, number of pulses per second or minute)<br>
<br>
Sorry if this sounds simplistic - if i can see an example of a PD patch that can incorporate these elements, that will go a LONG way to helping me learn how to program PD on my own!<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions, PD list!<br>
