Voice commands (voice-to-action) and QB64
« on: December 14, 2020, 10:51:20 pm »
I have an application in mind which requires giving a program running on a lap top 'start/pause/continue/stop' commands while driving my car, and I would really like to be able to do that via voice commands rather than having to hit keys, both for the sake of convenience and safety.

Anyone managed to accomplish that functionality with QB64? Any ideas welcome.

I'm vaguely aware of Microsoft Custom Commands, but am not sure if QB64 can interface with it:

I'm not at my PC but I am very intrigued by this. I go on a business trip this week but when I get back I will definitely be adding this to a list of things to research. Audio recording is possible in QB64 so it stands to reason that one could interface with an API that checks what is recorded for matching against a list of words. Very interesting. Thank you for mentioning this topic.
