I didn't see an answer in their forum. I can try if you think that would be the best place for this.

Greetings, I would like to use voice recognition on audio played by my computer (i.e. turning incoming phone calls into text). Utter seems to be the best option for turning speech into text. WASAPI seems to be the best option for turning an audio output into an audio input. Any idea on how to make voice recognition work in such a way? This following snippet is the initialization of Utter, and I don't see a way to point it to anything else: Func _Utter_Speech_StartEngine() $h_Context = ObjCreate("SAPI.SpInProcRecoContext") $comer = @error $h_Recognizer = $h_Context.Recognizer ;Global $h_Grammar = $h_Context.CreateGrammar(1) $oRecoContext = $h_Context ;ObjCreate('SAPI.SpSharedRecoContext') $oVBS = ObjCreate("ScriptControl") $oVBS.Language = "VBScript" $oNothing = $oVBS.Eval("Nothing") $oRecoContext.CreateGrammar(0) $oGrammar = $oRecoContext.CreateGrammar() $h_Grammar = $oGrammar $oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc") _nullifyvariable() Global $array[8] $array[0] = $oRecoContext ;spinprorecocontext $array[1] = $h_Recognizer ;main recognizer $array[2] = 'null' ;Null handler $array[3] = $oVBS ;Script $array[4] = $oNothing ;Nothing $array[5] = $h_Grammar ;Grammar verbs $array[6] = "Error:" &$comer ;error notifications $array[7] = $oMyError Return $array EndFunc

What I've been able to glean from the conversation up to this point is that TheXman thinks the best way for me to answer my soft phone at work with a recorded greeting is by using Stereo Mix as an input device, which would allow the audio played by my computer to be sent as a microphone input. That plan sounds to me like it would send feedback to the caller if they talked during the greeting, which I would prefer to avoid. Is that a reasonable concern? If so, does anyone have another method of playing a file so that only that sound (and not all computer sounds) output goes into the microphone? If not, what do you think would be the best way to implement the switch between microphone and stereo mix?

I don't use the F1 button at work, so it seemed a convenient choice. My primary concern with what I understand your idea to be is that it would backfeed any sound the caller makes back to the caller, which I would prefer to avoid.

Just want to make sure I'm following your idea. Are you thinking something like this? #include <GUIConstants.au3> AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1) Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Global $Main_GUI = GUICreate("", 162, 100) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Close_Function") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, "Close_Function") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_RESTORE, "Close_Function") HotKeySet("{F1}", "F1_Hotkey") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Main_GUI) While 1 Sleep(10) WEnd Func Close_Function() Select Case @GUI_CtrlId = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case @GUI_CtrlId = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE Case @GUI_CtrlId = $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE EndSelect EndFunc Func F1_Hotkey() ;Something involving stereo mix SoundPlay("Greeting.mp3") ;Something involving stereo mix EndFunc

Any idea how to take an audio file (I don't have a preference which kind – mp3, wav, etc.) and play it by means of a hotkey in such a way that the sound is heard by the user, and, at the same time, the sound is sent into the microphone input as though a microphone heard the sound? Context: At work, I answer VoIP calls all day long with the same greeting. I want to poke a button and have the greeting done automatically in a way that I know it was done.

That makes sense! Thank you. My actual purpose would require something like 300 GUIs to do that--have any cleaner way to do that?

Thanks for the suggestion. I rewrote it as you suggested, but it is still suffering from the same problem: The buttons on the Secondary Selection Window are all behaving as though the first button clicked is $Main_GUI_Button_1, regardless of if you click $Main_GUI_Button_1, $Main_GUI_Button_2, or $Main_GUI_Button_3. #include <AutoItConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Func Declare_All_The_Variables() Global $Main_GUI Global $Main_GUI_Button_1 Global $Main_GUI_Button_2 Global $Main_GUI_Button_3 Global $Secondary_Selection_Window Global $Kill_Secondary_Selection_Window Global $Secondary_Selection_Window_Choice_1_Spawned_From_Main_GUI_Button_1 Global $Secondary_Selection_Window_Choice_2_Spawned_From_Main_GUI_Button_1 Global $Secondary_Selection_Window_Choice_1_Spawned_From_Main_GUI_Button_2 Global $Secondary_Selection_Window_Choice_2_Spawned_From_Main_GUI_Button_2 Global $Secondary_Selection_Window_Choice_1_Spawned_From_Main_GUI_Button_3 Global $Secondary_Selection_Window_Choice_2_Spawned_From_Main_GUI_Button_3 EndFunc Func Create_Main_GUI() $Main_GUI = GUICreate("Main GUI", 200, 120) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Exiting_Function") $Main_GUI_Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Main Button 1", 0, 0, 200, 40) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Main_GUI_Button_1, "Do_Events_Specified_By_Which_Button_Was_Pushed") $Main_GUI_Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Main Button 2", 0, 40, 200, 40) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Main_GUI_Button_2, "Do_Events_Specified_By_Which_Button_Was_Pushed") $Main_GUI_Button_3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Main Button 3", 0, 80, 200, 40) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Main_GUI_Button_3, "Do_Events_Specified_By_Which_Button_Was_Pushed") EndFunc Func Do_Events_Specified_By_Which_Button_Was_Pushed() Switch @GUI_CtrlId Case $Main_GUI_Button_1 Local $Mouse_Position = MouseGetPos() If Not WinExists("Secondary Selection Window") Then $Secondary_Selection_Window = GUICreate("Secondary Selection Window", 160, 69, $Mouse_Position[0] -

mikell, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.

I see your point. What you see is an excerpt of a ~25,000 line script, and other portions rely pretty heavily on the OnEvent functionality. I'd really prefer to find a way to get this to work without trying to rework so much.

Greetings, I have a GUI on which are GUICtrlCreateLabels appended with $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG because I want to be able to use them to click-and-drag my GUI. They used to be buttons, but buttons do not allow for $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG, so now they are labels masquerading as buttons. These labels, who in their soul are buttons, are invigorated with GUICtrlSetOnEvent, so they do a thing when they are clicked. My trouble is that when I drag my GUI with one of the GUICtrlCreateLabels, it also activates the GUICtrlSetOnEvent. I want the GUICtrlSetOnEvent to only activate if my click does not drag the GUI. I tried having the function called by GUICtrlSetOnEvent look at where the GUI is, but it only checks that after I let go of the click, so it doesn't fix it. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have some computers with incredibly slow hard drives, but plenty of RAM. Is it possible to use the RAM as a temporary hard disk so it doesn't take 2 minutes to load a 30MB .pdf? It seems like it should be, but I haven't figured out how.

I will!

Excellent observation! Do you think I could un-ternary-ize some of those functions and make it work?

Do you think it could have something to do with me trying to do this on Autoit 3.3.8.1 instead of something like 3.3.14.5? I can't use anything newer than 3.3.8 because something about it sets off the Anti-Virus.

I'm not sure if the manner in which I call the function is the issue. If I run SciTE's SyntaxCheck Prod on just the WinAPIInternals.au3 by itself without any of my code involved, it gives me the errors I mentioned above. Wouldn't that, to some extent, exonerate my code? That being said, I've been trying to figure that out (Script is over 4000 lines long). My script doesn't ever directly call _WinAPI_GetString or even have an include for WinAPIInternals.au3. I do have a #include <WinAPISysWin.au3>, which does have a #include "WinAPISysInternals.au3", which does have a #include "WinAPIInternals.au3". The _WinAPI_GetString function never appears in the WinAPISysWin.au3 or WinAPISysInternals.au3, and the only time it exists in WinAPIInternals.au3 is as itself. At this point, I don't even remember why, specifically, I have #include <WinAPISysWin.au3> in there, but if I comment it out, it seems to make some radio buttons I have in a child GUI fight with some radio buttons I have in the main GUI. (By fight, I mean that it looks like GUICtrlDelete applies itself to undesired things. I don't know if that's a symptom of GUISwitch() or something else or what.)

Hello! When I went to turn my .au3 into an .exe, I encountered an error that I never had while using F5 in SciTE to run the program.

My trouble is that a different portion of my program (Search Function) was already using WM_COMMAND, so when I stick the two portions together, I can either make the ColorPicker work, or I can make the search function work. This is the portion of my code that doesn't get along with the ColorPicker: Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam) ;search function primer #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode $hWndFrom = $lParam $iIDFrom = BitAND($wParam, 0xFFFF) $iCode = BitShift($wParam, 16) Switch $iIDFrom Case $Search_Field Switch $iCode Case $EN_CHANGE If GUICtrlRead($Search_Field) <> "" Then ConsoleWrite("Search Item 1: " & GUICtrlRead($Search_Field) & @CRLF) Search_Function() EndIf EndSwitch EndSwitch Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc If I leave it in, I can't pick colors. If I take it out, I can't search. Does anyone have any idea how to make them get along?

My code is about 3000 lines long, so I don't think anyone really wants to read it. Playing around, I have figured out that it is not the number of @CRLF in the tip, but if the tip becomes tall enough that it hits the top of the screen that makes it flash.

Hello! I have some radio buttons in my script, and each has a GUICtrlSetTip assigned. It works fine with short to medium length tips, but if I make the tip too long, it repeatedly flashes about once per second ad infinitum. Is there some limit to the & @CRLF & number per tooltip that I don't know about? Thanks!
