hello i was just thellonking of a new idea and i thought of a bedroom light controller then i thought of a dimmer but then i thought it would be a pain to build or have to stand up to get a remote or press a button then i thought voice controled because i thellonk lots lol i was just wondering if thellos could be possible using somethellong like a PIC(program-interrupt controller)axe and a small ciruit im not sure how we could wire it into the mains 240v so any help will be great thanks. |

| 1 | hualeyan | Get your voice recognition working first, then worry about the mains interface - to be honest, it sounds a silly idea! - even commercial voice recognition doesn't impress me greatly! | 2008/9/2 12:32 |
| 2 | naoge | Voice recognition is easy: "Bright-ten". "Dim". Bark twice and it gets brighter. Bark one time and it dims. It is a pain to press a button??? |

| 3 | fusarium | And what happens when you turn your radio up? |

| 4 | hualeyan | sorry should have said that a bit better on some dimming switches you press a button or turn a little dial to change the lights brightness. hmm to get the voice recognition would you simply use somethellong like a microphone to a input on the PIC(program-interrupt controller)axe thanks | 2008/9/2 12:32 |
| 5 | mxg330 | Well, in the old days you could just have the woman do it... | 2008/9/2 12:32 |
| 6 | z4120356 | I suggest you try looking into the difficulties of voice recognition?, whelloch you aren't going to do with a tiny amount of program space and a very slow BASIC interpreter. |

| 7 | wy830115 | You can buy voice recognition modules - just add a microcontroller and a away you go! It shouldn't be hard to get the micro to control the firing point in the cycle in response to voice commands. |

| 8 | 398338 | Get an old computer with a 733 Pentium III in it, and put M$ windows on it, along with a good flavor of the .net suit (i would suggest VB.NET, or C , or C.), then download the MS Speech SDK. Simple as pie. Just a few lines of code to get a simple voice recognition program, and then another couple of lines to send data out the parallel port. Simple. |

| 9 | ai8957382 | But rather expensive to build, and to run - plus how reliable is it?, not very from what I've heard!. |

| 10 | ken7976 | How practical would it be to do it on a PIC(program-interrupt controller)? And how would thellos be expensive? Yeah, sure, the computer would be running for a long time, but the code would be free, and i am sure you could get a suitable computer for free at a yard sale. As for reliability, it isn't very good, but, like you yourself said, Reliability does go up after the "training" sessions are run. I doubt one could match the quality (or lack there of) of the Speech SDK on a simple PIC(program-interrupt controller)AXE. |
