curious about advanced scripting... Options

[steadybeatz]

hello all my name is tommy. i have just gotten a copy of DNS 6. i must say it is very fascinating. i have done the whole talking to my computer thing. using macros playing pre recorded .wavs. its really easy to impress your friends that way heh. anyway i am curious about retrieving dynamic information from my computer, via the telephone. for instance.. i call my cpu thru a regual modem, it picks up and then i say a command, or enter dtmf tones..
however im not really sure how to do that.. plus how do i go about getting information about my cpu?
like diagnostics tests through the phone. ok so i know i dont have the best "question asking skills". i guess i would just like to know more about the advanced scripting techniques.. like is there any open source i could check out? or maybe links to some?
any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks

steadybeatz,

Follow Marty's suggestion for Advanced Scripting commands information.

I have never tried what you are proposing, but I don't think that it will work. You would have to set and train DNS to accept "line in" sounds and then install a jumper from the modem to the "line in" on the soundcard. It is likely that the inherent electronic noise found in phone and modem lines would make this difficult. Also, you would have to leave DNS running on your home machine and it is never adviseable to leave it running unattended. If your computer misinterpreted a command or tone, you never know what it might think you are telling it to do - the results could be scary!

Just for the sake of argument, you might be able to get around the problem of noise by making a custom dictionary that was very limited. If you only had to deal with a few dozen words or commands, the accuracy would be much better. Of course it's more practical to fix up a palmtop or laptop computer to remotely hook up to a home computer and not bother with Dragon at all (except perhaps on a laptop).

well instead of a vocal command, it would be more like me pressing numbers on the phone. and i just train the sounds of the tones. and for the part about the modem.. i was thinking. maybe i could have that hooked to the soundcard on another cpu. then run like line out to the cpu wioth dragon.

Steady, what you want to do is possible (I have it set up) but not really with SR (such as DNS).

Take a look at my response in this thread

Basically I monitor my PC using a program called Motherboard Monitor http://mbm.livewiredev.com/

MBM can monitor your motherboard for temps from Cpu, HDD, GFx and Mobo. It can also sense Fan speeds.

Using Home Automation, I can check the results by phone, Web GUI, Pocket PC GUI, E-Mail ....
