Can I use Voice Commands (Speech) to control the DVD Player?

Problem: I want to insert a DVD in the the DVD drive and use voice commands to stop, pause, play, move forward, move back, and quit the DVD Player. Is this possible? If so how would I do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can create a speakable item. Use AppleScript Editor (Applications > Utilities > AppleScript Editor) to write the appropriate AppleScript to perform the desired action, and give it a name which is the command you want to speak. Then, make a subdirectory in the Speakable Items directory named "DVD Player" and copy your script to it. You should be able to speak the name of the script when DVD Player is in the foreground and have the script execute.
An example script (Play.scpt):
tell application "DVD Player"
play dvd
end tell
Other commands that the DVD Player application understands:
fast forward dvd
pause dvd
rewind dvd
stop dvd
step dvd
go to \[ main menu / title menu / subpicture menu / audio menu / angle menu / beginning of disc \]
press \[ up arrow key / down arrow key / left arrow key / right arrow key / enter key \]
open VIDEO_TS
open dvd video folder
play next chapter
play bookmark
play named bookmark
play video clip
play named video clip
exit clip mode
obscure cursor
eject dvd
The DVD Player application also has a bunch of properties related to chapters, titles, subtitles, etc.

Can you use voice command to get map directions

Does the iphone 4 have the ability to use a voice command to get map directions----then display the map?

You need a third-party app like: TomTom or Navigon. There are others in the app store.

Hi,
Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether there is a hardware problem with the optical drive itself.
Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( as should your Recovery Discs ) , so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive or the sata controller.
On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if your noteboo will run this OS from the CD. The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.

Let me know if this will run.
Regards,
DP-K

Ignore voice commands / Speech Recognition Server timeout

I'm fairly new to AppleScript but I've found it really entertaining and gloriously simple to pick up so far. I've been using it mostly to make my own speakable items for the Mac's voice control, and I've managed to write some basic things like voice commands to set/change volume and brightness. My goal at this point is to be able to do the majority of things I want to do on my computer by voice only. Sue me - I just rewatched Iron Man and I really wish I had a JARVIS system right now.
This means that the computer must always be listening for commands (I have set it to 'listen continuously with keyword', and set the keyword as 'optional before commands'). It defeats the purpose if I have to walk over and hit a key to start listening for commands. At the same time, I don't want to have to speak a keyword, because I will invariably forget to do so and it's also an added hassle (especially when I have several commands to say - I don't want to have to say the keyword before each command).
You might have an idea of where this is going. Obviously, if the computer is always listening, it will pick up on normal conversation and try to interpret it.
I could just deactivate voice commands when I'm not using it, but as I said earlier, I don't want to have to either hit a key or say a keyword. In other words, I want to be able to activate and deactivate voice commands by voice. Deactivating is easy. Activating is what presents an interesting problem, because if it's deactivated, how will it hear my reactivation command?
Thus, the first part of my question: is there a way - any way at all - to get voice commands to ignore commands until given some keyword, short of literally changing its settings to listen for a keyword before the command?
I decided to try to use speech recognition. This must, I think, be involved in some way, because as I said earlier, this presents the unique problem of having voice commands deactivated yet still able to recognise the reactivation command. I had noticed that while the computer is listening for a specific command, it ignores anything that isn't what it is listening for. I tried to use this to my advantage and wrote a script to listen for a reactivation command; until the reactivation command was given, the computer would ignore everything else. The problem is that the speech recognition server times out after two minutes. I have tried to increase this, but to no avail (see below for my attempts).
Thus, the second part of my question: assuming there is no other answer to my first question, is there a way to get speech recognition to listen indefinitely?
Here are the two things I tried to make the timeout last longer, specifically for five minutes (300 seconds) in both cases. Neither worked; both timed out after 120 seconds.
tell application "SpeechRecognitionServer"
set userinput to listen for {"resume voice commands"} giving up after 300
end tell
and
with timeout of 300 seconds
set userinput to listen for {"resume voice commands"}
end timeout

UPDATE: I have since come up with an alternate solution. I created two speakable items, one for 'deactivation' and one for 'activation'. The deactivation command uses UI scripting to set voice commands to 'keyword required' mode (i.e. the keyword is required before each command); the activation command simply sets it back to 'keyword optional' mode.
I figure that as long as I choose a keyword that's unique enough that it (and things that sound like it) won't come up too often in conversation, the computer will ignore anything I say once I activate the keyword requirement. Then, I only need to say the keyword once along with the reactivation command to bring it out of this 'ignore commands' state.
In a way, this is actually better, because it allows me to continue to use voice commands if I really need to, as opposed to having to say the reactivation command to get my computer to listen to me, saying my intended command, and then saying the deactivation command to make it ignore me again.
All the same, if anyone has answers to any of my two original questions, please don't hesitate to share your knowledge! It might come in handy later!

Can't use voice in Yahoo chatrooms. w/ x-fi n vista rc1 wiht USB mic

I am now using my USB, but still no sound in YM, anyone know why?
I know think this is affected by creative soundcard, but why?

I'm not able to get the microphone input to work on my XFI card as has been reported by other people on this forum. Looks like recording may work only under Vista apps directly from your note but not with any 3d party applications such as Yahoo & Team Speak.
In my case - similar to the fact that 5. works under Vista's built in audio control panel but so far none of the 3d party (games/MP3/video) will stream back audio in anything other than 2..

Can I use voice recognition to fill in an existing template?

Is there a way to use voice recognition to fill in blanks on an existing (self-prepared) form? Can I prepare the blanks on the form in a way (e.g., tabs) that lets me use voice commands to move the cursor from blank to blank? Imagine a simple list of questions. I would like to find a way to use voice commands to move the cursor to the end of the next question once I finish dictating the answer to the previous question.

Even though it works fine when all of Firefox Portable is
wrapped?
While I am at it, do you know if SOCKS wrapping the correct term? Perhaps it is port mapping? I am unsure which is why I put it in italics.

Using Voice command to call some one...

Hello,
On the key note presentation in June the Steve Jobbs had done he used voice command to call a person.
How do you go about doing the set up for that. I can not seem to do it.
Sean

I could swear he did because he made a comment along the lines that "today's technology" ...
I could be wrong but I can not quote his comment but I know he made a comment about it before he did it.....
Oh well. One would think with the issue of driving and cell phone this would of been included.

Can I use my Maschine knobs to control multiple instruments "smart controls" in LPX independently?

Can I use 1 hardware contoller to control multiple instruments "smart controls" in LPX? For example....if I mapped 1 instrument's smart controls to my maschine contoller would it overwrite them if I mapped another instruments smart controls to them? I'm wondering if I can switch between mapping's based on which instrument/track I have selected. I know I can do this with quick learn feature....problem is you can only use 1 knob with it.

Thank you for your help, my example is working. Please look the my revised example and let me know if I'm making it more complicated than necessary. In order for it to work,
1. I created a cluster on my front panel to hold the control group reference numbers,
2. Converted it to typedef,
3. Used bundle with name to stuff the control reference numbers into my RefCluster,
4. Used the RefCluster typedef in my subVI,
5. In the subVI, I had to add a variant to data command before using the data.
I also extended the example to actually change values on the front panel to verify that it worked as I intended.

Can I use short commands in CCNA exam

Can I use short commands in CCNA exam
for example
“conf t” instead of “configure terminal”

Sim questions are always answered by configuring
something!
The Exam Engine grades the running config, not the
startup config
Before exam day …
Practice as much as you can (real gear, simulators, sample
tests, read every configuration in books, repeat labs while in
class, etc.)
Use multiple sources for practice/review of configurations
Exam day …
Do what you can—partial credit!!!
Start with “show running-config”
There are no style points!

After upgrade to ios5.0.1 i can't use voice calls

After upgrade to ios5.0.1 i can't use voice calls - people simply do not hear me. Microphone seems to echo sound back instead of sending it over. Ideas?

Try "resetting" the device...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Can I use voice recognition software with Pages?

Can I use voice recognition software with Pages?

Apple provides Dictation services as part of OS X that must be enabled in System Preferences, and then activated while in the Pages document. Then you can speak and it will type what it thinks you said. It is learning software, and over time, better recognizes your voice pattern.
Then there is Dragon Naturally Speaking for nearly $200 USD.

Can't hear Voice Command prompt over bluetooth headset

Hello,
I paired my Jawbone Prime headset with my new iPhone 3GS, and for the first day or so I was able to activate Voice Commands by pressing & holding the "Noise Assassin" button. First the headset would beep, then the Voice Command screen would come up on the iPhone, and when the the phone was ready, I'd hear the Voice Command prompt. Everything was great.
Then, suddenly one afternoon, the headset beeped an extra time, and I no longer hear the Voice Command prompts. I don't hear the initial prompt, or any further prompts such as "home or cell?" or the voice telling me what song is playing.
I have tried pairing/unpairing, resetting the phone and the headset, and every combination thereof.
Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions?

I wish I could say that was the problem, but it was not. I keep the phone in vibrate mode all the time, but I took it out to try and increase the volume for notification, but it was up all the way already. FYI - the bluetooth volume is all the way up too.
I sent a message to Motorola last night to see if they have a solution. They already upped it to the next level of support to resolve, so I am hoping to hear something from them soon.
