Ok - I've done a lot of searching with google for info on what I'm about to ask, and haven't found enough to accomplish what I'm after - so if anyone has the answers (or even just ideas on how to proceed) I'd love the help.
I'm fairly new to Python, but not to OO programming. I've written a simple wx application that uses an SpSharedRecognizer for voice recognition, and currently sendKeys to send control applications. The basic ideas came from Inigo Surguy's web page describing voice recognition in Python. The problems: 1. The application is specifically tailored to World of Warcraft, and it will not be useful to the folks who might otherwise use it if I can't share the audio in with Teamspeak and/or Ventrillo. I currently have Push-to-Talk implemented by clearing the wordsrule when it's not listening and setting it when it is. That, as far as I can tell, will not allow another app to grab the audio in device. My first notion of an idea on how to accomplish this came from the following code at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp? url=/library/en-us/SAPI51sr/html/VB_ISpeechRecognizer_AudioInput.asp It looks there like they are releasing the audio-in. However, setting the AudioInput property to None in Python results in an exceptions with a type mismatch. Question: Do you think clearing the AudioInput property will actually release the audio-in? And, what is the correct way to do it in Python? 2. sendKeys works - but it has the problem of causing McAfee to perk up and raise a warning on the python interpreter. I can tell it to allow the script to run, but it only works until the next time I close and restart the application. Question: Is sendEvent a better way to do this? And is there a nice web site with sample python code about it? Thanks from a python newbie for any insights you folks have. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
