Voice Recognition
The Speaker Client Application
The Speaker Client is a separate
application that works with the
HomeTroller. This application is used
by the HomeTroller to control all
audio functions including voice
recognition, text-to-speech
announcements and playing audio
files. . The Speaker Client can be run
on the HomeTroller and/or on any
number of remote computers.
Events in the HomeTroller can send
audio to a specific computer, a group
of computers, or to all computers
currently running the Client. If a
computer contains multiple sound
cards then multiple instances of the
Client can run on that computer;
each instance of the Client can
control a different sound card.
Installation
The HomeTroller is shipped with its own Speaker Client pre-installed. However, the Speaker
Client may also be installed on any remote computer to allow remote voice recognition, remote
text-to-speech announcements and remote audio file playing from the HomeTroller. To install
the Speaker Client on a remote computer, go to
link. Download the latest FULL version of HomeSeer and run the installer on the PC where you
want the speaker client installed. When the installer starts, select the Speaker Client only install
option.
Event Actions
Event actions for the Speaker Client contain an optional parameter named Host. This parameter
can be used to specify the Client to which the audio will be sent.
The format of the parameter is host:instance, where "host" is the host name or IP addresses
of the computer running the Client and "instance" is the instance name of the Client, for those
computers running multiple instances. When the Client is first run, the instance name is set to
"default". To send the audio to all Clients running on all computers, leave the Host parameter
blank or use an asterisk (*) for the instance.
