Hey everyone,
So... I really wanted to learn object oriented programming, and also wanted to give back to the awesome Orbiter community, and I wanted it to be big. So I set myself the goal of creating an addon that would add speech recognition to Orbiter. After many work hours, countless setbacks, learning curves, and discoveries, I have finished coding it. My first addon!
Here is the description of the addon:
So now I'm making the doc file, and finishing minor details to prepare it for the closed beta stage. Because of university work, this may take about a week, hopefully less. Beta testers need the following:
*Microsoft Speech Recognition Engine, this comes with an Office install, and some computers come with it. Otherwise, google is your best friend!
*Headset
*Patience, because i'm still a noob at programming and making addons!
Any volunteers?
Thanks!
