Perlbox Voice is a voice command system, aiming to provide an easy to use, easy to configure application that connects spoken human words to computer commands, and vice versa. It allows the user to easily configure vocabularies that consist of "commands" and "responses". When the operator speaks a command (such as "Web browser"), the computer will execute the designated response (e.g. "mozilla"). Versions 0.7 and greater have extendable 'desktop plugins' that allow for desktop (KDE, etc.) navigation and control.

Release Notes: Due to multiple requests, this release features the ability to start Perlbox-Voice with or without the graphical user interface. Additionally, an option was added to run perlbox-voice with minimal printing to the screen. These options can be used together to run perlbox-voice in a headless mode. Type "perlbox-voice --help" to see the list of available options.


Release Notes: This release adds support for backquoted shell command interpolation in the 'say' meta command. This allows the user to add the output from an arbitrary command into the 'say' meta command. The documentation on this feature was updated.


Release Notes: Magic word capabilities were added. This allows the system to run in guarded or continuous mode. A change was made from 'festival_server' to a piped connection to the main festival interface. The current message cycles on the control pane were changed and the documentation and configuration pane were updated.


Release Notes: This release fixes several bugs in the calls to Tk.


Release Notes: This release adds extendable desktop plugins that allow for the navigation and control of popular desktops. A KDE plugin for desktop plugger has been created.
