![]() Last week at CES, meanwhile, Amazon announced that it was bringing Alexa functionality to Windows 10 PCs through a select number of manufacturers.Īmazon has also, interestingly, brought some voice functionality to its mobile shopping app, while forgoing the functionality for the Alexa app until now. Microsoft has taken a similar route, offering up Cortana as an add-on app for mobile devices, in order to extend its reach beyond the desktop. W ithout handsets of its own, the company has had difficulty competing with the likes of Google Assistant and Siri on that front. Though each of those offerings have been a somewhat customized solution. The company has added some select functionality on Android devices, working directly with manufacturers like Huawei and Motorola to bring it to specific devices. Mobile has, of course, been a big missing piece in Amazon’s Alexa push. A similar update is also on the way for the iOS App Store, but its timing is still up in the air, likely due to Apple’s stricter vetting process. ![]() The update is being rolled out over the course of the coming days through Google Play and Amazon’s own Appstore. The addition of voice commands means users can speak directly to their handset the way they would an Echo - to play music, trigger Alexa skills and the like. Up to now, the app has been little more than a way to manage settings for the Echo and other smart home devices built around its smart assistant. QUEUE_ADD, null ) Īnd that’s it! As soon as the user clicks the GO! button from now on, the result will be uttered as speech by the API.Amazon’s slow push into mobile is getting a lot more real this morning with the addition of voice integration into its Android app for Alexa. Navigate to the GO! button’s onClickListener and add the following line right after the part where we used setText(): textToSpeech.speak( String. Let’s now declare a global reference to class TextToSpeech: TextToSpeech textToSpeech Īnd then initialize it in our onCreate() method: textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(this, this) This is just required because we’re implementing an interface (following OOP principles). We will keep the method without an actual implementation for now, as the current use case of the app does not require an implementation. Simply, go to the MainActivity class signature and change it from: public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity For this fairly short task, we will use Android’s built-in TextToSpeech functionality.įirst, the class needs to implement the TextToSpeech Listener. We will use this in the app in order to have the API read out loud the result that the performCalculations() method returns. Speech synthesis is the process of converting text to speech. Now those methods in MainActivity.java class should like something like this:Ĭreating The Speech Synthesis Functionality The above two code segments need to be copy-pasted into all of the three onClick methods we have, but with different request codes. ENGLISH) startActivityForResult(intent, 10) LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM) intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent. Let’s add some extra data (for housekeeping purposes and language selection) and start the intent activity with a request code: intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent. Let’s begin by creating an Intent instance for the recognizer: Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH) Therefore, our Intent code needs to be resident in all of our onClick methods. The onClick methods we have will take care of recording and transcribing speech into text so that we can deal with it as mathematical operations. We deal with this intent much like any other Android intent. ![]() This is done by adding the following line before the tag in AndroidManifest.xml: Īndroid has a built-in speech recognition API in the form of an Intent. Let’s start off this section by asking for RECORD_AUDIO permission. Now to the beginning of the interesting part of this tutorial. Creating The Speech Recognition Functionality

![]() It may have a flight model as realistic as Elite, or a trade model as captivating as Starflight, but at two o'clock in the morning, all you can think of will be how to roast that damn pirate ship to make nice salvage operation afterwards. With amazing graphics, strong "you are there" atmosphere, excellent plot, and best of all, a great sense of freedom in the vast gameworld, Privateer is a must have for every gamer's collection. However, the plus side is that the game is still playable afterwards, by accepting missions from the mission computer or Merchants/Mercenaries Guild. My only gripe with the game is that the ending is rather disappointing, especially considering that the last battles are very difficult. And as if all that isn't enough, the game also has a very interesting main plot that combines elements of political intrigue, backstabbing surprises, and sci-fi cliches into an absorbing space drama. Power management features borrowed from Lucasfilm's X-Wing have been added, adding a nice dimension of challenge. The combat interface and flight model carry over from Wing Commander games and are very effective, although they still blatantly ignore the laws of physics (banking is impossible, for instance). You will also see some stunning space station interior renderings and planetside city views Origin evidently had a lot of fun with its in-house 3D rendering software. Because Privateer takes place behind the front lines of Kilrathi/Confederation conflicts, ships you will encounter are also more colorful and varied, and loose-floating cargo items reveal a surprising amount of close-up detail. While still relying on bitmaps, images are now sharper, details are much more abundant, and pixellation is greatly reduced in comparison to the WC series. Privateer and its storyline is part of the Wing Commander series. The space combat engine used in Wing Commander 2 was greatly improved in Privateer. Wing Commander: Privateer is an adventure space trading and combat simulator computer game released by Origin Systems in September 1993. There are over 64 star systems you can explore, all adding to dozens of hours of sheer entertainment. In turn, most solar systems are dabbed with their own planets, space stations and jump points to other systems. The action takes place in the Gemini Sector, each quadrant in which is teeming with solar systems, Kilrathi and Confed ships, pirates, asteroids and other hazards. There are always many missions you can choose from, and you can ignore the main plotline as long as you please by taking on less important jobs. You are free to explore the Wing Commander universe by taking on the roles of merchant, mercenary, smuggler and/or pirate. So begins Wing Commander: Privateer, one of the best mercenary space combat games ever made. It comes alive with an eerie green glow, and moves silently off. One of your missile shots goes awry, hitting a dormant object. Being the hotshot pilot you are, you turn the tables on them. Before your first deal, you are attacked by roving pirates. With it and your few remaining credits, you decide to seek your fortune in the frontier Gemini Sector near the borders of human and Kilrathi space. You are an experienced space crewdog who has just inherited an obsolete Tarsus scout/merchant ship from your grandfather. ![]() BF staff too, you guys know the draw he created, that’s the controversy and opinion aspect. Rube’s posts and comments have been a mainstay on this site for years. Hey geomechs and Leiniedude join me on this. Hey Rube/Howard!!……this stuff is your forte, we all need your input and comments and knowledge about trucks, big and small. Even if it is not your interest, at least you can appreciate that the hobby as a whole is healthy thanks to vehicles like this. It checks all the marks of the desirable features people want in a truck right now. ![]() I would imagine he would buy this truck in half a heartbeat. If you are familiar with any of the VINWiki videos on YouTube, you might know “Rabbit” who has a pretty strong passion for trucks like this. It is comforting to know that the cabin is complete and inviting which takes the pressure off of buying this truck and figuring out where to start. Something that might want to be asked about is climate control and how well that all works. A brand new bench seat has been installed, along with all new carpet, trim pieces, and door seals. Inside is the true gem of all this truck has to offer. They do not mention anything about brakes, so you would want to contact them to about how it stops. They have lowered both the front and rear of the truck, giving it a sportier overall look. That is connected to a Muncie four-speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly. Powering this short-bed pickup is a 327 cubic inch, small block V8 with 202 heads and a lumpy camshaft, which runs and sounds well at idle. The listing includes and VIN, as well as indicating a clear title, and a posted 118,115 miles on the odometer. It is located in the salt-free climate of Tucson, Arizona. Is that enough though?įROM 9/20/19 – Is this the quintessential truck of today’s patina and performance fascination? This 1968 GMC has it all and you can buy-it-now for $16,250 or you can also make an offer. UPDATE 10/16/19 – This sweet C10 has been relisted here on eBay with a $3k price drop. ![]() You can switch between the three editor windows using Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 and Ctrl+3.

You can further customize the shortcut by adding more sources, or tweaking how you want to present the feed. Step #10: And, you’re done! You can now run the shortcut by tapping the “Play” button on top. This can be achieved by adding the “Open URLs” action. Step #9: Now that you have selected an article to read, the next step is to open the URL. So you could have it as “Select an article to read:” To do so, add the action “Choose from List.” The “Prompt” option is where you specify the action you want to take, which is to select an article. You will see your current RSS reader listed at the top, followed by any application Mac OS X has identified as valid RSS reader, including Safari, which lets. The easiest is to create a list, from which you can select the desired article. Step #8: The result of the above step will be a list of articles, but to display them, you can opt for a variety of methods. Step #7: Once you add “Published Date” as the sorting criteria, you’ll also notice a new field called “Order.” You can either choose the oldest or latest articles to appear first. ![]() Tap the “Sort by” field and select an option, for example, “Published Date.” Step #6: As a next step, you can sort the items from the RSS feed by adding a “Filter Articles” action. You can also specify how many articles you want to pull from the feed. Since we’ve already specified the feed URL in the previous step, in the URL field, pass the feed URL by tapping the URL variable listed at the bottom. Step #5: Add RSS feed action “Get Items from RSS Feed” to retrieve individual articles from the feed URL. ![]() In the URL field, enter the RSS feed link. Step #4: Since an RSS reader requires a feed URL to function, we start by adding a URL action, which you can do by typing it in the search bar located at the bottom. Step #3: Tap the “Settings” icon on top right, and give the shortcut a name, for example, “RSS reader.” You can also tap the “Icon” option to change it to something that matches your shortcut’s function better. Step #2: Open the app, and in the Library tab, hit “+” on top to create a new shortcut. Step #1: Download the Shortcuts app from the App Store, if you haven’t done so already.

However, it’s not possible to hear everything that’s going on and they don’t do any rapping in this particular montage, so They’re perhaps the weakest part of the display in that sometimes, it looks as though they’re just there to make up numbers in this particular video. Perhaps it’s the sweat towel he’s looking for? The third prop is the use of hype men. I’m not sure what he’s trying to find in his pants, but he seems to find it and whips it out to the delight of the audience. ![]() The second weapon he makes good use of is the crotch grab. The sweat towel is his strongest prop, being there to wipe his brow and whip the audience into a frenzy. Props also come into play with the performances. He pulls this persona off really well, having a stage presence to match the content of his lyrics. Even so, everything he does is controlled and calculated The brand of rap music Tokona performs is one that relies even more on having the attitude that you’re the best, you’re on top and nobody comes close. Of the rap and non rap music artists I’ve seen, he is more aggressive and that’s what you’d expect. He was doing something different from the other Japanese rappers, but in a way that felt natural and as though he was making a contribution to the art form. That’s the original reason I began listening to him. It’s as though the relaxed way he goes about his art is because that was his calling and that comes through in his mannerisms. A big part of Hip-Hop is entertaining the audience and that’s the reason rap music came about a way to entertain the crowd. It’s got to be the excitement he generates by his gestures and the way he looks at the crowd. He’s quite aggressive and yet relaxed very happy in his own skin to be doing something he enjoys and that’s the way to get the crowd going crowd going. ![]() When he takes to the stage, he seems to be in a new place, up there doing his own thing to entertain the crowd without worrying about anything else. The thought of seeing him live would be one of the greatest things I could do but unfortunately, that will never be possible. For me, hearing him on a track is a powerful experience. ‘Shirazaa Itte Kikaseya Show’ (知らざあ言って聞かせやSHOW) is followed by ‘I’m in Charge’, then ‘Nexxxt Big Thing’. My favorite one is actually three songs mixed together with the live audio and video, then the live video and studio recording. I’ve seen some before, several years ago, but got interested in a few of the suggestions at the end of another Tokona video I was watching and decided to check them out. ![]() I recently re-discovered a few of Tokona’s live videos. We all dream of meeting our heroes in the flesh and sometimes dreams are all we have. |
