Hi Ecallan,
Welcome to the forum!
Would it be ok if your Kobo device had to be connected to the usb port of a pc/laptop?
The basic idea is to use a speech recognition program and telnet to send commands to the Kobo device.
Since I am a windows user, I started experimenting a little with visual basic script and the windows inbuild speech recognition program sapisvr.exe.
Page turning per telnet does work, so I did not include this part in my current experiment.
What I have now is a visual basic script that
- starts a telnet session and connects to the Kobo device
- waits for speech input and sends (depending on the speech input) commands via telnet to the Kobo device.
Currently, my main problem is that the speech recognition is completely unreliable. If you are a windows user and have already some acquaintance with sapisvr.exe you might possibly get better results than me.
Now my question. Do you think this is something worth continuing?
