Part of my task is to make a system that simulates dictating and sending a text message using Vocon.
I tried using the <...> aka "garbage" rule like this:
#BNF+EMV2.1;
!grammar messageInput;
!start <messageInput>;
<messageInput> : cancel | <...>;
Unfortunately that means I don't get what was said, but rather I get the "<...>" as a result.
How can I make Vocon listen to any speech, but report back to me what was said?
(If the changes need to be done in the C code rather than the speech input grammar, I'm also interested in that)
I asked Nuance tech support 5 days ago and finally a couple of hours ago, here's what they answered:
What you described (returning any spoken text) is dictation -- not
grammar-based speech recognition.
To perform dictation with Vocon Hybrid, you use the server-based or
cloud-based service via the NMSP or HTTP interface.
Please search for "dictation" in the Vocon Hybrid 4.8 documentation.
So summarising, it is not possible to do it the way I was intending to; it requires a different mechanism.

I have a lot of experience with libusb, libudev, and SetupAPI for writing Windows drivers, but it's totally unclear to me what CfgMgr32 offers over SetupAPI for Windows USB applications. Microsoft outlines how one would port from SetupAPI to CfgMgr32, but, I don't really understand the trade-offs or if there are gotchas.
Specifically, most of the time my work involves communicating to bespoke devices with isochronous endpoints, devices with bulk endpoints and HID devices. Is there any clear reason to do one or the other?
One reason is stated at the top of the Microsoft page describing how to port from SetupApi to CfgMgr32 found here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/porting-from-setupapi-to-cfgmgr32.
Excerpt with pertinent part in bold:
This topic provides code examples that show how to port code that uses Setupapi.dll functionality to use Cfgmgr32.dll instead. Porting your code allows you to run your code on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), which does not support SetupApi. A subset of CfgMgr32 is supported on UWP, specifically functionality exposed through the api-ms-win-devices-config-l1-1-0.dll API set (Windows 8 and later) or the api-ms-win-devices-config-l1-1-1.dll API set (Windows 8.1 and later). In Windows 10 and later, simply link to onecore.lib.
Another reason is that the CfgMgr API provides a specific return status code for operations whereas SetupApi returns a value to indicate success/error but a further call is required to GetLastError to get the specific error code of the last operation.
Looking at the MDN documentation IOS/Safari fully supports ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.onfetch but when you look at the FetchEvent specification it says it is not supported at all by Safari.
In particular, I would like to store some state for each client and was hoping to use the fetchEvent.clientId property of the event to index it. Of course I presume I also have access to the fetchEvent.request object otherwise I can't see how a service worker can do anything useful and I could simulate clientID from a passed in parameter in the url. But the docs don't really tell me what IOS/Safari supports and doesn't so I don't know which way to go.
Can someone please tell me precisely what does IOS/Safari pass when it calls the defined onfetch function.
I found the answer to my question by using https://jakearchibald.github.io/isserviceworkerready/demos/fetchevent/
connecting my iPad to my Macbook and debugging my iPad. I was eventually able to open the web inspector for the Service worker for that page, and the console.log showed the event passed in.
FetchEvent.clientID is present but a zero length string. As it happens I did the same thing on my (linux) Desktop using Chrome and its also a zero length string, BUT it has another parameter resultingClientId with what looks like a UUID in it. That parameter is not there in Safari.
The FetchEvent.request is there, and in particular the URL. So I can generate my own client id in the client (I am using Date.now().toString() as that is good enough for my purposes) for use in the service worker. In fact my site without a service worker was using the in the URLs I need to intercept already, so I am happy that I have a solution.
Currently i'm working on a security monitoring app that continuously monitor new processes created.
For that im using wim and event watcher, witch works fine in VB.NET.
But there are 2 features that im missing.
I need to monitor process API calls, and I've been searching the web like mad, and come up empty.
Basically i need to monitor process WaitForSingleObject, LoadLibraryA, CreateProcessW and WriteProcessMemory. And registry access/changes as well.
Im hoping this can be done without a system wide hook, but form what i can find, it cannot be done via WMI.
So the question is, how to, and what can i do with managed code.
I'm gonna focus on the second point as i don't have experience on your first.
For checking if a process is signed i am using the sigcheck.exe from Mark Russinovich, because of the various methods it uses to verify files. Some are catalogsigned, some have the key embedded, there is iirc another weird method. There is no easy way to do it yourself. Had weird false detections with trying self-built methods to cover all possibilities. Hope that info helps
Running on Windows 7 and Server 2012, I have a VB.NET app that uses the System.Diagnostics.EventLog collection of log entries. When I retrieve one particular Security event log entry's Message property I have a bunch of text that looks like "%%2048" instead of something like "Account Enabled". See the snippet below:
User Account Control:
%%2048
From what I have discovered, this may be a "replacement string" that is a kind of place holder for another string. This is new to me and I would like to know how to translate these codes into their final value. When I use the Event Viewer application the final text ("Account Enabled") is visible instead of the numeric equivalent so I know that the translation is possible.
I have seen some posts that talk about using a different class (EventLogRecord) but I have not seen enough that helps me. Can anyone provide an example of how to get a properly formatted event log entry message?
I wound up trying out the EventLogRecord class. Using the FormatDescription method gave me the properly formatted event message body I was hoping for. It just took quite a bit of trial and error to figure out how to use this class as well as how to format a very basic EventLogQuery string (I was trying to avoid using a query string). The only examples I saw of a query string were very complex (to me) and I just wanted a plain old select all records with no filtering. Fortunately, it only took a couple of tries to stumble upon the right brief syntax.
From what I can tell, the old method worked fine for Win XP and Server 2003 (the OS's that the application had been running on). I am now porting it to Windows 7/Server 2012 and apparently the OS has started using the placeholders in the message body in the newer OS's. The EventLogRecord is specifically for these newer OS versions and as such has the features you need to format the message properly.
The tiny question is:
How to start (realplayer ?) playing given online resourse (e.g. http://example.com/file.mp3)
PyS60, C++ or C# via RedFiveLabs would do.
EDIT1: Title changed from "Start RealPlayer on symbian" to the more appropriate.
I think the title is a little misleading if you just want to play back media content and not use a particular application for it.
In C++ there is CMdaAudioPlayerUtility::OpenUrlL() but it's not widely implemented. For example in S60 it will complete with KErrNotSupported status. To play files you can use other open functions in CMdaAudioPlayerUtility such as OpenFileL() or OpenDesL() but you need a separate mechanism for retrieving the files or at least the bytes onto the device.
There is also CVideoPlayerUtility::OpenUrlL() which supports rtsp audio streams but not http.
