Adding the ability to retrieve the microphone input as a string #2434

Open Gamemap opened 3 years ago

Gamemap commented 3 years ago

Describe the project you are working on

A game like Emergency 4

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

I want to receive the microphone signal as a sentence to run a function. (If you do not have enough time to select the objects with the mouse because too much is happening in the game at the same time).

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Get the microphone singnal as a string.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

$AudioStreamMicrophone.get_as_string

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

I don't think so.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

It is used in many programms (also in some games). So I think it should be included in core or in an official add-on.

It seems you're basically requesting speech-to-text support. Speech-to-text isn't a simple problem to solve (it's still far from perfect today), and I'd consider it to be add-on territory.

Yeah, looks like he wants speech to text. Definitely addon territory (and I say this as someone who often relies on STT)

Thank you, speech to text is exactly what I need. I will look at #983.
