[NSRCA-discussion] Android "caller"

[Ihncheol]

Bob,
What is the exact name of that app?
VAMP, Voice Action Media Player shows something else.

I found an app called VAMP "Voice Action Media Player"  . . . .  it can be completely voice controlled.  
It would be easy enough to create MP3 files of the maneuvers and group them into "albums" by class.  You could say "Play Masters" to get all the files queued up, and it has a speech command to prompt it to take the "Next" command.  

Except is does not seem to work on my Samsung Galaxy Note II phone. Still playing with it.

My iPhone scoring app reads the maneuvers to you and moves to next or previous with a swipe of the screen, but I think to be truly useful as a virtual caller it needs a way for you to SAY next or previous -- I'll look at that after I get done with a little project for Mark A.

Mark, in case you are wondering, I have the DB hosted in the cloud now, I'm just working on the web front end, taxes came first :-)

I have one for Windows CE but not Android.  I wrote this while learning C# and run it on my HP iPaq device.  It reads in maneuvers from an XML file like this:
 
<ManeuverSequence Name="2009-2010 Sportsman Sequence">
  <Maneuvers>
 
  <Maneuver Name="Two Inside Loops">
    <KFactor>2</KFactor>
    <Type>Upwind</Type>
    <Description>
      Model pulls up and executes prescribed number of consecutive
      loops; all loops shall be round and superimposed.
      Downgrades:
      1. Loops not round.
      2. Loops not superimposed.
      3. Wings not level during loops.
      4. Changes in heading during loops.
      5. Exit not same altitude and heading as entry.
    </Description>
    <AudioFileText>
      Two Inside Loops.
      Pull into two inside loops.
    </AudioFileText>
       <AudioFilePath>Sportsman 2009-2010\TwoInsideLoops.mp3</AudioFilePath>
  </Maneuver>
 
It displays the maneuver name and plays the audio file.  Pressing anywhere on the screen goes on to the next maneuver.  I always intended to have the left side of the screen move to the previous maneuver and the right side move to the next maneuver, but I didn’t get around to that.  The voice commands would a terrific idea!  I also hoped to allow users to see the entire maneuver description (scroll through all of them when not using it as a caller), but I didn’t get to that either.  The main display has a timer across most of the screen, since the placement of my iPaq obscures the timer on my transmitter.  If you were using voice commands, you wouldn’t need to have the device where you could touch it to change maneuvers, and you wouldn’t need the timer.
 
I attached a 24kb screenshot.  Hopefully that comes through…
 
I can provide the OOAD documentation (Enterprise Architect) and source code (VS2008 using C#), if anyone’s interested.  I know Java, and this would be easy enough to rewrite in any OO language, but I know nothing about writing apps for Android.  Adding the ability for voice commands could be easy or difficult depending on what open source exists and how good it is.
 
Thanks,
Bob

With all the Android reader and voice command apps out there, has anyone tried to configure something to be an "Android Caller" ???  It would be nice to type in short forms of the maneuvers and then have them read back through a bluetooth earpiece with configurable voice commands like "next" or "repeat".
