I wrote this book in 2000 and finally pulished it in 2002. It includes all of my development notes, third-party, and open-source resources for building your own basic Chatbots, Web Bots, IMBots, and Virtual Humans.
Includes some simple and effective code to give your chatbots voices using free TTS (Text to Speech).
May 2003; Bronze Medal Winner; Best Learning Bot Category
This bronze medal is beautiful and heavy. Sometimes I wear it around town and let my boyfriend touch it too. Lol!! The 2003 Chatterbox Challenge was the first and only time I had competed in a chatbot contest. I am hoping to find time in the future to compete in more competitions again.
I used my chatbot application 'Onkwehonwehneha A.I.' during this competition. Onkwehonwehneha A.I. is a mohawk phrase that translates to mean 'Native Way of Doing Artificial Intelligence'.
I have since developed many Chatbots, IMBots, WebBots, and Virtual Humans for many differant endangered and dead languages including; Mohawk dialects, Blackfoot, Inuktitut, Ojibway, Gaelic, and many other languages and cultures.
My Mohawk Chatbots have a knowledgebase with 200,000 Mohawk to English and English to Mohawk translations that also include the Natural Language Processing codes that make them able to correctly pronounce the Mohawk Dialects for English speakers with their current english speech engines. This is very exciting and valuable because my work can now be used by other computer programs to make them Correctly pronounce endangered languages.
Many of the endangered and dead languages do not have adequate speech engines, this is why I have created the speech technology solutions that I have, for endangered languages. You can contact me anytime, to request that I help you to create speech recognition solutions for ANY Language.
