The story:
i downloaded some random stuff in the internet. Some WiiU-SDK-stuff from archives. Just to see what files there are...and if i can find something...then i stumbled upon it!
i cannot upload it here. But it clearly says "Cafe Vocalizer" guys. the codename is "Cafe MW Vocalizer". I also had to think a few minutes wtf this is! But then i remembered. Is this really what it says it is?
DO you know what this means?
Yes. This is the equivalent to a "Cortana" speech-assistant on MS Windows. However unlike Cortana which relies on the internet this doesn`t. This is an offline-tool.
They made several tests with it. This stuff is working! They gave them names like "Claire", "Xander", "Karen", "Lee", "Daniel", "Serena" etc. for each language there are several voices to choose from (male/Female)!
So for those of you who don´t know what this means or what a "Vocalizer" is used for:
A vocalizer is a software, which can RECORD VOICES (from Radio, TV etc) to create a text-file when it hears it. This is a typical software/Application you find on today´s smartphones as well.
BUT! You may also use the opposite direction and simply read the text for the user, which the user gives to the machine. This is the more-commonly used function today:
You read manuals. The voice then tells you what it reads.
However remember guys: THIS IS 100% OFFLINE. No cloud required. So this doesn´t use "ai" like on a smartphone and relies on the internet. No Google needed.
I wonder if they also planned some true translation-software of complete texts...I´m now just amazed however. Quite interesting stuff these files! I would have never guessed that NIntendo had SUCH plans for the WiiU. There is also a game/techdemo which is called "AngryBots".
Yep. "Angry Bots" was an old iOS/Android-techdemo based on Unity. This was also created for WiiU!
Btw: This is also were people got the IBM Espresso manual from which lately was posted on Reddit.
This Cafe Vocalizer is a big tool. It contains several hundred voice-data/Files (just like old Voice-recording/reading software in 2000s!).
The supported languages are: English, french, german, italian, kok (?), dun (?) is that danish (?) and some more like japanese of course.
I reckon it includes a function to link to the DSP-library.
Since this seems how it works. The audio-processor of the WiiU was programmed here to handle/support wav.files.
And wav.files are recorded through TV or via Radio or are used on CDs etc...
I cannot tell you more about it now.
I just found it out.
I have to handle this first. It is quite interesting, that Nintendo planned in ~february 2015 for WiiU to get a Voice-Software. Which would have allowed it to record anything on TV/Radio etc...which is then saved as a wav.file...and then it reads it for you! Or the opposite: You simply record your voice. And then it´s stored as a text-file.
So what do you guys say about this? I am just confused now, to be honest. I mean...yeah i can understand the WiiU has a microphone...And if i think over it: It makes too much sense! The WiiU´s microphone wasn´t used in many games, was it? So by giving it a voice-recording software...which gives more user-comfort would be quite...well nice!
