Thought I'd give speech recognition a whirl, so after installing pywin32 I navigate to the makepy script in the Viz 4 site-packages but all I get is an error message thus:

Code:

C:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard4\bin\lib\site-packages\win32com\__init__.py:89: ImportWarning: Not importing directory 'C:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard4\bin\lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py': missing __init__.py

    f = open(fname,"w")

:confused:

Would be nice to be able to start moving my work over to 4, but am a bit stuck because I also use other automation objects via makepy, so its quite a biggy for me.

Any ideas whats going on from that error message?

You probably don't have write permissions for that folder. Try running the makepy script using admin privileges.

Ok, well managed to get makepy to run through the Viz 4 interactive prompt (is this a valid method of doing this?) using this code:-

Code:

 

import win32com.client.makepy

win32com.client.makepy.ShowInfo("")

- select the MS Speech object from the list and it spits out this

Code:

Microsoft Speech Object Library

 {C866CA3A-32F7-11D2-9602-00C04F8EE628}, lcid=0, major=5, minor=4

 >>> # Use these commands in Python code to auto generate .py support

 >>> from win32com.client import gencache

 >>> gencache.EnsureModule('{C866CA3A-32F7-11D2-9602-00C04F8EE628}', 0, 5, 4)

However when I then run the speech.py script I get this error message-

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "", line 11, in 

  File "C:\Users\APD\Documents\Nige_PHD\Vizard_Python Development\speek.py", line 56, in 

    class ContextEvents(win32com.client.getevents("SAPI.SpSharedRecoContext")):

TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases

    cannot create 'NoneType' instances

Any ideas?? Am I doing something wrong :confused: I got it to work in Viz3 with very little problem.

Interestingly I have just managed to manipulate the IFCsvr activeX object with no problems - however I am using this within my code-

Code:

from win32com.client import gencache

gencache.EnsureModule('{B2173F4D-1371-4649-8554-310D6DC1734F}', 0, 1, 4)

I've noticed this method is different to what's being used in the Speek script (as it is presented in the knowledgebase article), what am I doing wrong can anyone tell? :confused:

nige777,

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I only ask because I'm having the same problem even though I'm logged in as 'Administrator'.

Thanks.

Ignore my previous post. Simple permissions problem. How embarrassing!
