Re: Re: Comfort - Which UCM/Serial box to use ?

[Alan Shields <alan@xxxxxxx>]

You can connect them to the line in/out ports of your sound card. 

Looking at the ucm documentation It seems to be able to emulate a keypad so
perhaps you could use voice recognition/synthesis software to control the
pc from another keypad.

I would imagine you could have audio output from the pc play on all the
keypads in response to an event instead of being restricted to comforts
word list.

I think its another one of those things that's limited only by your
imagination but I don't have much imagination;) 

SWMBO only ordered mine last night (birthday present) so  I won't get to
play with it till next week, I'm thinking of connecting it to my TINI board
as a web interface.

I'll probably work feverishly on it for about half a week and then lose
interest, but you never know...
