Project: System

About a month ago, System was planned for a huge visual update. After some time thinking about what the update would offer, I’ve come to a conclusion that functionality is way more important than cosmetic changes. As of right now in the early age of System, it just needs to work properly before throwing in more code to get myself tangled up. A System clean up and polish is on it’s way, and then maybe then I may introduce the visual update.

Update: Efficient Web Searching

System has just received a new update to how she searching things on the web. Prior to this update, System was only able to access specific websites that were hard-coded into the script file. Now, System is able to access any website URLs and a general search powered by Google.

Additional Information About System

In the 1st post of this blog, “Introduction to System”, it’s mentioned that System uses the Web Speech API. How the Web Speech API (more specifically, the Speech Recognition Object) is coded works only for Google Chrome as of right now.

Update: System’s Randomized Greetings

In order to start System’s voice recognition cycle, the user has to greet System by saying, “Hello System”. Before this update, System only replied either, “Good morning, how can I help you?” or, “Good evening, how can I help you?”, which, is assigned to only 1 variable. Now, System has more than 1 variable to greet user’s with by utilizing the combination of an If statement and the Math.random method.  How this updated version of System’s salutation works is by assigning each greetings variable to a number and using the Math.random method to choose which variable to use. This update is to meant to add more variety to System to try to make her come alive just a little bit more than her regular and repetitive 1 line reply.

Introduction to System

Hello and welcome! My name is Tswjfwmeng Vang and I am the developer for System. This blog is dedicated to System’s journey to becoming a prosperous web app that sufficiently executes commands through voice action.  System uses JavaScript for its functionality and it utilizes the Web Speech API to receive commands and also to vocally return an answer to the user (The voice that returns the answers is named System-- I’m essentially personifying the machine by naming her.) 

The idea of System wasn’t sparked by a random thought while laying in my bed,  but rather a work-in-progress by an inspiration found on a forum website. A thread of creative web developers that come together to share their personal projects took a hold of my interest. These projects were called, “Start-Up Pages”. I’ve made only 1 Start-Up page my entire life, but I always updated it whenever I thought of a new idea. Over time I also became inspired by Iron Man’s AI, Jarvis, and I wanted to engineer something that could potentially shoot me in the right direction of discovering what the true possibilities of AI can be.

This will be the end of the introduction to System. Updates of System will be posted and so will issues that I’ll run into when working on her. 

Stay tuned! 

Thank you!
