Voice Trigger / Speech Gestures / LSL Event?

I have the speech gestures working, and my question is

How does it know your talking and How can i handle that even in LSL

For example. I have typing animation overrider that puts up a /keyboard/ when i type and how it works is simple, its alpha, and when typin its not alpha etc


How do i trigger that on 'voice' so that i could have a object on my avatar that is alpha and goes not alpha when i am talking.....


thanks!

This was a requested feature in JIRA (http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-231), however it never got any traction, as the voice functions are separate from the sim servers to reduce the possibility of lag. The only way I could think of would be to make a voice gesture that would say something on a channel, and have your item respond to this chat by hiding/unhiding. I don't know enough about the voice gestures at this point to say if it's feasible or not though.

At first glance, it looks like one could make what amounts to a (very inefficient) AO that detects when one of the speech gesture animations is playing on the avatar, and trigger stuff from that. One would compare the last element of the list returned by llGetAnimationList to see if it's one of the speech animation keys -- assuming the user didn't redefine the animation to be played for those gestures. Not a terrific solution, but not sure if a better approach is possible with none of the speech feature exposed to LSL.

that is a wonderful idea

thankyou
