Version: Ultra Hal Assistant 6.0.103
"Needs work, Still acts like a beta, but great potential."
Pros: This has the potential to be a great product. I like the idea of introducing a personality to the computer and the ability to use the keyboard less. I also like the idea of being able to talk to the computer and the computer responding back with a voice. It was fun chatting with Hal.
Cons: The problems are that Hal seems to still be buggy and is not interesting in the basic download. There are only two characters available to begin with, a frog and a monitor with eyes and a mouth. I was interested in a female talking head character shown on the website. As it turns out you have to pay for that one. You are also asked to pay for several other plugins that makes the price of the product closes to $60.00 for a fully functional version. I discovered how to download free characters and a speech engine from the Microsoft agent site that the program supports but the average user will not know how to do these things. I am a computer professional. Each time I turned on speech recognition, the program crashed. I was able to work in text only mode. I could not teach the program to opem my email client. I tried telling it the path to the executable, but it didn't seem to understand that. I didn't try to get it to open any other programs.
I really wanted this program to work, and its a wonderful idea. It still needs work, better help files and documentation and at least one plain old man and woman character each. Keep at it guys.
