Speech Recognition and Arcpy

WinnKetchum — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 21:56:42 GMT

Hello All,

I've been doing some python development/scripting, trying to figure out how to complete Arcpy processes with speech recognition. At the moment I'm using pyspeech, which utilizes windows speech recognition, and as a test I'm having it do something simply like copy a set of point features. The script works as a stand-alone python script, however when I try to incorporate it into the pyspeech method, I get the an error that the file I'm trying to copy is not supported or doesn't exist. Which to me is wrong, as it works otherwise. Below are copies of the script, both with and without pyspeech, as well as the error I get when using it with pyspeech.

Thank you in advance for any help with this issue.

L1 = speech.listenforanything(L1Callback)

while L1.islistening():

a question... how is the raw syntax and spaces handled by the language program ?? (ie r"c:\yourpath\yourfile.yourextension"

Can you use, and do you get the same error with CopyFeatures_management rather than Copy_management?

Yes, I think the issue was that there were spaces in the pathname. I've utilized r"pathname" before to account for this, however, it doesn't seem to work with pyspeech. I just tried it with a pathname without spaces and it works. Thank you for your help.

I get the same error with CopyFeatures as I do with Copy. It seems it was the pathname itself that was causing the issue. Thank you for your suggestion though.
