Thus was born Project Victor. Victor was named after the first voice pack I choose for the system and it stuck (plus I just love to name things). I've talked to Mom a lot about what she might want, and the list of features is not simple:
- Online radio (particularly WMIT streaming from Black Mountain, NC)
- A Telephony interface that she could use to call people
- Podcasting streams (set up in advance and downloaded automatically)
- Some simple audio games, like guess a number
- She has limited space and mobility, so I would like to place the "server" in a different room
- The voice interface has to be a simple, command and control voice interface
- Automatic sleep and wake modes. This means that after x minutes of inactivity it goes to "sleep" until it is awakened by calling the programs name ("Hello Victor").

As you now, we are expecting soon and when I was thinking about the baby monitor I thought of this post. It might work to allow the voice to be picked up and put back into the server.
