How to use Cortana in Windows 7 or Windows 8?

2015-11-13T21:38:00.000-08:00

We all know that Cortana is a virtual personal assistant available on Windows 10 PC. Microsoft has not yet released Cortana for Windows 7 or Windows 8 and many PC users are not able to get benefits of Cortana.

Though we can't run or install Cortana on Windows XP, Windws 7 or Windows 8/8.1 right now, luckily we can use a better alternative on these operating system. This alternative is Braina. Braina has all the features of Cortana and moreover it is also a speech recognition and automation software.

Check out the 101 reasons why Braina is better than Cortana: https://www.brainasoft.com/braina/cortana-vs-braina.html

Braina comes in two versions. Lite and Pro. Braina Lite is a free version while Braina Pro is a premium version with lots of awesome features. If you wish, you can also change Braina's name to Cortana in the Pro version. You can find the complete comparison between the Lite and Pro version of Braina on this page: Braina Lite vs Pro Comparison & Download

Note that speech recognition/dictation feature is only available in the pro version.

Chappie Robot: Is such AI possible?

2015-03-16T05:54:00.000-07:00

Is it possible to bring an A.I. robot like Chappie to life? Chappie is a sci-fi movie directed by Neill Blomkamp of the District 9 fame which stars stalwarts Sigourney Weaver, Hugh Jackman and Dev Patel (star of Slumdog Millionaire.) The movie is based on the hot trending topics of sentient robots and artificial intelligence. Machines can mimic many aspects of human consciousness but they lack the essential feelings. Can machines think, learn and feel like humans?

Well, yes and no. Whether a robot or computer software can think like a human brain is still a controversial questions. What we do know somewhat is that the human brain is a master piece and an enormously complex structure. It contains about 100 billion neurons making about 100 trillion connections in all! By one research, the total information content of the brain can be to 10⁴² bits. But on the other hand we have seen many sci-fi things becoming a reality. Yes, with the advancement in AI technology, quantum computing and processing speed it is possible to create a program that can think and learn. But what about the feelings part? May be we can program a machine to react in a specific way with the occurrence of certain events. For e.g., We can program to make a Robot act as it is happy when it receives some kind of reward. But won't that be a psuedo feeling? The main thing is such AI machine may exibit human level or even superior intelligence in future but they will lack the soul.

When will the real Strong-AI like Chappie arrive?

Well, it is a difficult question to answer but it will take at least another 20 years for humans to create a general Strong-AI system like Chappie or like the one seen in Her movie (Samantha).

Are there any real projects like Chappie?

Yes, many big tech giants are working on such a system. Moreover, many promising start-ups are developing such artificially intelligent system. Brain Artificial (Braina) AI Project is a startup whose goal is to develop a digital assistant software that can understand, think and even learn from experience like a human brain.

How to use Google's Android Speech Recognition in Windows PC

2014-06-08T07:03:00.000-07:00

Windows operating system is shipped with voice recognition built-in for a few years now. Like most of you, I tried it but it didn't worked very well, and hadn't looked at it since. Microsoft voice dictation requires an expensive mic and takes a long time to set up, and it is not a reliable program for accuracy. There are some products like Dragon which are good but they are too costly. Mobile systems such as Android has very accurate voice command capability when connected to the internet. But how to use Google's speech recognition shipped in Android on Windows PC? Lets see how to do that.

Braina Speech Recognition app lets you use Google's voice recognition in your Windows PC. Google's voice recognition is extremely fast and accurate and this wonderful Android app lets you use Android's speech recognition on PC over a WiFi network. You don't even require a microphone! Yes, Braina for Android App will turn your Android device into a wireless external microphone! Lets see how to use it.

Tutorial

Here is a step by step tutorial on how to use Android's speech to text feature on Windows OS and dictate into any software or website.

Download and Install Braina App on your Android device.

Download and install Braina on your Windows PC from this link: http://www.brainasoft.com/braina/
When you will open Braina app for the first time on your Android mobile phone or tablet, it will ask you to enter IP address. Now to get your IP address and connect your android app with PC app you will have to follow these steps:
1. Ensure that your PC and Android device are connected to the same WiFi network. If you don't have a WiFi router, you can also use WiFi Hotspot facility of your Android device to connect or use third party software like connectify to turn your laptop into a WiFi hotspot. Also make sure that Braina is running on your PC.
2. Now in order to connect, you will need IP address of your PC on the WiFi network. To get IP, go to Tools menu->Settings->Speech Recognition from Braina on PC. From the "Speech Option" drop-down select "Use Braina for Android".
3. You will see a list of IP addresses. Enter the first IP address on the list in Android App and click connect. If you get an error, then try entering the remaining IP addresses in the list one by one until you get connected. (Note: IP address will generally start with 192.168)
When your mobile app is successfully connected with PC app, you will see a screen with microphone button in the bottom. To check connection, tab on the button and say something like "Who are you?". This, wont get dictated but Braina will actually give reply to that question as we have not enabled dication mode yet. Braina is actually a personal assistant like Siri for Windows PC. You will see something like this.

Now in order to dictate into any software or website in your PC we will need to enable dictation mode. To do that tap on the small button which is on the right side of the microphone button (the button which is highlighted in the image below).
Done. The App's title will show you whether you are in dictation mode or not. Now open some software like Notepad or MS Word and start using voice recognition in your Windows PC!

If you are facing some problem in following the tutorial then feel free to comment below or contact Braina Support.

C program to find nCr and nPr (Combinations and Permutations)

2013-09-04T05:17:00.000-07:00

This is a C language program code to find nCr (Combinations) and nPr (Permutations). Note that the program uses following formulas to find nCr and nPr.

The permutations formula is (P(n,r) = n! / (n - r)!). The combinations formula is (C(n,r) = n! / r! (n - r)!). The exclamation mark in the formula suggests factorial. To avoid repetitiveness, we are using a function to calculate factorial.

/* Program to calculate nCr and nPr by reading values of n and r from user*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
long int factorial (int x);

int main ()
{
    int n,r;
    long int ncr,npr;
    printf ("Enter value of n:");
    scanf ("%ld",&n);
    printf ("Enter value of r:");
    scanf ("%ld",&r);
    npr = factorial(n)/factorial(n-r);
    ncr = npr / factorial(r);
    printf ("npr value is:%ld\n",npr);
    printf ("ncr value is:%ld\n",ncr);
    getch ();
    return 0;
}

/* Function to calculate factorial */
long int factorial (int x)
{
    int i,f=1;
    for (i=2 ; i<=x ; i++)
        f = f * i;
    return (f);
}

Output

Note: I have used FireCMD shell to compile the program.

C Program to find LCM and HCF (GCD) of two numbers

2013-09-04T04:09:00.001-07:00

This is a program code to compute LCM (Least Common Multiple) and HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two numbers entered by user in C programming language. Note that LCM is also called lowest common multiple or smallest common multiple and HCF is also called greatest common divisor (GCD) or greatest common factor (GCF).

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
 
int main() 
{
    int a,b,x,y,temp,gcd,lcm;
    printf("Enter first number:");
    scanf("%d",&x);
    printf("Enter second number:");
    scanf("%d",&y);
 
    a = x;
    b = y;
 
    while (b != 0) 
    {
        temp = b;
        b = a % b;
        a = temp;
    }
 
    gcd = a;
    lcm = (x*y)/gcd;
 
    printf("Greatest common divisor is %d\n", gcd);
    printf("Least common multiple is %d\n",lcm);
 
    getch();
    return 0;
}

Output

Note: As shown in the image above, you can compile the program using FireCMD shell.

C Program to Convert Binary into Decimal Number

2013-08-26T22:21:00.001-07:00

Here is a source code of simple c programming language program to convert a binary number into a decimal number. This program will also convert the fractional parts.

#include<stdio.h>
#define MAX 1000

int main()
{
    double fraDecimal=0.0,dFractional=0.0 ,fraFactor=0.5;
    long dIntegral = 0,bIntegral=0,bFractional[MAX];
    long intFactor=1,remainder,i=0,k=0,flag=0;
    char fraBinary[MAX];

    printf("Enter any fractional binary number: ");
    scanf("%s",&fraBinary);
   
   //Separating the integral and fractional parts
    while(fraBinary[i])
    {
        
         if(fraBinary[i] == '.')
             flag = 1; //If dot is found start taking the fractional part.
         else if(flag==0)
             bIntegral = bIntegral * 10 + (fraBinary[i] -48); /* char - 48 to get the numerical value.*/
         else
              bFractional[k++] = fraBinary[i] -48;
         i++;
    }
   
    while(bIntegral!=0){
        remainder=bIntegral%10;
        dIntegral= dIntegral+remainder*intFactor;
        intFactor=intFactor*2;
        bIntegral=bIntegral/10;
    }
   
    for(i=0;i<k;i++){
         dFractional  = dFractional  + bFractional[i] * fraFactor;
         fraFactor = fraFactor / 2;
    }

    fraDecimal = dIntegral + dFractional ;

    printf("Equivalent decimal value: %Lf",fraDecimal);   
    return 0;
}

Output

Note: I have compiled the program using FireCMD shell.

Types of Software with Examples

2013-06-24T14:00:00.000-07:00

So the question is "how many types of software are there?". Well there are two main categories of software. Some sources divide software into three categories. Well, this article will explain each type of software in details with examples.

There are three types of software:

System Software
Application Software
Utility Software (most of the people include this as a sub-category of application software)

System Software

System software is a collection of one or more programs used to control and coordinate the hardware and other application software. Generally the system software may perform the following functions:

Communicates with hardware devices. Controls and monitors the proper use of various hardware resources like CPU, memory, peripheral devices like monitor, printer etc.
Supports the execution and development of other application software.

Few examples of system software are:

Operating system
Programming language translators
Communication software
Compiler and Interpreters
Command line shell

Application Software

Application software is a collection of one or more programs used to solve a specific task.

Generally software used in banking industry, airline/railway reservation, generation of telephone or electricity bills etc. all fall under application software.

Few examples of application software are:

Word processing software
Spreadsheet software
Database software
Education software
