Instructions pour naviguer Meilleurs Airs Classiques -
avec la reconnaissance vocale.
Introduction
Générale.
La reconnaissance de commandes vocales en français n'est pas prêt encore.
La page de reconnaissance de la parole, dans le site de
Meilleurs Airs
Classiques, vous permet
pour sélectionner une page du site, ou de jouer de la musique dans le site, simplement
en utilisant votre voix. Actuellement, cette fonctionnalité marche uniquement avec Chrome le navigateur de Google.
Par conséquent, ceci est une page
expérimentale à ce stade. La seule fois
où vous avez besoin d'utiliser la souris
est d'abord de mettre ce système à
écouter. Ensuite, vous devez autoriser
le microphone. Ceci est une exigence de
confidentialité, de sorte que le
microphone ne peut pas être laissé
a enregistrer votre discours lorsque
vous prévoyez de ne pas le laisser
faire. En outre, vous pouvez écouter ces
instructions vocales par une voix de
votre choix. Il suffit de cliquer sur
une icône 'oreille', ou cliquez sur
l'intérieur de toute texte. Pour arrêter
la voix de parler, cliquez sur l'icône
«oreille d'arrêt», ou appuyez simplement
sur la touche 'X'.
Pour une personne valide, utiliser la
reconnaissance vocale pour contrôler la
navigation peut encore être beaucoup
plus rapide que d'utiliser le menu. Par
exemple, pour utiliser le menu pour
écouter le 1er mouvement de la 5e
symphonie de Beethoven que vous avez
réellement avoir à utiliser 4 clics de
souris, et environ 3 ou 4 caracteres.
Vous passerez par 2 ou 3 niveaux
différents de la hiérarchie des menus.
Considérant que, si vous dites cette
phrase assez rapidement mais clairement
dans le microphone, vous pouvez entendre
la musique presque instantanément: -
le premier mouvement
de la Symphonie numéro 5 de Beethoven
Pour les personnes
ayant un handicap physique à leur bras,
du poignet, de la main ou des doigts, ce
système leur permet d'utiliser leur voix
pour contrôler la navigation, avec une
utilisation minimale absolue de la
souris ou du clavier Il est
accessible du troisième élément du menu
«Commandes Vocales". Ou
cliquez sur Ouvrir Commandes Vocales ici
Le
choix d'un morceau de musique.
Le mot clé à utiliser si vous souhaitez
entendre de la musique est Jouez. Ce
sera généralement le premier mot de
votre demande, bien que cela ne soit pas
essentiel.
Si la musique que vous
désirez est une chanson folklorique, un
air facile à écouter, une comptine ou
tout autre type de musique pour lesquels
il n'y a pas compositeur spécifique,
tout ce que vous devez faire est de dire Jouez
et les mots alors suffisantes du titre
de la musique pour lui permettre d'être
identifié de manière unique. Par
exemple, si vous souhaitez entendre
Frère Jacques, tout ce que vous avez à
dire est Jouez
Jacques, parce que
cela identifie de manière unique le
titre au base de données.
If you want to hear a piece of classical music, it is most likely that you will
need to name the composer, although not always. To hear Tchaikovsky's sixth
symphony you will need to say play Tchaikovsky symphony No.6
3rd movement or
play symphony No.6 3rd movement by Tchaikovsky.
If you only say play symphony No.6
3rd movement this will result in lots of matches, because heaps of composers all wrote
a "Symphony No.6 3rd movement". In fact this is the message you will see in the 'action taken' box:-
I found 4 tunes or works which match your spoken request. Please try again giving more detail.
Symphony No.6 in B minor Pathetique - 3rd movement by Tchaikovsky.
Symphony No.6 in C D589 3rd movement by Schubert.
Symphony No.6 in D 'Le Matin' Hob 1:6. 3rd movement by Haydn.
Symphony No.6 in F Op 68 (Pastoral) 3rd movement by Beethoven.
In the above scenario you will notice that the piece of music you really wanted
came up as first in the list. You will see a green play icon to the left of each
item in the list. To hear your Tchaikovsky symphony (3rd movement),
just click the green icon to the left of the this item in the list.
However, if the piece of classical music you want has a unique word or two in
the title, and also particularly if it has only one movement (basically
if it's a single piece of music) then it is much easier and quicker to get
the piece of music you want. For example, if you say:- play Coriolan
Overture you will hear straight away the Coriolan Overture opus 62
by Beethoven. This title is unique, because no other major composer has written
a 'Coriolan Overture'. Another fairly easy one is play Farewell
symphony 1st movement. This will play
Symphony No.45 in F# minor by Haydn "Farewell" - 1st movement. No other major composer has written
a "Farewell Symphony"
Finding the score, the themes, or a description of a piece of music.
The key word to use if you wish to find out all about a piece of music is
describe. This will usually be the first word of your request, although this
is not essential. Once you have identified a specific piece of music (or 'tune'
the term used mostly by this site), the system will immediately open a
'TuneDetails' page for that tune.
The rules for identifying a tune name are the same as those for playing music (as above), except that the
results will be placed as a new web page in a new tab in your browser. You must
allow pop-up windows in your browser. For any subsequent describe
requests, the page will be placed in this same tab so you only have two tabs
open at all times. The original tab containing the 'Speech' page will still be
open, but you will need to click on its tab to view it.
This 'Tune Details' page has a brief description of the piece, its key and time
signature, its ensemble, category and featured instruments. It displays the
musical notation for each theme in the piece. And for many works, it shows the
score in the form of a PDF file.
For example. if you say describe chopin waltz in d flat
the tune details page for this waltz will open in a new tab, with a brief
description, musical notation for the theme, and the piano score.
Listening to a random selection of music from this collection.
There are two pages in the site for listening to a selection of randomly chosen
music. Once you have opened the page with your voice command, the music will
start straight away.
-
One is called Six of the Best.
This page randomly chooses six pieces of music from a short list of about 150 of
the world's very best classical music. There is no obscure music here, only the
best music in the world!
- The other is the playlist. This page will immediately play 10 tunes chosen at random from the entire Best Classical Tunes database.
The three alternative keywords for this page are:- playlist,
play tunes, listen to music.
This page also provides options for creating a playlist of pieces individually
chosen by you.
Trying to name that tune that's stuck in your head.
This site has an effective way to identify a piece of music when you can sing
its tune inside your head, but can't think of its name. This page is called
'VirtualPiano'. It embodies a dictionary of musical themes, accessed via a
virtual piano keyboard on the screen. You just click up to the first 10 notes of
the tune that is in your head, and it will come up with a list of matching tunes
if more than one. Or else it'll come up with the single tune that matches your
notes
Obviously, once you are on this page, you will need to use the mouse, or touch a
touch-screen, in order to play the notes.
To open this page, the key-words are:- dictionary
or virtual or lookup, or
search tune, or search song.
Getting information about a composer and his/her music.
To view a page about a specific composer, showing a brief biography, a
photograph, and a list of works by him/her, all you need to do is state the name
of the composer. This page also has buttons to play all the works in
sequence, by creating a 'playlist'. For example, if you say
tell me all about Berlioz, this will show Berlioz's page. You
could get here much more easily by simply saying Berlioz.
This page contains a list of music by this composer, in the form of hyperlinks
on which you can click to get to the details page for each piece of music.
Obtaining a thematic index of music written by a specific composer.
The key word for a thematic index is index. It is very
simple, all you need to say is index folowed by the name of the
composer. For example, if you say index beethoven
you will get a complete thematic index of all the works by Ludwig van Beethoven
which are featured in the Best Classical Tunes database. These are listed in
alphabetical order by tune title. Within that, all the themes for a particular
piece of music are shown in musical notation. If the work has more than one
movement, these are obviously listed in numerical order, with all their themes.
Finding out about a specific instrument, and music written for it.
To find out about a specific instrument, simply state the name of that
instrument. For example, if you say french horn it
will go to the 'Opus by Instrument' page for the French Horn. At the top of this
page there is a green play button, which when clicked will play a sample of
french horn music, illustrating the sound of this magnificent instrument. Then
there is a keyboard diagram indicating the range of notes for the French Horn.
As well as being useful for players, this will help composers and arrangers
wishing to write music for this instrument. It then has a picture of a French
Horn and a description of the instrument. Then there are too big red buttons.
The first, when clicked, will play all the music for the french horn that
is in this database. The other big red button, when clicked, will go to the
thematic index of music for the french horn. Last, but not least, there is
a list of music written for the french horn. This is in the form of hyperlinks
to the details page for each piece of music, together with its composer and its
category.
Accessing other features of this site with your voice.
As well as naming composers or instruments to get where you want, you can
navigate by:-
-
the country of origin of the music or of its composer.
For example, just say france to see a page with
musically relevant information about France, followed by a list of French music.
This is in the form of hyperlinks to the details page for each piece of music,
together with its composer, ensemble and its category.
-
the category of music, e.g. symphony, sonata, march, waltz, song etc. For example, say
ballet music to see a description of ballet music, and
then a list of all the ballet music in this database.
- the period in which the music was written, e.g. early music, renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic
etc. For example, just say renaissance to see a
page describing this period and listing music written during this time.
- the ensemble playing the music, e.g. orchestra, string quartet, big band,
military band, etc. Just say orchestra or
trad jazz band or rhythm combo to see
information about that grouping of instruments and music written for it.
- a list of all countries. Just say countries.
This takes you to a page which contains a list of countries in the form of
hyperlinks. When you click on a hyperlink you get to the page about that
country and all its music.
- a list of ensembles. Just say ensembles. This
takes you to a page which contains a list of ensembles in the form of
hyperlinks. When you click on a hyperlink you get to the page about that
type of ensemble, and music written for it.

will arrive at a page which contains a list of categories in the form of
hyperlinks. When you click on a hyperlink you get to the page about that
category of music, and the music belonging to it.

styles. This takes you to a page with a list of
periods/styles, such as impressionist, classical, early music and so on,
