[APP] AutoStroker

Post by figroll »

A simple random stroke task generator. You (optionally) supply some porn, run the program and you will be given random instructions (number of beats, speeds etc) and a simple metronome style click track.

The program has no graphics other than a simple command line window which can be minimised. It is intended to be used with a Text To Speech (TTS) utility that can monitor the clipboard (TextAloud, etc). I.e. if you run one of these programs the instructions will be read out to you as well as the stroke clicks.

To install just download the zip, extract it into any folder and run AutoStroker.exe. If you want to tweak the parameters you can edit config.xml which contains instructions on what the various settings mean (although it's mostly obvious).

Windows only, requires .NET 4.0 (which you probably already have).

Source code for those worried about security risks of random, anonymous exes on the Internet (which you should be) is at: https://bitbucket.org/figrollapps/autostroker/src

Enjoy,
Figs.

It is a clean and elegant solution. It looks like something my partner and I will use. And of course I do have some suggestions.
  • provide a readme or instructions file that describes how to modify the language, close it gracefully and any other config settings. Include a link to a free tts tool.
  • define a way for a mistress to allow cumming or not.
  • make it something for the web instead and add tumblr feeds to it.
The customizable dialog is a great feature that is implemented elegantly.

Does it actually keep.a record of uses? How long do sessions go?

Very nice work! Thank you.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

To be honest it's just something I hacked together for my own uses as I wanted a random stroking instructor with random rests to build some lovely frustration :-) and then I just stuck it on bitbucket on a whim. Which is why it's so basic. In fact I mainly wrote it as I really liked the Stroke Training teases but they don't work in Guide Me so I missed the TTS you can get with other teases.

To answer your questions:

1) I added some brief instruction here : https://bitbucket.org/figrollapps/autostroker/wiki/Home including links to a free TTS reader.

2) Would be an excellent addition I agree. Although see my comment below.

3) Web solutions are not as easy for me to do as I am and old school Windows programmer rather than one of these Macbook and Latte type youngsters :-) There is also the issue of hosting it of course. Although I do like the idea of tumblr feeds.

As for how long it lasts, that is configured in the config.xml file and by default is between 10 and 50 and exercises. It doesn't keep score and instead the instructor just gives you an absurdly large number to aim for as I happen to like the ideas of forlorn, hopeless tasks :-) I.e. the idea is that you would finish training in a frustrated state, realise this was not going to end any time soon and you could expect to come back tomorrow for more. The mistress/master is the best person to judge these sorts of things I always find :-)

If people like this sort of thing I would probably write something "proper" rather than improve this as the current hacked together, edit config files and command line process approach is somewhat limited.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it :-)

I'm really glad to hear that someone else uses the TTS feature of GuideMe. Most people don't seem to like TTS for teasing because it isn't realistic enough. I think, with the right voice, you can suspend your disbelief enough to enjoy it. For me, it is highly dependent on the tease itself and how the script is written. But it is a feature I wouldn't want to lose in future versions!

Thanks for sharing the AutoStroker. I've downloaded it and looked at it briefly. It looks very promising; I really like how we can write our own "taunts" and adjust the parameters as we see fit.

Text to speech as a tool in general is a black box to most. I have historical and medical reasons to know about the details of it but to most it doesn't even register as a thing.

Thinking about what you said: I like the default voice that comes with Windows 7 and have not bothered to install others. That said, it can be comical in pronunciation. I know there are other voices and other TTS engines out there. Do either of you have a preference on engine or voice? Knowing there are options will help community adoption.

The best ones are unfortunately commercial. My favorite by far is Neospeech's Julie (see link below). There are several voices available, though, that could be loosely interpreted as "sexy" or "strict" for the purposes of being teased. ;-)

Here I will quote myself from the GuideMe thread. There are some good links and examples of the many great TTS voices and engines available:
Trusfrated wrote:TTSReader is free and has worked well for me. I know there are other clipboard readers available however, I tried a couple others and they didn't seem to be able to "see" all of my installed voices like TTSReader did. I read somewhere that it might be a 32/64 bit issue, where the voices were 32 bit but my OS is 64. Never been an issue for me because I just use TTSReader. It will "watch" the clipboard and automatically read when there is a change. Also, it has a pronunciation manager that allows you to "force" the way the voices interpret certain words. For instance, you can take the word "giggle" or "giggles" which tease authors often use and change it to be read as "he he he" to make it slightly more like a laugh. :lol:

The best voices, and the only voices that I'd say are worthwhile for listening to teases, are unfortunately commercial. There is a standard called SAPI which allows a voice to work with any SAPI4/SAPI5 compatible reader. I'm sure it would be against the TOS of this site for me to give you links to download these, but if you are familiar with certain sites that hosts torrents, you should be able to find any of them without much difficulty (Brewster linked one of them above).

Voices from Loquendo (Allison and Susan, recently acquired by Nuance), NeoSpeech (Kate and Julie :thumbsup: ), and Acapela (Heather, Laura, and Bridget) are my favorites. I recommend you try the interactive demos I've linked here and see which ones sound good to you, and then try to seek them out.

Here is also a demo page with an avatar that includes all of the above voices and many more.

I'm still looking for Tracy and Ava, a couple newer ones that sound promising.

Hope that helps! :-)

For free, Microsoft's Hazel is not bad and is included in windows.

My favourite voice is Ivona's British Amy which you can try here: http://www.ivona.com/, although I am not so keen on their reader software. You can of course take Amy's "I will read anything you want" prompt as something of a challenge :-)

The various free readers only tend to see the free voices as well as possibly they have their own non-SAPI APIs? Although I have not bottomed this issue out as I just use TextAloud which is cheap enough if you are buying a voice and also allows me to generate mp3s. http://www.nextup.com/TextAloud/

The code for using the voices is actually very easy so I might have a play with that. The big problem with using the clipboard is that your program has no idea when the phrase has finished being read out. Which is why I have to have a fixed delay for the taunt and hope that it's finished by the time I next update the clipboard. Some of the readers display errors if you change the clipboard before they are finished (which is stupid really).

The other thing I would like is a source of captions where the caption also comes as plain text. I.e. so I can show the original picture and have the caption read out.

In general I like TTS a lot and don't find the fake voicing a problem; there is such a massive suspension of belief involved in the whole thing anyway. Although I can see how other might find them distracting.

My other TTS tips:

1) The French voices can be very sexy although reading English is a bit sketchy and so individual phrases can be a bit hit and miss.

2) Experimenting with phonetic spelling can sometimes help.

3) They are a good way to spot spelling mistakes. Although equally Teases with typos in can be very annoying! :-)
