Hi just wanted to ask who actually created Sikhi to the max its a fantastic project and if they are ready to publish there source code and maybe move into an opensource project for this. Or to open up to a more bigger team of developers.

I was thinking that it might be time we take advantage of voice recognition software now, so we can easily run queries to retreive shabad using sophisticated voice recognition software.

These days during conferences we find very sophisticated algorithms in use which easily decode anyones speach into text, without training the software, and training software recognition packages are very common.

Many people fear the finishing of the punjabi language if many programmers and maybe sgpc and funding by them come through we could develop a system in which when raagi reads something a salok is automatically found;

this could lead to the future of easy on the go shabad finders, perhaps even help to provide subtitles for alpha etc punjabi harmander sahib and sikh channel bangla sahib live programs.

Also maybe Sikhi to the max should be looking to output subtitle compatible media which broadcasters could use very easily.

It would be nice if Sikhi to the max project would open up feedback bit, they have done a great job but its time to expand the project, the project has helped bringing Sikhi to older generations and newer ones but we need to keep up to date with technological

trends. I know many say we should practice purthan tradations but we are risking loosing them if we are not ready to move with along with time and newer technology.

Very good ideas and suggestions there veer ji

[SikhRoots]

Gurbani Anywhere seem to have taken off where STTM left off and I have a feeling its going to be really big when they release more of their projects. If you want to see projects like these take off, I would suggest donating to their cause as I am sure they could do with the help.

SikhRoots - that would be great...

I use Gurbani Anywhere for the iPhone and its amazing... with some of its features like its fast speed, live search, ability to go next shabad (useful when Pauree comes in Hukamnama etc), it would be great to see it come to the PC, would make finding shabads/hukamnama much easier in Divaans.

Gurbani Anywhere sevadar - are you planning anything like that? Or are SikhiToTheMax planning updates?

It is great to hear that you are enjoying the features in Gurbani Anywhere, this is only possible with the sangats feedback and support. Yes, GA Windows Desktop Edition will have all the current GA features and many more and will change the way we present / interact with Gurbani presentations in Kirtan darbars on a global scale. Sikhs will soon be able to interact & network through the GA global network and will hopefully change the way Sikhs around the world communicate. Most of the new features are TOP SECRET but we will keep the sangat updated with release dates.

We are planning release of GA Windows Desktop May/June 2010. Please support our project in anyway that you can, we are solely funded by our two man team any contributions will help us greatly.

Thank you again for your kind words of support.
