Microsoft Agent - Desktop and Non-commercial website software. Reads world news, weather, market quotes and sports highlights with only a small code required for insertion onto webpages.
This software is a great tool for your desktop or non-commercial website. The Microsoft Agent is capable of reading the latest national and world news, weather updates, market quotes, and sports highlights. The best part is, you only need to cut and paste a small bit of code to add this feature to your website. There is no programming required, making it accessible to everyone.
Since this is a client-side script, it works on every web page hosted by any provider or stored on your local computer. The contents are dynamically generated from our website, so you don't have to worry about technical support.
Modifying the code is possible in several ways. You can make changes statically and post it to your website, or create it dynamically via server-side scripts on your web page. For further customization, there are several parameters you can alter.
ZipCode parameter allows you to exchange "28310" with any valid U.S. zip code. However, be careful when changing the Agent parameter. You should NOT exchange "Merlin" with another specific Microsoft Agent character because the script will not work if the character is not loaded on the user's system. The character "Merlin" is preloaded on all Microsoft Windows platforms.
The Animation parameter can be set to either "Yes" or "No". Turning it off completely allows for compatibility with Agent characters that do not support the full animation list found in the original characters from Microsoft.
The AutoStart parameter can also be set to either "Yes" or "No". If set to "Yes", the character will start reading the latest news when loaded. However, if set to "No", the character will introduce itself and then wait for your command.
Lastly, the MyName parameter can be set to any URLEncoded string that you'd like the character to call you. Overall, this software is easy-to-use and highly customizable. It's a great addition to any website.
