Virtual Hypnotist is a free, open source, interactive hypnosis program, and is a rewrite of Hypnotizer 2000.
It includes features such as voice recognition, speech synthesis, subliminal messages, completely customizable scripts (featuring a unique scripting language), videos, audio, and lots more. Its purpose is to simulate a real hypnosis session as much as possible.
Features :
* Script maker, for easily editing scripts, and for creating your own, which uses a flexible and unique scripting language.
* Binaural brainwave synchronizer, for generating sounds that help induce hypnosis (sync brainwaves), and for providing flashing color bars that visually also sync brainwaves.
* Lots of pre-made scripts, from inductions, deepeners, suggestions, etc.
* Two subliminal message systems, which add visual subliminal messages in sessions, and even let you display them on your computer screen while you work
* Hypnotic visual maker, for designing your own hypnotic effects
* Cool presets that get you started instantly
* A session logbook that lets you write down successes, notes, ideas, etc.
