A new 'latest' version of the "Virtual Hypnotist" has been announced. See E-mail below. "Virtual Hypnotist" thus far has been made available by the creator for free.
You may find it helpful. It is certainly worth investigating. Past versions of this program have not been trance producing for me, but I will give this one a thorough test. I believe that if hypnosis is ever going to be interactive via computer, it will be Ryan or someone like him who has put years of thought and sweat into it.
This does not consitiute an endorsement or a critique, merely a suggestion that you investigate for yourself.
Ryans announcement:
Finally - the best version of VH yet has just been released :)
Virtual Hypnotist is a free, open-source all-in-one self hypnosis and
internet hypnosis program.
Since there are zillions of changes, here's a list of the 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.
-Fully customizable hypnosis sessions
-Complete speech synthesis; choose from a selection of multiple
voices, and even use other SAPI4 or SAPI5-compliant speech engines
(only partial SAPI5 support is implemented).
-Speech recognition that lets you verbally respond to questions and
prompts while under hypnosis
-Easy and powerful scripting language called ISL used for creating and
processing scripts
-Animated characters used as virtual "hypnotists"
-Pop-up sessions, where the program can hide in the background and
"pop up" at a certain time, and start the hypnotic induction
-Support for video files and flash animations, via Windows Media and
Macromedia Flash, and even lots of videos/animations included
-Speed controls, to slow down and speed up both audio and video
-HypnoChat and Remote Controller, an AIM-compatible instant messaging
system that allows one user of Virtual Hypnotist control another
user's program over the Internet, with the subject's consent.
-Complete tray icon and popup menu support
-Text-only sessions that display text on the screen instead of using
the speech system.
-Background and Subliminal modes
-Support for playing hypnosis audio files, while using Virtual
Hypnotist for graphics
-3D graphics support with the TrueVision3D graphics engine
-Video and audio volume and rate changing support
-Session previewing support
-WAV file output support (SAPI5 only)
-Script Processor Console which allows a user to operate the script
system in an interactive manner
-Script Converter for converting standard text scripts to the ISL
script format
-Personalized information for use in sessions (name, gender, and
preferred trigger)
-Comes with the Virtual Hypnotist User's Guide
-All source code is included (written in Visual Basic 6)
-And more :)
You can get it here:

And thanks to all the people who helped in the massive testing of this
version, and especially to those who donated! :)
