🥴 Pour installer le français dans Pocketsphinx vous savez comment il faut s'y prendre ?
😉 Deux jours que je sèche.
Apparemment, Pocketsphinx utilisé dans Subtitilecomposer, c'est plutôt une question trop pointue.

BASED. THIS is the attitude that software sorely needs!
a project *completing* should be a good thing, but for some reason the neophilia is so strong that people can't imagine a state other than "incomplete" or "abandoned".

I'm exploring ways to improve audio preprocessing for speech recognition for my [midi2hamlib](https://github.com/DO9RE/midi2hamlib) project. Do any of my followers have expertise with **SoX** or **speech recognition**? Specifically, I’m seeking advice on: 1️⃣ Best practices for audio preparation for speech recognition. 2️⃣ SoX command-line parameters that can optimize audio during recording or playback.

Ok..so my #ai #robotics project is just about done. I do these things as personal challenges and I've succeeded on all the major points, now just tweaking and putting them together.

I think I'll work on the speech response today and then integrate the movements and this will be a done one.

Here are some of the pieces parts for the nerds..

@bmzimmermann
provided you have ~ 4GB free disk space and significantly more than 8GB RAM, the results so far are mind blowing. In contrast to #pocketsphinx which comes with lots of limitations in terms of file formats, sampling rates, recognized languages etc.
of course, you have to speak clearly and audibly. :)

Say Friend And Have This Box Open For You

Handcrafted gifts are special, and this one's no exception. [pender] made a Tolkien-inspired box for his son and shared the details with us on Hackaday.io. This one-of-a-kind handcrafted box fulfills one role and does it perfectly - just like with the Doors of Durin, you have to say 'friend' in Elvish, and the box shall unlock for you.

This box, carefully engraved and with attention paid to its surface finish, stands on its own as a gift. However, with the voice recognition function, it's a project complicated enough to cover quite a few fields at once - woodworking, electronics, and software. The electronics are laid out in CNC-machined channels, and LED strips illuminate the "Say Friend And Come In" inscriptions once the box is ready to listen. If you're wondering how the unlocking process works, the video embedded below shows it all.

Two solenoids keep the lid locked, and in its center is a Pi Zero, the brains of the operation. With small batteries and a power-hungry board, power management is a bit intricate. Two capacitive sensors and a small power management device are always powered up. When both of the sensors are touched, a power switch module from Pololu wakes the Pi up. It, in turn, takes its sweet time, as fully-fledged Linux boards do, and lights up the LED strip once it's listening.

[Pender] didn't want to go for any cloud-based voice recognition service - such a gift requiring a pre-established WiFi connection would be no fun at all. Instead, he set up and used PocketSphinx for offline voice recognition. The box is a surprise for his son, thus, [pender] couldn't quite ask for voice samples. Thankfully, PocketSphinx recognizes phrases without pre-training. There's also a contingency mechanism - the electronics aren't accessible until you open the box. The secret is to apply voltage to two pads, which will unlock the solenoids directly, just in case the battery dies or the Pi glitches out.

We don't quite know what awaits when the box is opened, but we can only hope that the son's name isn't Balin. We thank [pender] for documenting the details, as a reminder that our hacker skills let us build unique and beautiful things for the people we value. Hacker-built gifts are great - we've seen guestbooks for weddings, couple's proximity sensing LED badges, ESP32-based CTFs, and even meteorite turntable display stands.

Making Linux Offline Voice Recognition Easier

For just about any task you care to name, a Linux-based desktop computer can get the job done using applications that rival or exceed those found on other platforms. However, that doesn't mean it's always easy to get it working, and speech recognition is just one of those difficult setups.

A project called Voice2JSON is trying to simplify the use of voice workflows. While it doesn't provide the actual voice recognition, it does make it easier to get things going and then use speech in a natural way.

The software can integrate with several backends to do offline speech recognition including CMU’s pocketsphinx, Dan Povey’s Kaldi, Mozilla’s DeepSpeech 0.9, and Kyoto University’s Julius. However, the code is more than just a thin wrapper around these tools. The fast training process produces both a speech recognizer and an intent recognizer. So not only do you know there is a garage door, but you gain an understanding of the opening and closing of the garage door.

In addition, the tools are all made to work in Unix-style pipelines which is refreshing. Here's an example configuration from the project's website:

[GarageDoor]
open the garage door
close the garage door

[LightState]
turn on the living room lamp
turn off the living room lamp

There are templating features so you can specify optional words and alternative words in a single rule. There are other features like mapping an object like living room lamp into something more computer-friendly.

Overall, this looks like a fun tool to have in your kit. If you do something interesting with it, be sure to drop us a tip so we can cover it. Meanwhile, we've been watching Linux speech for quite a while. Of course, what we really want is speech commands like the USS Enterprise, and we have to admit it is getting closer.

Soon, the 'Gossip Booth' of radioslumber.net. A speech recognition online tool that filters 'secrets' by returning in-between-the-words expressions.
Laughter, pauses, uncertain expressions, breaths, sounds of discomfort and pleasure.

Gossip in any language can be a fast, low-in-volume way of speaking, sounding like murmuring often including slang. This way of speaking happening between immigrants may sound blurry to the ears. Without the understanding of the words the speaking becomes a melody, a sound missing the logical meaning. This may be annoying for the outsiders but at the same time it is a familiar, joyful, shared and supportive space for the ones that had to leave their home. Even more for the ones that often don't have the public platforms to share their concerns and solve their problems, and they are not supported by the systems (legal, economic, cultural, political) they live in. The 'Gossip Gaps' embraces these discomforts in the ear of some listeners and the fast murmurings of despair and pleasure.

@tuxicoman je n'ai pas encore d'expérience dans le domaine et, lisant la doc de #openjarvis, je pensais que #PocketSphinx fonctionnait (au moins pour les hot-words).
Ceci dit, mon idée d'application consiste à réemployer un #nabaztag (projet visionnaire) et utiliser un tag #rfid ou le bouton physique pour déclencher l'écoute, me permettant ainsi de rester pleinement maître de ce qui est diffusé.
