Re: [PD] Speech Recognition OSX
hey Patrick just trying Kiku out. Works for a minute then stops responding. specifically when i open pd-extended. maybe its my setup? osx 10.6 - vmware fusion - ubuntu 11.04 - kiku 0.1 + pd-extended 0.42.5 On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 7:52 AM, patrick pured...@11h11.com wrote: Hi José, But.. how do you recognize so many languages?

Re: [PD] Speech Recognition OSX
yeah i figured it out. pd just needs to be started from the terminal. then all works well! also you need to know that kiku is single word recognition. meaning if you speak a sentence it will output a single word (with a very bad score). yeah figured that which I can make works for what im doing (i think) although full dictation or semi-dictation would be more ideal i am surprise that it's working on ubuntu 11.04 seems to work!!! idk cheers mark On Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 1:13 PM, patrick pured...@11h11.com wrote: hi mark, i am surprise that it's working on ubuntu 11.04 - kiku is not showing in the taskbar (a bug in compiz), but it's not affecting the recognition afaik. as for your problem, kiku have an option to recognize only the words if, in your example, pd-extended is opened causing kiku to restart his engine (thus portaudio). that might be your problem (i cannot reproduce this problem here, ubuntu 10.10). you change this behavior in Configuration: Dictionary: Match V2C (uncheck) also you need to know that kiku is single word recognition. meaning if you speak a sentence it will output a single word (with a very bad score). remove ~/.kiku folder to reset the installation. pat -- mark edward grimm | m.f.a | ed.m. megr...@gmail.com | 315.378.2136 _ ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Speech Recognition OSX
hi mark, yeah figured that which I can make works for what im doing (i think) although full dictation or semi-dictation would be more ideal it is possible to write a grammar for Julius / kiku, see the documentation: http://julius.sourceforge.jp/en_index.php?q=en_grammar.html (using FILLER, in your case, will be useful) then you just need to change ~/kiku/language/julius.conf remove -w dictionary add -dfa grammar.dfa (you have to create this file) -v dict (already included with the English language) this will allow dictation in kiku, but since the English acoustic model is not yet ready for dictation it might not work that well. anyone who have some time and is a native English speaker, please contribute to voxforge: http://voxforge.org/home/read à+ ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] Speech Recognition OSX
hello, thanks for response! the apple built in speech recognition is for Speakable Items, built into Mac OS X and located in the Speech pane of System Preferences, ... basic words to control computer... I think im looking for more of speech dictation for recognizing longer phrases.\ I have a project coming up and I am just weighing my options. Basically I am monitoring radio signals via a police scanner and want to pick out key words. It doesn't even have to be that accurate really. just so certain words can trigger instance in PD cheers mark On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 3:31 AM, patrick pured...@11h11.com wrote: On 11-06-24 02:48 AM, mark edward grimm wrote: Anyone have speech / voice recognition working on OSX 10.6?
