Re: Monologue - very simple dictation assistant
Hello, isn't it all like leibniz, newton and the differential calculus? ;-) I'd really love to have all these ideas merged into one application. @ TImo: I am really envious about your voice-detection-recording and love to combine ot with my GUI. It would not be a problem to implement all of these things adored in what has been written so far: - GPS-Coords - saved as textfile related to the recorded wav-files or as vorbis-comment in the headers of an ogg-vorbis-file (implement real-time ogg-encoding is what I'm working on at the moment, fruitless up to now but still trying! Speex-encoding would be much more adequate, but I didn't get it managed to use with python. Any help/hints/efforts?) - Switch GPS/gpsd on and off via GUI-button - Switch from only recording-when-speaking-mode(what about porting monologue to python or write a python-extension?) to manual-pause-mode - do all these settings as well via command-line-options I mean a dictaphone can do all these things as a sideline and we got all the comfort and functionality, you need for georeffered recording or for interviewing or for noting thoughts about your memoires or something. :) It's just about time and a little help, I think. I'll spend all the time I can grab on this now!

I need to add a command-line option to set the noise limit. Additionally it maybe could automatically detect this limit based on the environment but that is more tricky to get right. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Monologue - very simple dictation assistant
Hi all I would like to react :D I created voicenote because there WAS no application running on the moko to record wav file. Since I did not want to make it weight, and because it was at the beginning only for recording wav files, I did not choose python + a gui. + I would like to learn a bit of bash scripting :D This was and is still Ok if you just want to have a very fast "do your job" application = voicenote Just after the release, and today, 2 identical projects poped up. Identical ? Not sure : one wants to record only when speaking (for being able to record without the need to touch the screen, I think for OSM mapping), the second wants a nice GUI (or the other way ) The great openmoko community reacts very fast, and gave me ideas to implement : * add GPS location + time for easy OSM editing * be able to play the files / delete them, etc. * modulate the level to reach good audio quality * record only when speaking * etc... My thought : * I lve the dynamism of the community * I really think bash script is limited if we want to easily implement gps access / volume control / record when speaking /etc. * I cannot spend much time on it So I think I will now let voicenote in version 0.3 (except for bugs corrections and small improvements) and let people with time and knowledge to implement a great app with a nice gui and better function. I think Timo and Mathias should work together. I tested mathias's soft, and the ui is great. Of course I will help them with idea, trac tickets and more ! Kimaidou PS : * One question to Timo : have you tested your soft in noisy environment ? Is it able to differenciate a voice from another sound ? * I agree with what has been said : each function (voice recognition or gps data) must be options the user can desactivate. 2009/2/25 Nelson Castillo > On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 11:06 PM, Timo Juhani Lindfors > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > since I could not find any existing software to do what I need I wrote > > my own: > > > > http://iki.fi/lindi/darcs/monologue/ > > > > records audio only when you talk.

This could be avoided. Today, voicenote needs a good GUI. If we want to integrate voicenote ad monologue without rewriting anything, we have just one possibility: to use a GUI. I was thinking to an interface written simply in PyGtk which handles both the softwares, showing to user 2 options: 1) normal georeferred recording: possible with voicenote; GPS chip is ON 2) recording only on speak: we could start monologue through GUI; GPS chip is OFF 3) georeferred recording on speak: we start monologue; python talks with GPSD, catch coordinates, and insert them in recorded file's metadata. GPS chip is ON So, if we can't merge the code, we could create one GUI to use all the recording software, givin to user the possibility to choose the option according to battery state (if the battery is low, user could turn off GPS and use option 2). I think to have such PyGtk skills, but I'm busy for university until April :( - -- Francesco de Virgilio *Ubuntu-it Member and Wiki Editor* mailto:frad...@ubuntu-it.org http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/FrancescoDeVirgilio *Wikimedia Italia Member* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fradeve11 *OpenStreetMap Mapper* http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Fradeve11 *Blog* http://fradeve.netsons.org "Love - Peace - Freedom - Free Software" GPG 0x6482E056 (FP B996 A12C BD52 2A9B CDD3 812D 462D 93B0 6482 E056) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkmlZ4YACgkQRi2TsGSC4Fa5dgCgj3AXMRLwAeNTQOcaGASHbnBx Bu4An01sqfEWf3iv0ragCOgUHbo8vJfo =z7Ju -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I've an observation: I'm also very interested in OpenMoko software for mapping on OpenStreetMap: your idea is really great. Voicenote developer is working (I suppose) on a GPS-correlation support for his software, to use georeferred notes on OSM mapping sessions. Mattias Felsche is working to turn the Neo into a dictaphone, with a python script. In future, we'll probably have - - a software which records audio only on speaking - - a software which records geo-referred audio files - - a software which act as a dictaphone Now, I respect everyone's work, I respect the *great* idea of Free Software as freedom to develop, but could all these ideas be merged into one? It'll be great to have a single application for OpenStreetMap mappers which does *all* this things, possibly configurable.

Monologue - very simple dictation assistant
Hi, since I could not find any existing software to do what I need I wrote my own: http://iki.fi/lindi/darcs/monologue/ records audio only when you talk. It's very early version so don't expect much. I hope to be able to use it dictate notes and use it with at least openstreetmap. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
