Hi
i haven’t put voice control into my mirror but have played around with it for a kitchen based recipe generator. (Say Baked Alaska and the display pulled a recipe off BBC food website and displayed it. )Basically voice recognition is fairly simple. What is difficult is getting it to start listening.
The easiest way of doing it is to use the google api Here is a good source. http://stevenhickson.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/voice-command-v30-for-raspberry-pi.htmlThe problem I had when I played with this is that. It records what you say and sends it to google for recognition. If you want a system that is always listening then you would end up sending recordings to google 24/7. . You could try using http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/ to recognize an initial key word then turn on google recognition. But I couldn’t really get a great response from that. However I have a strong Irish accent which doesn’t help :)
So you might have more luck. Also a good microphone will make your life easier. -
@Simon Hi Simon. Do you know if the google API is supported under Electron?
-
It seems that Google has removed this feature for electron, however when you use chromium together with MM² it may works… See this stackoverflow question.
-
Don’t know. I coded with it in python. To tell you the truth I have only heard of Electron about 10 minutes ago :) My magic mirror is coded in python (far more hacky and inelegant then your solution) but it entertained me for a while. :)
-
electron-speech, alexa-voice-service & pocketsphinx might be worth a look :)
-
@Simon Have you posted you code anywhere would love to see it!!!
-
@coolbotic No it’s not very pretty :) I’ll see what I can do
-
What do you think about using wit.ai to voice control MM?
Free, unlimited API that could be implemented -
@coolbotic I just made a motion control module. It’s no where near as intricate as leapmotion though. It just detects hand movements, using 2 ultrasonic sensors and give you a swipe left, right, and press notification. If you have any ideas on how to improve it, please let me know.

@MichMich This guy has done it, using your MM2

@MichMich Well what about annyang. i got it working on my rpi3. See https://github.com/TalAter/annyang-electron-demo. I tried to make a module with the use of your readme file but it didn’t work. (I am not rly (rly not) good at coding).
The demo needs some extra dependencies so it’s not simple to write a module. Can you maybe give it a try?What about the demo. i didn’t get the actual response in my browser but when i opened the console i saw he recognized my words really clear and fast. (and that for a dutch guy ^^)
I think if you get this running with basic setup (hello, show map, show picture), it could even be expanded to run shells with your voice to turn on and off your monitor. (and other crazy ideas :P)
-
You can just install extra dependencies using
npm install. The problem of using annoying is that it has an API limit afaik. So you can’t use it indefinitely. -
@MichMich is it possible to restart annyang when the onend event is called?
-
@tyho It probably is. I did not look into the Annyang API.
-
@coolbotic @MichMich I got something working. I combined annyang and angular (from snippets and reading de api). and it works unlimited so far.
The thing is i got it only working separate. I have to cd to the folder and then npm install && npm start to run.
It’s realy basic, cuz i am not a programmer. (i only added simple commands and i get the response i want in my browser). But it’s easy now to expand. I am working on a command to turn on and off my monitor by shell commands but i didn’t got it running yet.
The thing is i don’t know how to include it in the mirror. And honestly i don’t know how to post it somewhere like github -_- so others can help :p -
I also managed to turn my sceen on and off by voice.
-
@tyho It would be good to see what you’ve done, if you could post a tutorial or something
-
how does github work?
