@tbbear Its always the same, better look twice before asking. I found one old pulseaudio.h file and this was the problem. Everything works fine now and i can start to work on supporting my MMM-Openhab with MMM-voice.

Hi Strawberry,
do you know, if i can change the language of MMM-voice with Pocketsphinx / Sphinxbase to german?

I found a webseite where i can create .dic and .lm files and they work somehow (i also changed the new words in different .js files of folder MMM-voice).

I am looking forward hearing from you.

Regards

I would like to have this module working, but up till now no succes.
It is a bit confusing.
It says MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice/ installers as a directory, but after cloning it says: MMM-voice-master.
So I tried both directories; MMM-voice and MMM-voice-master.
Both did not work.
Do I have to see a voice symbol on the screen?
I tried the commands: Magic Mirror, Voice, go to sleep.
Nothing happens.
I have a USB microfone connected as microphone 1.
Installing the module seemed to be ok.
Only in the end: step 6/6; No such file or directory.
Any help would be appreciated.

I was in hospital for a few days. :-(

When you clone MMM-voice into your modules folder, the “installers” folder is inside of that. The readme in the repo gives directions for installation

[strawberry 3.141]

@Peter if you clone the repository the directory is called MMM-voice, only when you manually download it it will be name MMM-voice-master and that isnt cloning.

it looks like youre trying to use an old version, as the current one (since august last year) had just 5 steps in the installer not 6

Mykle1: hope you are doing allright! You are a good help to me from the beginning of my project.
Strawberry: you are right; I did not clone but downloaded!
Maybe that is the problem.
A working day is waiting, but after that I will try cloning (have to do some research how to).
I hope it will work!
Thanks!
