      @strawberry-3.141 hi strawberry, thanks for the response.

      I’ve managed to make it work, but the problem is that the operations were uuuuultra slow.

      I’ve timed the response time in 10 different occurrences.

      After saying “MAGIC MIRROR” it takes an average of 7 seconds for the microphone icon to start blinking.

      After saying “HIDE” it takes an average of 15 second (hope this isn’t normal) to hide the modules.

      Is this due to my RPI3? Any and all tips and experiences are welcome.

        @ime90 I am running MMM-voice on a RPi3b and while it is not as fast as my Mycroft-core in responding to its wake word, it is much faster than the times you have stated. I turned the debug = true so that I could see what it is doing. I would say the times you have stated are at least double what it takes MMM-voice on my Pi. I changed my wake word to Hey Jarvis. I don’t know if that made any difference in how fast it recognizes the wake word. I also added the Hello-Lucy modifications to the MMM-voice module. It is not “fast” in responding to commands, but it only takes a few seconds (5 to 6sec.) to Hide/Show modules if I remember right.

          I wrote this in a different thread not too long ago actually, but I noticed a vast increase in detection/response rate when moving from a cheap USB mic to a decent webcam microphone. I would say the response now is on the order of 1-2 secs, with effectively no errors in voice interpretation. I’m sure this is helped immensely because the clarity of the audio into the rpi is much clearer - the cheap USB mic had terribly noisy audio in.

            i am running MMM-voice on an ODroid Xu4, which is very fast.

            I also use another voice enabled smart mirror on this same device.

            with a Logitech webcam as the mic.

            MMM-voice gets the hotword correct every time, but almost none of the following words.

            the same hardware setup works correctly with arecord as the wav source, but uses google speech detection for everything after the hotword.

            it appears the system is using the default language model (lm) and dictation (dic) files.

            anyone have a suggestion on debugging this?

              @sdetweil set debug: true in the config and you will see what the mirror recognizes

              Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                i have that, but the text ‘recognized’ is not what i said.

                if I speak slowly, i can get ‘magic mirror’
                then wake up is ‘wake go’ or ‘wake all’,

                hide calendar is ‘hide who’
                open help is ‘open go’

                the smart-mirror project also uses ‘go to sleep’ and ‘wakeup’

                ‘hide newsfeed’ is ‘hide to show the’, ‘hide is the’

                none of the commands, when recognized, do anything…

                hide modules

                go to sleep (not on PI so the tvservice doesn’t exist), but no error is logged

                  @sdetweil I can tell you the same as I just told another user

                  as the author of MMM-voice I can tell you, that my module doesn’t support a command called hide clock at all. You are probably using hello-lucy, at least that’s a mod I’m aware of which enhances the commands. You can see the command list here https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-voice#usage

                  i also had problems due to my accent. you can also look into the dic file how the system expects you to pronounce it

                  Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                      @strawberry-3-141 OK i am trying to install this module and i have read all forum posts on this thread.
                      I did have AlexaPi installed and working previously and as i can tell from other users this installation ruins it but i could live with that. However MMM-voice keeps giving error 1 on its error log even after deleting node modules, pocketsphinx and sphinxbase and reinstalling again. The icon on MM goes briefly Ready Select Mode than back to Error how do i fix that like i said i have read everything all installations go perfectly all 1 through 5 out of 5. what am i doing wrong??
                      The other question is… I also want to use 2 microphones ideally and both apps… i was using AlexaPi flawlessly with one of the mics and i wanted to use a second mic for MMM-voice since it gives you the option to select which one you want to use do you think that is doable? is it meant for that??
                      What can i do to use both AlexaPi and one of the MMM voice modules so i can control the display and show and hide certain modules both on the same Rpi.
                      I tried MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall already but i am stuck half way with no one to help me through the end and it is an extremely difficult module to fully install.
                      Anyhow any help will be greatly appreciated

                        @richland007 can you please enable temporarily the more detailed debug log with debug: true?
