      @Linas123 I don’t know. Was just trying to help.

      Lots of times users didn’t know to say hello Lucy.

      What language do you speak? Sometimes the language model cannot detect the intonation

          Thank you for all your help and your fast replays. Now it finally works with long charging times, but it works. Whenever I stop the Magic Mirror with pm2, the card for the microphone changes, but I can live with that because soon it will hang on the wall and then I won’t stop pm2.

            do you mean response times? (time from speak to action)

            charging in english applies to batteries.

            what pi device are you using?

                and not so good in english.

                a LOT better than my german!!

                wonder what else is running. 3b+ is usually pretty good
                do you use SSH to connect to pi?

                if so, can you do top command to see what is running?

                  I use realVNC to see what is on my Mirror.

                    @Linas123 can u minimize mirror (alt-spacebar, n)

                    and then run top in a terminal window (ctrl-alt-t)

                      Maybe I just think that response time is slow, although it is fast for a cheap computer like the raspberry.

                        @Linas123 cool, thx… nothing running really…

                        i also didn’t like the realtime responsiveness of the pi (til pi4)
                        and bought odroid and jetson nano to get more speed.

                          That’s a cool idea, but I don’t like to change anything on the hardware. I keep that in mind for my next project.

                            have a pi0, 3, 4, odroid, jetson nano I use the odroid in a production photoframe/info kiosk on the wall in my hall (no mirror glass or enclosure)

                              I put a lot of effort into building the Magic Mirror (even a frameless Magic Mirror). Without self-praise I have seen many other Magic Mirrors but mine is by far the most beautiful one and finally a voice control is part of it. It is also completely designed for a Raspberry Pi, so I don’t want to change anything now.

                                        i’m new in all of this so please take it easy with me … so i installed MMM-hello lucy module but after i installed it and got the config right and i put my mic card and speaker device and all set … but after i launched magic mirror it shows up the microphone icon and says error … and it hangs like this like there is no solution … it’s like lucy is not detecting or something … and before i say anything the error just shows up …
                                        and if i installed MMM-voice and make it like MMM-hello lucy and MMM-voice together in the magic mirror, will it work ? and how will it be if i make both of them in my magic mirror?
                                        I’d be so glad if anyone could help me out with this …

                                          did u hear what you said…

                                          provides the mic works…

                                          now, what device is it (from the arecord list)
                                          is that where Lucy is configured ?

                                          Voice/Lucy use the sphinx voice reco library, which is ok, but sensitive to the voice model.
                                          i stopped using it , cause it was accurate maybe 50% of the time… and I had to repeat myself a lot…

                                            @sdetweil yes i did that and i heared myself and made the config but the error still shows …
                                            but what is sphinx voice reco library ? and how can i use it/install it ? and is it important for the module ?
                                            and why you had to repeat yourself alot ? is the problem from the module itself or ?

                                            • do i need sphinx to use MMM-voice module as well or it’s just for lucy module ?
