VoiceControl module

[carteblanche]

@alexyak great work on creating this module! This is the only voice module that works for me on MM2.

I was wondering if its possible to customize the sensitivity settings? On the snowboy website when training voice models it gives you this option when testing so wasn’t sure if that feature could also be added into the module itself. Right now with the default settings I need to speak very close to the mic for it to trigger the wake word.

Think i got mixed up with Amazon Echo, can someone tell me or is there a showcase of how advanced the voice module actually is?

Thanks.

Hi,
I’m quite new to this and trying hard to get voice control to work but upon starting and after properly installing I just get the following really long error. I hope you can help me fix this because I really like the module and snowboy as a speech recognition tool instead of some online offers.

Thanks in advance

@DevilRev
Well I “fixed” it by making the microphone (which is USB) devine nr 0 instead of 1 in ALSA, now the hotword detection works flawless BUT my speaker connected to the normal 3.5mm jack does not work anymore.
Pygame which I am using for audio output at another location of my Magic Mirror says there are no audio devices.

Is it possible for someone to make the audio used for the microphone with this module selectable? I really need that and can’t work around it.

Good morning, really cool module, thanks for this :)

I want to do the same think as you - control the mm-music-player with this module.
I followed the help from @Jopyth but when i start the Mirror now it displays “mm-music-player” as a text instead of the module, the Voice commands are shown right so i guess i messed up something in the mm-music-player.js.
I copied the pdml files in /MagicMirror/modules/voicecontrol
Do i have have to changed the node_helper.js as well?

thanks in advance for your help and greetings

€: Okay it shows me my music player now … was a little ) missing :)
but still it don’t work my microphone works i’ve tested it with another voice control module. I guess the pdml files are now the problem. i copied them with : nano mv machmusik.pdml /root int the root folder

Hey Gismo, i would really appreciate that :) Thank you.
Maybe you can also help me with the pdml files. I’m not sure if i copied them into the right folder ( example: sudo mv machmusik.pdml / root).

Hi, sorry but yesterday here was a big … (in German we say “chaos”) :-) So I haven’t any time. But today I will have free time to help you.

Anhand dem Namen deiner Pmdl File schließe ich du bist auch deutsch. Ich schreibe dich später an, und erklär dir mein vorgehen. Das ist für mich, auf deutsch doch einfacher als auf englisch. :-)

@gismo2006

ger: Kein Problem :) Ja bin auch deutsch. Okay wäre super und auch einfacher für mich :D

eng: No Problem :) Yep also german. That would be great and also easier for me

I want to say a big thank your @gismo2006 for helping me at the voice control via message. I want to share my solution and gismos help just in case someones also struggles with this.

1. It is important to record your voice with the raspberry pi and the connected microphone ( Was my first mistake i record them at my laptop with the internal microphone)
2. Copy the .pdml files in the home/pi/MagicMirror folder and just in case also in the voicecontroll module.
3. Copy the name of the pdml files and don’t write them manually in the config.js

Again a big thank you at @gismo2006 for the help and @alexyak for the module :).

Greetings GinSeng
