Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working
-
@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 ?
-
@cq0q the library is installed and used by mmm-voice and Lucy. u don’t have to do anything. that is the voice reco library they both use.
why repeat, cause it doesn’t so very well in my opinion
-
@sdetweil so what should i do to fix that problem ?
-
@cq0q I do not know. is the mic number in arecord -l the same in config.js for Lucy?
-
@sdetweil yes it is
-
well … it just fixed by itself … but as you said… i need to repeat myself and that’s bad actually …
what do you think of MMM-voice module ? is it better than this one ? or MMM-voice commands -
@cq0q mmm-voice has the same mic/library/reco problem

@cq0q said in Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working:
it just fixed by itself
Magic!
@sdetweil is correct. Hello-Lucy is a stripped down version of MMM-voice (removed most of its functionality) and added the ability to hide and show individual modules and pages of modules. Simplified the process of adding any module to this functionality. Modules can share regions. Etc,
The recognition is average at best. Lucy (and voice) have trouble with certain accents, Norwegian in particular, (My friend can attest to that). Even I had some early trouble with non-recognition and/or false positives. I’ve learned ‘how’ to speak to Lucy after quite some time using her (3 years?). She also likes a completely quiet environment. With that said, she will never be as accurate, or work as well, as an Alexa or Google device.
Lastly, I don’t use Lucy on a Pi. The pi’s inherent delay is too aggravating and frustrating. Now, using Lucy on more robust hardware is quite a different experience. Very satisfying, for me at least.
