Voice/motion control

I have to second @alexyak and @tyho. Relying on chrome keys is not a good solution, especially when the goal is to interact with mirror through voice completely. Pocketsphinx is a good solution and I am getting it to work on RPi as well.

Yea i have finaly installed node-pocketsphinx. It needs a lot of dependeties. I start find out now how get a voice command out of it. Are u using node-pocketsphinx as well? Or are u using it standalone? Or maybe the pocketsphinx.js?
I like to hear if you get something working.

Ok, I find out that https://syl22-00.github.io/pocketsphinx.js/ is the best bet.

I have run pocketsphinx before and it’s really fast. So i have no doubt the js port is also good.

But with my lack of skill i don’t know how to create a module. Who can?

@michmich and @KirAsh4 you already seen this one?

I have tried standalone, but I am currently trying the node version. I’ll let you know once something gets going! Thanks.

@tyho, I have not, but then I’m not the one working on voice control. :)

@ronny3050 i guess you can better try pocketsphinx.js

OK, I’ve tested the pocketsphinx.js. It’s very unreliable with the minimal setting - too many false positives. The native pocketsphinx installation and configuration is too convoluted with a lot of dependencies.

Actually I was able to achieve the best and consistent results with https://snowboy.kitt.ai. There’s a way to create multiple keyword models on their web site and include it with the app. I’ve got this working pretty well in the MM. I should be able to publish the voice control module based on snowboy pretty soon.

@alexyak Looking forward to seeing that!

Hey guys, I’ve published the module: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/425/voicecontrol-module

Let me know if you have any issues.

Enjoy!

I’m in work at the moment, so can’t look in detail…

Are the only commands play/stop music?
