Hello-Lucy
-
That’s on my to-do list. MMM-voice has “GO TO SLEEP” and “WAKE UP” commands that work on a Pi (I think) but not on this laptop running ubuntu. So, I have some homework to do. Any suggestions?

@cruunnerr said in Hello-Lucy:
Another suggestion could be to say “Go to standby” and it will turn off the Monitor or something like that.
Ok, this is done. I’ve modified the original command “GO TO SLEEP” so that it will turn off the display of my laptop and “WAKE UP” to turn the display on. I don’t know if this will work with a monitor that is connected thru HDMI as the original commands do so I’m not updating Hello-Lucy until I can have that tested. This weekend, likely.
Huge shout out to @Cowboysdude for directing me to the site where the code came from. Freakin Guru! :-)
For those that might be trying this with an external monitor connected thru HDMI, it should already work by default, without today’s changes.

Just tested with a desktop machine with a monitor connected through DVI and a laptop. In both cases, displays immediately were turned off (standby) and on.

Great job, beautiful and very practical.
Would it be possible to adapt it to alexyak / voicecontrol module? is the voice module that I use.
Thanks -

Probably. You’re only talking about adding send and receive notifications that trigger hide and show events. However, if i remember correctly, alexyak’s voice requires training (snowboy?) for each command. That would turn into a lot of extra work and time for you. MMM-voice requires no voice training at all and is largely the reason I chose it for the Hello-Lucy enhancement.

OK, just same with MMM-voice but with snowboy - voicecontrol.
Pocketsphinx does not have a good Spanish language model, and I would have to create my own with Julia and HTK.
I have already created the phrases with snowboy, with a 100% success.
I have a script to automate and train the words and receive the .pmdl files from snowboy server.
A good microphone and the right profile do miracles;) -
In that case, take a look at the README of Hello-Lucy. There are instructions on how to add any module. You can adapt that to the voice module you are using and enhance any other module to work with it. Let me know how you make out. Good luck.
Peace!

UPDATE:
The biggest hurdle for Pi users with Hello-Lucy is the lag placed upon the Pi by the use of the animated face.gif. This is not an issue for people using PC boards. A simple work-around for this is not using the animated face.gif. The face is cool but voice was the reason for Hello-Lucy.
I’ve updated the repo with 2 static images of Lucy for Pi users. You can also use any image file you like, or none. Also, the use of a microphone that has a 3.5mm jack significantly improves response (tested). USB introduces too much lag, evident even on an i7 Quad Core (tested). The difference is staggering.
I’ve also provided a 25MB version of the animated face.gif in the repo. You can still acquire the original via the link in the readme if you so desire. That file is 60+MB.
Peace!

Ahhhh, nicely done dude! :-)
