MMM-voice

[strawberry 3.141]

@daenick remove the node_modules folder in MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice first and go into /root/pocketsphinx and execute sudo make uninstall same in /root/sphinxbase then rerun the installer

[daenick]

@strawberry-3.141 I ran the bash without the sudo. Finish ok

@strawberry-3.141 Hello Again,

Finnaly I got the MMM-voice installed, but how can I set the micro as default? Sometimes the micro can “hear me” but mostly of time no

There´s some kind of special configuration with the micro?

Thanks!

@strawberry-3-141
I get this error (or is it?) when starting MagicMirror.

MMM-voice: Starting pocketsphinx.
(node:1844) DeprecationWarning: Calling an asynchronous function without callback is deprecated.

The microphone icon appears and after it it states “ERROR”, within MagicMirror.

Thanks!

@daenick can you give more details about the issue? the only thing that is configurable is the mic the module should use like microphone: 0 or microphone: 1 …

@Advokaten what is inside the error.log, if you only can see numbers in there please enable debug: true in the config and share the debug.log

@strawberry-3.141

error.log says 11111111

debug.log in /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice ? There’s a ton of INFO: lines and at the bottom it says
Error opening audio device plughw:1 for capture: Connection refused
FATAL: "continuous.c", line 245: Failed to open audio device

It works fine with Alexa.

EDIT: When I added debug: true to the config file. When MagicMirror is up, it says “ERROR undefined” rather than just “ERROR”, like it did before.

@Advokaten did you choose the correct audio device id?

[Advokaten]

@strawberry-3.141 when installing it said my mic was 1 so that’s what I have in my config. I tried doing microphone: 0 but that didn’t work either.

@Advokaten can you check out this? http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/faq#qfailed_to_open_audio_device_dev_dspno_such_file_or_directory and troubleshoot section here http://robot.laylamah.com/?p=35

@strawberry-3.141 The voice recognition works extremely slow. There’s a way to use Spanish as default language for voice commands?

Maybe using Google voice API?

Thanks

[strawberry 3.141]

@daenick please read this https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-voice#information if you want to use faster detection you have to use a different module as this one will never support online services like google, apple, amazon, etc.

there are some custom language models for other languages https://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/files/Acoustic and Language Models/

[Advokaten]

@strawberry-3.141 I’m lost. Still can’t figure out what’s wrong. :(

[strawberry 3.141]

@Advokaten did you try what the second link suggested?

[Advokaten]

@strawberry-3.141 Yes, sir! The ERROR text is gone. Now it’s displaying “Initialising…” and the mic icon has a slash through it and is blinking infinitely. I bet I’m doing a rookie mistake somewhere.

[strawberry 3.141]

@Advokaten never had this happened before neither did someone report this issue. I would need to see it myself in order to debug it.

[Advokaten]

@strawberry-3.141 I tried reinstalling it with bash dependencies.sh and it’s back to “ERROR”. Derp.

Looking at error.log in the MMM-voice folder I can find:

Error opening audio device plughw:1,0 for capture: Connection refused
FATAL: "continuous.c", line 245: Failed to open audio device

Somebody gave a suggestion on running:

pocketsphinx_continuous -inmic yes -adcdev plughw:1,0

That too gave me:

Error opening audio device plughw:1,0 for capture: Connection refused
FATAL: "continuous.c", line 245: Failed to open audio device

I haven’t attached anything to my RPi except for an USB microphone.

[strawberry 3.141]

@Advokaten did. you disable pulseaudio like in the Link?

[Advokaten]

@strawberry-3.141 Yes.

checking pulse/pulseaudio.h usability... no
checking pulse/pulseaudio.h presence... no
checking for pulse/pulseaudio.h... no

Hi @strawberry-3-141 Now when I launch the mirror first it says “ready choose a mode” and after a few secnods “error” any idea why?

[Advokaten]

@pepemujica if you scroll to the bottom in your error.log, what does it say? I also cannot get it started.
