Try getting rid of pocketsphinx and reinstalling it…

@tbbear Its always the same, better look twice before asking. I found one old pulseaudio.h file and this was the problem. Everything works fine now and i can start to work on supporting my MMM-Openhab with MMM-voice.

Hi Strawberry,
do you know, if i can change the language of MMM-voice with Pocketsphinx / Sphinxbase to german?

I found a webseite where i can create .dic and .lm files and they work somehow (i also changed the new words in different .js files of folder MMM-voice).

I am looking forward hearing from you.

Regards

I would like to have this module working, but up till now no succes.
It is a bit confusing.
It says MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice/ installers as a directory, but after cloning it says: MMM-voice-master.
So I tried both directories; MMM-voice and MMM-voice-master.
Both did not work.
Do I have to see a voice symbol on the screen?
I tried the commands: Magic Mirror, Voice, go to sleep.
Nothing happens.
I have a USB microfone connected as microphone 1.
Installing the module seemed to be ok.
Only in the end: step 6/6; No such file or directory.
Any help would be appreciated.
Peter

I was in hospital for a few days. :-(

When you clone MMM-voice into your modules folder, the “installers” folder is inside of that. The readme in the repo gives directions for installation

@Peter if you clone the repository the directory is called MMM-voice, only when you manually download it it will be name MMM-voice-master and that isnt cloning.

it looks like youre trying to use an old version, as the current one (since august last year) had just 5 steps in the installer not 6

Peter

Mykle1: hope you are doing allright! You are a good help to me from the beginning of my project.
Strawberry: you are right; I did not clone but downloaded!
Maybe that is the problem.
A working day is waiting, but after that I will try cloning (have to do some research how to).
I hope it will work!
Thanks!

@Peter type this in your terminal

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-voice.git

then follow the instructions here

Peter

@strawberry-3.141 cloning went well!
No step 6, so this was the right version.
I can see a microphone on the screen (with the word ERROR).
I still have to find out where the error comes from.
Thanks for all your help!

Why is it so hard to get this working?

Maybe this will help you. It has helped a few people get up and running.

Assuming you installed the dependencies as per the readme. At the end of the dependencies installation is a readout for your microphone entry in the config.js. You can see this readout again. in your terminal type: cat /proc/asound/cards. You can verify your microphone this way.

And this should remove the error that you are receiving. Close all your terminals.
Open a new terminal.
type: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib and Enter

Then type: sudo ldconfig and Enter

Now try it. Good luck

Peter

@Mykle1 magic!
It works!
Thanks!

@Peter

The real magic comes from Strawberry. :-)

Glad you got it working. :-)

Hi folks, usually don’t post. Just read a lot. But I am a lil over my head here. ASE Certified Master Mechanic here, but dang this coding is tough!! This module works fantasic. However I would like to change this ( /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7 ) to this ( /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd display_power 1 ) and ( /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o’, null ) to this ( /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0 ) I just want the tv to go off, I don’t want the no signal or light off the screen to show up. Is this even possible. Thanks in advance for any help!!

cowboysdude

@Cyberdale008 sure it is…just to the node_helper and change it.

Look for these lines :

} else if (/(WAKE)/g.test(data) && /(UP)/g.test(data)) {
           exec('/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7', null);
           this.hdmi = true;
       } else if (/(GO)/g.test(data) && /(SLEEP)/g.test(data)) {
           exec('/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o', null);

and make your changes :)

I tried to change the language to german / german voice recognition with some informations from here:
https://mycroft.ai/documentation/language-support/german/
but my skills a not good enough to get it working.

3 more questions:
Is there a command for commandline to test Pocketsphinx and its components, so maybe i can find out where i went in the wrong direction.

Do i need for changing the language model only have to download certain files and bring them in the right structure or do i have to compile something afterwards?

Where could i change the path to other language models in MMM-voice, i only found links to the .lm an .dic file but not to the .../model/en-us/ structure.
