Actually I’ve started looking at this: https://syl22-00.github.io/pocketsphinx.js/ Need to test the performance on RaspPi

To implement globe module should be pretty straight forward. However RPI wouldn’t have enough power to handle smooth animations with WebGL, hence the choice to use Mac Mini for this project.

I am sorry to hear about your issues. Trying to think of the best way to troubleshoot that. The module doesn’t do anything fancy. It just executes these in the node_helper to switch on/of the output on HDMI:

Switch off:

/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o

Switch-on:

/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7

As a first step, could you please try to execute these commands in the ssh terminal?

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.

Atom based mini PC should be enough. Something like this:

@cowboysdude on the RPI.

@bibi this code utilizes WebGL which brings RPI to its knees. You can run the MM on a different more powerful hardware, though. As for the module, I have got a POC working on my dev box with a sample data.

@strawberry-3.141 what’s left there, what’s working and what’s not?

You will need to communicate via the API’s that these services provide. For example flickr has this:

Huge thank you to @strawberry-3-141 for helping to troubleshoot this issue and suggesting the solution! While I know all kinds of dev languages and tools, I am pretty new RPI and Linux.
