This is all nice and dandy but configuring and installing all of these dependencies and then making this run is really fragile process. On a top of that it seems like RPI hardware is not really capable of running this. So a few days ago I’ve got Amazon’t Alexa device - Dot and spend sometime connecting it to the MM on RPI and it works very well. (Voice recognition, passing commands, parameters, etc…)
So essentially we are bypassing all of this goo that these guys put together such as Speech AI, Voice Reco, TTS and connecting the result to MM.

@wjdw87 of course it wouldn’t run Raspbian because it’s built specifically for RPI. I’d stay with Windows.

Here’s how the module based on WebGL looks like on my dev box:

It displays twitter stream of the tweets that have location. Red lines signify the negative sentiment and green positive. White is neutral.

Small correction about WebGL on RPI - the chromium/hardware will not even run. You will an error message that it’s not supported.

@bhepler it is an overkill. Atom based quad SoC with 4GB RAM should be enough.

Here’s the alternative that you can use:

@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.

There’re 3 major ways you can develop apps for mobile devices:

• Native
  iOS - XCode IDE with Objective-C or Swift languages (You will need Mac for this)
  Android - Andoid Studio (Java language) - PC or Mac

• Hybrid
  Combination of a native host with Webbrowser control + HTML\JS. There’re a lot of frameworks out there. The most popular one is Cordova/Phonegap

• Xamarin
  .NET based developer tools and runtime that work for iOS and Android. It was recently acquired by Microsoft and have free versions.
