Re: [Perlbox-devel] perlbox-voice problems

[Shane M. <sc...@wr...>]

Hey,

Glad it is working (mostly) for you. Festival is using /dev/dsp for
output. I 
am assuming that you DO get voice response when the listener is NOT turned 
on.  I think I may know what is going on if this is the case.

Can you run two sound programs at the same time? Say xmms and noatun
playing 
two different songs? If not, then your sound card does not multiplex,
which 
means that only one program can stream to it at a time. So Festival get 
blocked from the sound card, because festival doesn't dominate the
soundcard, 
but sphinx does because it monitors constantly. This is my understanding 
anyway. 

Now, you might have some duplexing, like two programs can output at the
same 
time, but the input is blocked. Start by recording (like krecord) and then 
open a music file (xmms).  I am not an expert on sound cards, but it could
be 
a kernel module setting on your driver, or maybe the sound card does not 
support multiplexing. You can find this out through google.  

I am interested to hear what you learn. I do not know as much about all of 
this as I wish, but maybe I was of some help.

Good luck,
Shane

[Perlbox-devel] perlbox-voice problems

[<TBB...@ne...>]

 Your program is working (to my great delight), although I am having some minor problems. When I have the listener listening I do not get the voice response back from program. I watched the konsole while speaking to the listener (verbose set to 10) and I get alot of "cannot open /dev/dsp" errors. Is this why I do not have the voice response? Is it because Sphinx2 or Festival is using the /dev/dsp? It does how ever open all programs listed in the vocab pain, even the ones I have added.

I am using the  Creative SoundBlaster AWE32 as my sound card.

Thank you for your help in advance...

[Perlbox-devel] Hello and Question.

[Jon A. <jam...@ja...>]

Hi all.

I just discovered perlbox and sphinx2 and wanted to try them out.  I am having a problem with the initial install however.  I receive the following errors everytime a new dialog pops up.


Tk::Error: can't make ".psimplesdialog" its own master at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/mach/Tk/Submethods.pm line 37. at libPB/pDialog/pSimpleDialog.pm line 29

I'm running freebsd-stable, and trying to run the graphical installer in a gnome desktop.  Any suggestions?

[Perlbox-devel] Awaiting your reply

[Vincent K. <vi...@in...>]

Dear friend,


I am soliciting your confidence in this business; this is because of its
nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though, I know that a
business of this sort will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am
assuring you that this transaction is safe.


I am Mr. Vincent Kawa, a Credit Officer with Oceanic Bank of Nigeria. For
the cause of this transaction, I am working in collaboration with
Barrister, Ikimi Williams an attorney to a national of your country, Mr.
Ailing Lazarus who was a ship Merchant and maintained a bogus account with
my bank here. My cordial relationship with him afforded me to be the
account supervisor.

I came to know you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person
to handle this confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of his
abandoned huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum
confidence. I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction.

Ever since Mr. Ailing Lazarus traveled, he has not made any contact with
me, the attorney or any body that we know since April 2001. Valuable
efforts have been made by the attorney to get in touch with him or
relatives but to no success. The assumption that Mr. Ailing must have been
dead is confirmed by the attorney on his inability to follow up all
pressing transactions then, which all of them have been terminated. I have
contacted you or any person you know that is capable to work with me as a
next of kin irrespective of same surname or not.


This is in the light of a government financial regulation order, to freeze
any account containing huge sums of money that has been dormant for a less
than the period of time we are talking about. The bank has made arrangement
for the fund to be declared unclaimed and subsequently be donated to the
government trust fund. To forestall a total loss, the attorney has agreed
with me to put the modalities I am proposing to you now in place, to manage
the fund and bring it to safe point until we are able to trace or decide
further what to do. I now seek your permission to have you stand as the
next of kin so that the fund $8.2M (Eight Million point two US Dollars)
will be released and paid into your account as the beneficiary's next of
kin. 

All documents and proves to enable get this fund will be carefully worked
out. I found it more convenient to commence on the transaction since I have
all information to influence all procedures to this effect both from the
bank and from the attorney's assistance. 


We are assuring you that your Involvement in this business is 100% risk
free. Moreover this arrangement will be possible under the mandatory power
of probate claims to be issued by the attorney, who is standing by us in
this transaction to see what we can keep out of the lot that would have
been confiscated and wasted by the government . You shall retain a
percentage that would be agreed between us while the rest will be in our
care for investment purposes.


As soon as I receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in
acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I would furnish you with the
necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without
any conflict including every other detail you may wish to know. If this
proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust we
have bestowed in you. On receiving your reply, I shall give you a call to
finalize all arrangements for a hitch free transaction.


Regards,

Mr Vincent Kawa

[Perlbox-devel] Perlbox Voice for Gnome pre is ready

[Shane M. <sc...@wr...>]

Hi Everyone,

Perlbox Voice for Gnome is ready for pre release. The package has been
created and uploaded. As per our discussion, this release utilizes the
perl archiver, so any system with base perl and a gnome installation
should be able to run it without downloading a bunch of modules. I
suppose we will find out if this is true or not. The source code will be
available from the cvs repository in a day or so.

To find out more, visit http://perlbox.org/gnome. There will be a link
to the download. Please, run it, see how it works. When you have a feel
for it, post a message to this discussion about any problems or
successes you had (remember to include information about your machine
(OS, architecture etc). 

Well, good luck everyone, and thank you for your time and effort.

[Perlbox-devel] Tentative release date

[Shane M. <sc...@wr...>]

Well, I have been thinking about a tentative release date for
perlbox-voice-gtk.0.01 and I keep thinking December 27. The reasoning
behind this is that people will be home from work still, but not so busy
from Christmas that they can't take a little time to check out a cool
new piece of software! 

Here is what we have right now:

Command execution is completed (meaning, you say it and it does it)

Vocabulary Editing: New vocabularies can be generated on the fly (the
whole process takes less than a second for a 20 command/response
vocabulary. It seems pretty robust too.

Speech Synthesis: Using Festival, perlbox-voice talks back to you! It is
sooo easy! When the program starts, this robot voice says:
"perlbox-voice for GTK is starting up" and when you click "Start
Listener" the voice says "The listener is awake" after sphinx starts. If
you kill the listener, or if it just dies, it says "The listener has
left the building" When you speak a command and it is understood the
voice says "Command executed is XXXX" where XXXX is the command. If it
did not understand, it says "What? I heard you say XXXX" where XXXX is
what it though it heard. So, there is a lot of potential here for cool
features in the future.  

We are missing documentation and the configuration options tab.
Packaging is a major issue also. (It should be noted that the general
configuration is well under control though using Config::Simple and many
of the modules are dependent on that structure, We just need to hook the
interface configuration tab up to the conf file. It is really a simple
thing)

If anyone out there is not up to speed, and wants more information on
what is going on, just reply to this or email me personally at
me...@pe.... If we are going to meet the Dec 27 date, we will need a
little help, so if anyone has any free time...

[Perlbox-devel] New Website, again!

[Shane M. <sc...@wr...>]

In anticipation of the first release of perlbox-voice for GTK looming
over our head, I have completely redone the website again! Check it out
at http://perlbox.sourceforge.net. In the next couple of days the name
servers will point perlbox.org traffic there, so I hope to have feedback
before then. Please review the spelling!

[Perlbox-devel] Re: Can you help me?

[Shane M. <sc...@wr...>]

Hi,

That is a strange message, one I have not seen. It seems like something
more indicative of sphinx's dealing with the audio channels than anything
else. Maybe the listener, sphinx, install has become corrupted. Hmmm. This
may seem like a hack way to do it, but I have posted a new version of
perlbox on the sourceforge site,
http://perlbox.sourceforge.net

Maybe you could download and install that into a new directory, which will
install the listener also. Test this new version. If it works, then you
can tranfer your configuration from the old install to the new install
just by moving the configuration directory from the old install to the new
install, if you want.

I am interested to see if this might solve the problem. At any rate, I am
glad to know that you have been using perlbox, and thank you for informing
me of this problem. I will look through the sphinx documentation to see if
I can find a better solution.


Thanks

Shane Mason

[Perlbox-devel] New interface proposal

[Shane M. <sc...@wr...>]

Hi everyone,

I have posted a pdf outlining the proposed interface. It can be found at
this link:
 
http://perlbox.sourceforge.net/docs/pbox_ui_design_v1.pdf

Since we are currently considering the subscribers of this list to be
the governing body of perlbox, I will consider this official notice of
this proposed interface change. If there are objections, questions or
concerns, they should be addressed quickly. If there are none,
development using this interface will continue in the next day or so. In
the meantime, we will focus on internal classes.

Thanks

[Perlbox-devel] Perlbox::Voice New interface

[Shane M. <sc...@wr...>]

I propose that the current interface for perlbox-voice-gtk is completely
rewritten, using glade, to incorporate a greater level of human
interaction. In that: the person can help to train the system. In order to
accomplish this, perlbox-voice must have a keener level of sophistication
than simply an interpreter. To give you some idea of where I am going with
this: we include a learner that can help to correct mistakes in the
listeners ability to translate longer commands. This product needs to
engage the user at some level higher than is currently allowed for. More
on this later. Just thoughts for now, I will post a new diagram this
weekend and get the cvs set up.

[Perlbox-devel] A working list!

[Shane M. <sc...@wr...>]

Well, we have a working list! What else? We now have a Task List at the
sourceforge site! This is an incomplete list, but it is started and
growing. This list will be fairly active, I hope, as development is
moving ahead at a rather rapid rate. Don't be afraid to use this list to
let everyone know what is going on, voice any concerns etc. Also, the
perlbox forum at sourceforge needs to see more use.
