taixzo: if you still don't have the permission, I may upload saera from my garage account. And you'll upload stuff from your account as soon as you get permission.

Re: [DEVEL] Saera: Siri clone for Maemo 5
 

Thank you! I'll see what I can do to get this integrated.

I did not; nobody's replied to me about that yet.

That would be great!

@All regarding German translations:
I'm not fluent in German so I can't say which is the best, so I'll just take the most recent. I realize that times and numbers will need a bit of work to sound right.

Anyone interested in having Saera *understand* a different language: The first step would be translating corpus.txt to your language, from which I should be able to build a voice model.

Re: [DEVEL] Saera: Siri clone for Maemo 5
 

anyone interested in translation of URDU ,pakistani language ? I guess that would be great if saera could do that only if some one manages to make an urdu translation ;p
taixzo we are waiting for a great great saera running flawlessly on our N900s . thanks buddy
please do consider my previous proposals too .

Re: [DEVEL] Saera: Siri clone for Maemo 5
 

Give me a bit more time, I will come up with some clean Python code for you to use.

Re: [DEVEL] Saera: Siri clone for Maemo 5
 

So send me the tar.gz source package and I'll upload it.

Has anyone successfully tried to train the data-set in order to achieve a better recognition accuracy ?

Re: [DEVEL] Saera: Siri clone for Maemo 5
 

Any plans to add a commando to open terminal and become root?

Possible to trigger any other application?

Re: [DEVEL] Saera: Siri clone for Maemo 5
 

I don't quite know how to do this yet with Pocketsphinx, but I plan to add this so that Saera learns to better recognize your voice as you talk.

I plan to allow for modules to be added. I might add that natively, but I don't want Saera to have a dependency on rootsh/sudser/whatever.

Hi taixzo,

that german translation is absolutely correct except two minor spelling errors. It should be "Wusstest Du, dass das N900 Mac OSX verwenden kann?" instead of "Wußtest Du, das das N900 Mac OSX verwenden kann?" but this does not influence espeak's pronunciation.

Let me tell, I also started developing a simple voice-control app for my N900 a few days before you started this thread. I don't even try to go towards AI. Currently I am pretty unhappy regarding the recognition accuracy and I am working on that part. One of the problems is, that pocketsphinx will always give you the best match it found, even when you said something (like "blahblahblah") that is not in your corpus/dictionary. pocketsphinx internally calculates a score but when using it with gstreamer there is no way (I know about) to get this value. I am a bit happy that I was able to patch the gst-plugin (gstpocketshinx) and to cross compile it for the N900. Since something like "blahblahblah" gives a significant lower score than a word which is in the corpus/dictionary this kind of "final results" can be sorted out.
This is a nice first step, but still I am trying to improve the accuracy. If anyone has managed to improve the recognition accuracy I would be really glad to get some help.

One thing that I hope for is runtime model/dictionary switching, to allow full dictation when sending e.g. a text. Hopefully I can use some gstreamer trickery (like using a filesink at the end of the pipeline), and re-try to understand what was said (with a larger dictionary/model) if the score is low...I hope there is some way to extract the score, if not I may have to dive into the plugin code and try to find a way to extract it.
