testing simon

A few minutes ago in my Ubuntu terminal:

Let’s take a look into my Ubuntu terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~$ cd /home/ubuntu/Documents/201005/speech2text && git pull origin master
From git://speech2text.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/speech2text/speech2text
* branch master -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up-to-date.
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$ ./build_ubuntu.shbash: ./build_ubuntu.sh: Permission denied
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$

Why is the “Permission denied”?

This happened an hour ago in my Ubuntu terminal:

#
– Found Qt-Version 4.6.2 (using /usr/bin/qmake)
#
– Found X11: /usr/lib/libX11.so
#
CMake Error at cmake/FindQwt6.cmake:101 (MESSAGE):

#

#

#
– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
#
make: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error 1
#
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/Documents/201005/speech2text$

There seems to be a problem with Qwt 6.x.

How I (try to) create Ralf’s German speech model version 0.1.7:

1. Get a list of file names:

ls /home/ubuntu/Documents/201009/combine-0.2.1/wav-all > /home/ubuntu/Documents/201009/combine-0.2.1/dir-wav-all

2. Compare the list of file names with Ralf’s German dictionary:

cat /home/ubuntu/Documents/201008/german-0.2.1/object/german-0.2.2.xml | \
saxonb-xslt -ext:on -s:- -xsl:/home/ubuntu/Documents/201009/combine-0.2.1/compare.xsl

3. Delete old simon configuration files:

rm -r /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/apps/simon
rm -r /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/apps/simond
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/sscrc
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/speechmodelmanagementrc
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/simonsoundrc
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/simonscenariosrc
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/simonrecognitionrc
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/simonrc
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/simoncommandrc
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/samrc
rm /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/ksimondrc

4. Import Ralf's German dictionary into simon. Before I do that, I go to simon > Manage scenarios > New, and create the scenario “de-20100914″. I will export this scenario, and then use it with the “serialize scenarios” function in sam.

5. simon > Add grammar: Zahlwort Adjektiv Substantiv Verb
Add command: dictation plug-in

6. I want to use sam for the creation of the speech model. More than 300000 words should be in the speech model that I want to create.

7. Manage scenarios: Export scenario “de-20100914″

8. A few steps later, the following error message (sam) appears:

Generation of the transcription failed. Please check if you have correctly specified the paths to mkphones0.led and mkphons1.led. (/usr/share/kde4/apps/simon/scripts/mkphones0.led, /usr/share/kde4/apps/simon/scripts/mkphones1.led)

And this is the corresponding build log:

I don’t know what went wrong.

9. I will release Ralf’s German speech model 0.1.7 later, not now.

Edit September 17, 2010: 10. Download Ralf's German speech model 0.1.7.

A few minutes ago, I did git pull origin master, then I imported a folder with FLAC files into simon (simon > Training > Import training data > Import prompts). The wizard didn’t finish:

Obviously, (almost) all files were imported. But the wizard doesn’t finish. So I press cancel.

I didn’t setup postprocessing commands. The folder /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/apps/simon/model/training.data contains 3522 WAV audio files (from section alpha). Why not 3523 (see screen shot) WAV audio files? What went wrong? Why can’t I finish this wizard? I want to import FLAC files directly (without having them to convert before from FLAC to WAV format).

Great:

“+ allowedFileTypes << "wav";

+ allowedFileTypes << "mp3";

+ allowedFileTypes << "ogg";

+ allowedFileTypes << "flac";"

I am planning to release ogg files (because I don’t have unlimited webspace, and because I think that ogg quality is OK for training).

Here is the result after importing a dictionary that uses the IPA symbol [χ] instead of the ASCII symbol [x]:

The SAMPA symbol is upper-case [X], and not lower-case [x]. This is OK, I think.

The next version of Ralf's German dictionary will employ the IPA symbol [χ] instead of [x].

This is what I am doing in the Ubuntu terminal:

I will see later whether the sam Edit sample button has been fixed.
