sudo apt-get remove julius

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

I just removed julius using the terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get remove julius

Then I double-klicked on ‘simon-0.2-beta-1-Linux.deb‘, and tried to install the package. But the installation failed, again. The file usr/include/sent/machines.h couldn’t be overwritten because it is also a package in bjulius.dev. So I opened the Synaptic Package Manager. I am now removing ‘julius-voxforge‘ and ‘libjulius-dev‘ with Synaptic Package Manager. And now, I am trying to install the package ‘simon-0.2-beta-1-Linux.deb‘ again.

simon-0.2-beta-1-Linux.deb
simon-0.2-beta-1-Linux.deb: Installation was successful

And let’s take a look into the Ubuntu menu Applications - Universal Access:

Applications - Universal Access
ksimond, simon, and simond in the menu Applications > Universal Access

What is the difference between ksimond, simon, and simond?

apt-get remove julius

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

A few days ago, I tried to install simon-0.2-beta-1-Linux.deb. Obviously, it is necessary to deinstall the Julius package with the command ‘apt-get remove julius‘ before the installation of the package simon-0.2-beta-1-Linux.deb. I will try that later.

The package simon-0.2-beta-1-Linux.deb was created with the packaging system CPack. This package system is obviously not able to resolve package conflicts between Simon and Julius.

Unfortunately, Simon 0.2 doesn’t seem to work out of the box. I would just like to dictate a few words with Simon. But until now, I wasn’t successful.

By the way, my primary focus is not command and control. It is just dictation. But I have to define a grammar. How can I do that? How is it possible to define a grammar? I have read a few lines in the HTK book about a sample grammar. But I don’t know how to integrate such a sample grammar into Simon. A simple grammar can be found in the HTK book chapter 3.1.1 (page 24). Would such a grammar be suitable for Simon?

And I would like to be able to switch between the German and the English language. With Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.5 Preferred (which I am using) it is possible to switch between English and German. It would be great if such an option would be available in Simon.

You can see, there are several problems to solve.

Julius Daemon under Intrepid Ibex

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

I just started juliusd. Those were the corresponding lines in the terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/simon/speech2text/trunk/src$ cd /home/ubuntu/simon/speech2text/juliusd/
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~/simon/speech2text/juliusd$ ./juliusd

Afterwards, the juliusd window with the name “Julius Daemon” opened.

Installing Julius with the terminal under Ubuntu

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

I just installed Julius. This was shown in (or typed into) the terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~$ julius
The program 'julius' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install julius
bash: julius: command not found
ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install julius
[sudo] password for ubuntu:

I hope that it will work. I didn’t know that it is possible to install Julius under Ubuntu using apt-get install.

I just took a look into the Synaptic Package Manager. And I found out that they offer three Julius-related packages.

The green marked package is the one that I just installed. It is getting more and more comfortable.

Downloading Julius 4.02

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

I am now downloading Julius 4.02 because I am following theses instructions.

I just learned that there is a “HTK-to-Julius grammar converter”. Maybe I will take a look at the source code.

I just extracted the archive julius-4.0.2.tar.gz using the Archive Manager (under Ubuntu). Now I have to change into the directory.
root@ubuntu-desktop:/home/ubuntu# cd julius-4.0.2
After pressing the enter key, I am now in the correct directory.
root@ubuntu-desktop:/home/ubuntu/julius-4.0.2#
And now, I will type into the terminal ./configure && make. This is the corresponding line in the terminal:
root@ubuntu-desktop:/home/ubuntu/julius-4.0.2# ./configure && make

Obviously, some problems occured:
configure: error: flex library not found! installation terminated
configure: error: ./configure failed for gramtools

I don’t know whether these problems are substantial. And I don’t know how to fix them.
