Okeys, i did managed to install it lol. But i have two questions.
1) Why it's installed in my home directory? Oo
2) On start it says this: runtime error: could not find activate registry (and not starting of course)
I have ubuntu 11.10 with unity.
Will give more additional info, if needed, just tell me what that should be. a little bit noobie in linux. lol

Hi Happyyasu09,
1. VEDICS is not installed in the HOME directory. It is installed in /usr/bin and /usr/lib/VEDICS. Only a few configuration files are kept in home directory in .VEDICS folder.
2. Is the accessibility feature turned on? If not please turn it on and let me know if it works or not.
By the way, which version of VEDICS did you install?

Hi!
I just installed it today and have done a bit of bug-searching.
I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome-Shell.
Actually if you use the recommended python-pyatspi instead of the installed-by-default python-pyatspi2 you get the annoying
But if you use python-pyatspi2 you'll get the annoyingCode:RuntimeError: Could not find or activate registrywhich will be corrected by addingCode:ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: ImportError('When using gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject".',))toCode:import gi from gi.repository import GObjectOk, we are quite there. At this time I got/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyVEDICS/vedics.py
which I solved by using this script (from a comment on the project page)Code:UnboundLocalError: local variable 'accessibleList' referenced before assignment
now there are two big problems:Code:import dbus try : _bus = dbus.SessionBus() _proxy = _bus.get_object("org.a11y.Bus", "/org/a11y/bus") _desktopProps = dbus.Interface(_proxy, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties') isAtspi2 = True except: import gconf isAtspi2 = False if isAtspi2 : _desktopProps.Set('org.a11y.Status', 'IsEnabled', True) else : cl = gconf.client_get_default() cl.set_bool('/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility', True)
1) I have to run this script everytime I launch vedics, otherwise I'll get the local variable error.
2) It doesn't work, because it says
but when I try to speak it doesn't say me anything.Code:vedics /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0'

Any suggestions?

Hi,
Please try adjusting your mic.
As for the other problems, it will be fixed in vedics-0.5
First Cup of Ubuntu
Ok, after a shoutdown the situation now is this:
The mic is working fine with Cheese, Skype and GoogleTalk.Code:$ vedics /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed import gobject._gobject start end WARNING: Grammar missing self identifying header WARNING: Grammar missing self identifying header # --------------- Summary statistics --------- Total Time Audio: 0,00s Proc: 0,00s Speed: 0,00 X real time 1 event event
Vedics, simply ignores what I say.
Are there more informations I can provide?

Hi dadexix86,
Its not a matter about whether the mic is working fine or not. There are many things that come into picture when speech is processed by software like background noise, accent etc. What appears as normal speech for us (when we, say, record sound and replay it or hear it on skype) may appear as distorted speech to software. So adjusting the mic so that speech recognition works fine is necessary.
A good way to adjust the mic would be to open the sound settings and check the mic input level. If the mic is detecting sounds even when you are not speaking then it means that there is lot of (white) noise around. Reduce the mic input level such that the mic input level changes only when you speak.
There is also a way to make speech recognition work in noisy environment. I haven't tested it and so I cannot guarantee you success. But if it works do let me know.
Replace the file /usr/lib/VEDICS/vedics.config.xml with the following:

Ok, I think that the problem does not depend on Vedics.
In fact, if I let the mic volume on "Not amplified" no sound at all is recorded by any application.
But, when I let it up a bit, until I can hear it, a lot of noise shows up. This noise is automatically reduced by GTalk but is not reduced, as an example, by Skype or Cheese.
I have not thought that the problem should be this. I'll investigate it, because this noise is really annoying and, moreover, it shows up both with the integrated mic and with an external one, so I think that's not hardware-related.
Many, many thanks.
