[accessibility] Open-assistant and Blather

[zenny]

Hi,

I was redirected to here by @ericonr in #voidlinux IRC to make a request for a package.

It would be nice to have an application like https://github.com/vavrek/Open-Assistant or https://github.com/Ratfink/kaylee or https://gitlab.com/jezra/blather as a void package for someone (like me) who has both RSI as well as vision issues. Just my two cents.

Cheers, and stay safe,
/z

https://git.clarahobbs.com/clara/kaylee also an options? Weird to package, though.

Have you checked out mimic, btw?

I did by cloning from both github and gitlab, and encountered following.

With github repo:

$ ./kaylee.py

(gst-plugin-scanner:13138): GStreamer-WARNING **: 22:11:57.929: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstflite.so': /usr/lib/libflite.so.1: undefined symbol: snd_pcm_hw_params_any

    self.pipeline = Gst.parse_launch(cmd)
gi.repository.GLib.Error: gst_parse_error: no element "pocketsphinx" (1)

With gitlab repo @ericonr forwarded:

$ ./kaylee.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

Also posted an issue in Ratfink/kaylee#14 (comment)

Thanks.

Have you checked out mimic, btw?

Isn't mimic TTS rather than STT? I do use mimic, but the quality of speech is robotic.

The lack of a gstreamer plugin is because the latest version of pocketsphinx uses old definitions of gstreamer functions. I couldn't compile it for Void at all, unfortunately, and someone would need to have a good understanding of gstreamer in order to patch those function calls.

Appreciate your effort. if there is someone who could lend a help is welcome! :D

Is this still the case?
