Documentation and errors insufficeint to get vocola working.

[dougransom]

1. it appears vocola2 and unimacro require user to install them with pip, but how is that realistic? Does the user have to go, manually set the path to a specific python, and run pip, just to install these? This is too much, and more complicated than we had last fall (i.e. pip install natlink unimacro and run natlinkconfig).

I managed to get them installed with pip, into C:\Users\Doug\OneDrive\doug\dication_toolbox\p3voice\unimacro and C:\users\Doug\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\unimacro

My natlink config looks like `[directories] unimacrogrammarsdirectory = C:\Users\Doug\OneDrive\doug\dication_toolbox\p3voice\unimacro vocolagrammarsdirectory = C:\Users\Doug\OneDrive\doug\dication_toolbox\p3voice\vocola vocoladirectory = C:\users\Doug\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\vocola2 unimacrodirectory = C:\users\Doug\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\unimacro

[settings] log_level = DEBUG load_on_startup = True load_on_begin_utterance = False load_on_mic_on = True load_on_user_changed = True

`

I get errors that look like this, no idea how to resolve.

[dougransom]

here is a workaround not you have to be in the correct python folder so you get the python39-32 python.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Python39-32> .\python 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Natlink\NatlinkConfigure\natlinkconfigfunctions.py'

Better follow you other plan first, to call natlinkconfigfunctions.py via a script.

I agree that configuring unimacro and vocola manually is a pain. The vocolagrammardirectory and the unimacrogrammardirectory should NOT be in a shared folder.

And Unimacro and Vocola also need their own sections [unimacro] and [vocola] with the vocolauserdirectory and the unimacrouserdirectory specified (which may be shared).

BTW. LexiconCode is working on a GUI config program, based upon these natlinkconfigfunctions.py.

So hopefully we get things working better soon by now.
