Hi, I am really struggling for making the PocketSpinx demo getting worked out for the last 2 weeks. I was really fed up with the product, and the level of documentation we have.

I am a research scholar and I was recommending my organization to buy bulk orders of Matrix voice for their Smart Campus project and was trying to do a PoC with this Pocketspinx..

But if this is not working, i need to look for another Mic Array product to serve my purpose, please help, thanks

Regards JK

Hello @jkriba ,

We apologize for the late response. Now, we released a bunch of features of the Microphone support. Now you could use the microphone array as a Linux device (Kernel Module).

We already update this repository and the steps in the README.

Let me know if you have any other question.

Best Regards,

Kevin Patino

Hey @kdpatino,

Is there anything I should change on the setup based on the new release of features? I'm still experiencing the same issue mentioned above.

Are there any steps or documentation I can check for common issues encountered for this?

Thanks, Philip
