change language #4

Closed natxopedreira closed 7 years ago

natxopedreira commented 7 years ago

first thanks for your work, not only coding but also for your videos explaining how the system works, its super!

As my spoken english its not good i was not able to make the system respond to my voice so i want to change the language. Its possible to use in another language?

For example to tell me the current time, i changed the keywords to detect the phrase in spanish and in the response i changed the voice (im on OSX) to a spanish one. So in the console i typped the spanish sentence to get the time and the system responds the time in spanish.. cool

But i was not able to make the system recognize my sentences spoken, what im missing?

also dont know if this its the correct place to ask questions, if not please let me know. I have access to an aldebaran pepper robot and my goal its to use your system as background and use the robot as an interface to tell me the responses.

Thanks again, this its great and fun!!

found it, need to do a new hotword detection in snowboy using spanish and the word.

patrickjquinn commented 7 years ago

Sorry for the delayed response! If you have any further questions on getting snowboy working with Spanish let me know :)

I know you found it, but for people wishing to do so in future; the language is changed by setting lang=en-us to lang=es-es on line 84 (i.e the wit.ai api call) of client.js

thanks! sadly the speech recognition in Spanish seems very poor

patrickjquinn commented 7 years ago

The speech recognition API in use is struggling at the moment, try back again during working hours to allow them time to fix it :)

patrickjquinn commented 7 years ago

Also try speaking slower (Spanish is spoken insanely quickly in comparison to English...so is French actually) so that the API can keep up :D

Also tried the server only with the chrome client, the speech recognition works better but the response time its super slow right now. So i will do what you said and try on working hours, thanks again
