snowboy.service not created #224

Closed hack-r closed 6 years ago

hack-r commented 6 years ago

To be clear, is there anything in the code that should be creating the snowboy service? If so, I think I've found a bug.

If not, I was just not clear on that from the docs. Thanks!

I guess you must be here from the Hackster.io forums. Some of those posts are old and things keep evolving. The snowboy service was removed from the project quite some time back. Always go by the documentation in the git which will always be up to date.

@shivasiddharth Thank you very much. I see Hackster is as of Dec. 2017 before the snowboy change.

Could you kindly tell me if it's still possible to use custom wakewords with Assistant as before?

shivasiddharth commented 6 years ago

As of now, nope its not possible. I may add it back sometime in the near future.

@shivasiddharth Understood. I am going to go back to an idea I had about trying to use cloudspeech in one thread and assistant in another to achieve this. Failing that, cloudspeech with an action to pipe audio to assistant.

Incidentally, I was investigating another aspect of Snowboy on Github at some point and the author seems friendly and responsive. So if there was some shortcoming in it, perhaps we could work with him. Although it seems we don't really need it if we use cloudspeech.
