How to use Speech recognition ?
Hey,
I'm currently working on how to use Speech recognition. Having googled all this day, I found many libraries such as :
Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) => Windows
CMU Sphinx (PocketSphinx) => Cross platform (written in C)
They love games' pluggin (Doesn't work well) => Cross platform
Google Web Speech API (Online) => Online devices, webplayer
Google Speech API => Android
(And other like SILVIA, but it seems (very) expensive.. ..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_speech_recognition_software)
To begin with, I'm trying to test the SAPI one, but System.Speech is not available in the Mono version. I tried to find the library dll or a similar project..
If you know other libraries or packages, or even theorical documentation to code that (last resort ^^'), I'd be very grateful :)
My goal is to compare an AudioClip (registered with Microphone class) with 3 other AudioClips to get the one that must be the correct sentence (or 'not understood') : the problem is I don't know if it's possible to do a quick check or if I must use speech recognition.
Thank you for your help,
Sylafrs.
Edit : errors (within lib names :p)
Edit 2 : I have a simple solution (I don't like) : don't use unity to do the speech recognition.
do it in another process => Not web player, depends on the device.
or use a server => For online devices.
Edit 3 : correction (english syntax error :p)
Edit 4 : pocketsphinx is cross platform
I tried PocketSphinx in C. $$anonymous$$y C program works (I just must to read the doc a little longer to create dynamic grammar (not in a jsgf file)) Then, I must create the Unity wrapper (I hope the dll will be okay). Finally test in devices (mustn't work ^^')
I've made a little PocketSphinx dll + wrapper for unity/windows but the speech recognition system doesn't seem to work well (in english with my accent or in french)..
Damn ^^
By setting the sample rate to 8000 for Pocketsphinx (cmd_ln_init function) and Unity3d ($$anonymous$$icrophone.Start method) it works well for English
I must find out why it doesn't work for french..
There is a speech kit in the Asset Store which I tried but had no luck with. I would look into using SAPI on Windows or Google on mobile/web, I think those are the best bet.
The "They love games" one ? Yeah, I've seen a video and the demo : it doesn't work well, I prefer not to use it ^^
I finally choose Pocketsphinx, but it doesn't work well for French (and SAPI works very well, but can't be added to Unity)
CMU SPHINX (PocketSphinx, OpenEars) seems to be best solution but someone have to make a plugin or module for Unity. I think about creating a group of developer for that work for Unity.
Thanks for your answer. I've made the plugin but it works on Windows only (for the moment). I think there might be some bugs too in there, but it works fine :)
The problem is that I created it when I was working at my company.. so I don't know if I can give you the code :/
Hi there, have managed to make the plugin for Unity? I want to make it work for Android but it is a bitch.
