Hello Julien

I am trying to do configure Jasper in French too.
There is documentation on Ubuntu FR documentation to configure pocketsphinx in French :

http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/pocketsphinx

I followed the instructions to get all needed stuff, and configured my Jasper profile to use French acoustic model (and kept default FST model, I don't know whether we need a specific one for French)

pocketsphinx:
  fst_model: '/home/pi/phonetisaurus/g014b2b.fst'
  hmm_dir: '/usr/local/share/pocketsphinx/model/hmm/fr_FR/french_f0'

Anyway it is still not working for me : it is like it doesn't hear anything :

INFO:client.stt:Transcribed: ['']
INFO:client.stt:Transcribed: ['']
INFO:client.stt:Transcribed: ['']
INFO:client.stt:Transcribed: ['']
INFO:client.stt:Transcribed: ['']
INFO:client.stt:Transcribed: ['']

Debug mode doesn't show anything useful either :-(

hello

je vais parler en français pour avoir plus simple. j'ai lut énormément de chose en français et en anglais j'ai voulus faire des test avec julius pour jasper, tout a foirer. j'ai même fait une overdose de lecture tellement j’étais a bout et je n'ai rien trouver. n’étant pas non plus un expert linux je suis d'autant plus larguer. pourrais tu m'aider avec des instructions claire?

je lit " j'ai fait des modif dans fst.py " mais il est ou ce fst.py. a chaque coup je me fait avoir parce que à un moment je ne trouve pas un fichier ou j'ai un commande qui passe pas. enfin

j'ai une pi b+ jasper et pocketsphinx qui tourne en anglais ( après 30 minutes ça plante sa me dit overfload, mais ce problème c'est pour plus tard) 

[Guilhem]

If you don't mind, I continue in english so that others can take advantage of that discussion too

Default configuration is the following :

pocketsphinx:
  fst_model: '[JASPER_INSTALL_DIR]/phonetisaurus/g014b2b.fst'
  hmm_dir: '/usr/local/share/pocketsphinx/model/hmm/en_US/hub4wsj_sc_8k'

What I tried : I downloaded the following files :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/files/Acoustic%20and%20Language%20Models/French%20Language%20Model/french3g62K.lm.dmp/download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/files/Acoustic%20and%20Language%20Models/French%20F0%20Broadcast%20News%20Acoustic%20Model/lium_french_f0.tar.gz/download

And declared them in /home/pi/.jasper/profile.yml to replace default configuration :

pocketsphinx:
  fst_model: '/usr/local/share/pocketsphinx/model/lm/fr_FR/french3g62K.lm.dmp'
  hmm_dir: '/usr/local/share/pocketsphinx/model/hmm/fr_FR/french_f0'

Anyway, it does not work :-(
Jasper just doesn't hear anything
I don't know why !

[Julien De visscher]

ok for everybody in english

i test pocketsphinx with the french dictionary with this command in a shell : 

pocketsphinx_continuous -inmic yes -lm 8521.lm -dict 8521.dic

i dont understant how pocketsphinx work and after a lot of error he start.

i you found solution tell me please. i search to but i lose hope.

[Julien De visscher]

i have compile g014b2b.fst when i install it 

can be compile lium_french?

[Julien De visscher]

i don't understand, when i read about pocketsphinx he talk about file.lm and file.dic 

but i don't found this in jasper

[Dũng Lê Xuân]
