I'm doing a pretty big overhaul of the code right now

I will look into that once I'm done with the rewrite

I fixing a bunch of errors and beginning work on the input processor

*I am fixing

Ok so the java speech api won't work for me. I'm getting a null pointer with desc = Central.createRecognizer(new EngineModeDesc()) desc.allocate()

new EngineModeDesc(LOCALE.English)*

Russell Greene

@russelltg

where is the exception? on allocate()?

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

yep

Russell Greene

@russelltg

so the problem is in createRecognizer

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

yep

Thee docs say it gives null if there's no local available

Russell Greene

@russelltg

local or locale?

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

locale

Russell Greene

@russelltg

okay

hello senor

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

@vincentes Can you push your code to Github?

Russell Greene

@russelltg

yee

that way we can debug

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

And I can see the program

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

sure

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

Thank you

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

well.. I'm just testing the api

haven't done any real progress

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

Oh, ok

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

yeah sorry

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

I thought you had the base source code and are testing the speech API within that :D

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

I have some stuff planned out, I need to get the api working though

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

Cool, ok

Ah, so you are using CMUSphinx?

Does this guide help? http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialsphinx4

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

so here's the full test

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
            // Create a synthesizer for English
            Synthesizer synth = Central.createSynthesizer(
                    new SynthesizerModeDesc(Locale.ENGLISH));

            // Get it ready to speak
            synth.allocate();
            synth.resume();

            // Speak the "Hello world" string
            synth.speakPlainText("Hello, world!", null);

            // Wait till speaking is done
            synth.waitEngineState(Synthesizer.QUEUE_EMPTY);

            // Clean up
            synth.deallocate();
        } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

found from http://pixel.recoil.org/code/jspeechlib/CodeExamples.html

It's a different test, but it's not working either

java.lang.NullPointerException
at DevAssist.main(DevAssist.java:21)

which woud be -> synth.allocate();

That also happens with the recognizer

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

Sounds like you have a memory issue

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

could be a lib dependency issue maybe?

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

It appears this is using javax

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

yes

Victor Tolpegin

@DarkmatterVale

Which should be included in the default Java installation...

Vicente Bermúdez

@vincentes

no, it's not

from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jsapifaq-135248.html
Where can I get the Java Speech API (JSAPI)?
The Java Speech API (JSAPI) is not part of the JDK and Sun does not ship an implementation of JSAPI. Instead, we work with third party speech companies to encourage the availability of multiple implementations.

@DarkmatterVale

FreeTTS looks old

This looks cool, but you will need an API key from Google to use it
