Voice Recognition is required by Client
|
Dear All, I'm currently working on a project of a telecom company to design the AV system in their Board room. My client requires Voice recognition for the controls from i-pad or Touch panel even very simple words like presentation or video conference or select. Can anyone guide me if how is it possible as the internet connectivity to the system is not possible due to the limitations/policies of the company for any external device. |

Check out VoicePod: ? Standalone (non-Internet) voice recognition for pre-configured phrases, with a 232 connection for control system integration. On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 7:36 AM, asif.crestron@... [Crestron] <Crestron@...> wrote:

Thanks for your response.?
The problem is that client don't want to get it through any other device or app. bcoz they will not allow anyone to any new device which is physically viewable and is not included in their interior design. They want the integration in the same app and specially push to talk will not be accepted by the client. Please advise. |

All the Crestron voice recognition requires an internet connection and will not work without it.? It is only built into the Android based panels and uses Google's voice recognition service.?
If they open up the network, you might be able to make it work from the touchpanel as long as you have one of the Android ones.? I am fairly certain that Apple does not allow Crestron to use Siri for voice recognition purposes so the iPad would seem hopeless without a third party product.? |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThere was some chatter a few weeks ago about Dragon opening its software to 3rd party devs on iOS. ?It's never been confirmed but long suspected that Dragon provides the engine for Siri. If it is available, making it work would likely be no small feat. There's also been speculation that Siri will be opened up to devs in iOS10, which is still several months away, and, just a rumor at this point.? On Jan 20, 2016, at 8:54 AM, rlray@...

VoicePod has connections for an external mic and speaker, so you can hide it in a rack somewhere and trigger via wakeup phrase ("Hello VoicePod") or a button on the touchpanel. I have tested VoicePod for a conference-room scenario, and it works well for what it does.? The lack of free-form dialing killed it for that project (can't recognize a string of digits without prompting for each one).The library of recognized commands can only be expanded without cooperation from VoicePod, which they offer as a paid service.? The library of speech files is the same way. Keep in mind that it's not free-form text recognition like people are used to with Siri, it's strictly menu-based.? If your application fits well into the existing menus (designed for residential A/V control), you're golden.? If not, you need to pay for custom programming. The 232 interface is sensible and easy to handle from Crestron. I don't know of any alternatives that work without Internet connections. On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 9:38 AM, asif.crestron@...

Thanks Jeremy.
This would be for some basic AV and lights control in my gym, where not having to get off the machine to change the music / TV channels would be of benefit! I had also forgotten that the TSW1052 (purportedly) does voice commands. This might be worth a play first, although I think you need to press a button first to make it listen (?) |

They were talking about adding wakeup phrases to the TSW-XX2s, I don't know if that's available yet or not. On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 10:15 AM, nmasterson@... [Crestron] <Crestron@...> wrote:

Another +1 for Voice Pod if you don't have internet. It's not Jarvis but it works pretty well once you learn it's phrases. I would LOVE to work with someone on getting the Amazon Echo to play nice with Crestron but you have to setup a server that they play nice with and that seems like more stuff to support than it is worth.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMy panel thinks someone says OK Crestron about once or twice a night, and it¡¯s usually audio from the TV that does it. Occasionally someone will be talking and the panel will think it heard the key word. ?I thought there was a way to turn down the sensitivity¡. But I haven¡¯t gotten around to looking for it. ?

At the Master's class last year they had it programmed to answer to "OK Crestron" (as opposed to "OK Google").? So, you don't have to press a button unless you want to.? Your mileage may vary with how well it works.?
