Ubuntu :: Speech Dispatcher Stopping All Attempts At Booting?
Mar 23, 2011
Title is pretty much the best description i can give. I have a second computer that i'm trying to put ubuntu on except i just can't boot into it. I've tried multiple ways be it from usb, from cd/dvd, installing it through wubi and reinstalling... Every single time a get some error due to speech dispatcher not being enabled and that is causing it to get stuck at the splash screen...
I'm using Fedora 14 / KDE and I'm having problems trying to start the Speech Dispatcher.I get the fallowing from the logs:Code:error while loading shared libraries: libsdaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to stop kvm and kvm-amd modules to run at boot by adding; Code: blacklist kvm blacklist kvm-amd at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot PC. However it doesn't work.
I installed HP multifunction inkjet printer.Since then, I'm always noticing the blue HP HPLIP servicestatus icon in the system tray. It appears that I can onlyhide or quit it once it has started.Is there a way not even have it started from the system booting?
Boot of a new minimal system hangs on "Stopping save kernel messages" or "stopping system v runlevel compatibility". I have ubuntu minimal iso x86_64 from usb stick created with unetbootin (don't have a cd drive on the machine in question), and after that I didsudo aptitude install gnome-terminal network-manager-gnome gdm geditsudo rebootnever got a system back. Annoyingly I can't boot into the recovery mode either, and it seems the keyboard is only semi-responsive (i.e. many dead keys when at the grub menu).qualms about reinstalling, but I've done this a few times and ended up at the same place every time.
I want a tool / library / package in C/C++/Python for basically Text to Speech - Speech to Text in Linux.I've tried pyttsx in python , but it runs only in windows as expected, in Linux (openSUSE 11.2 , the script just hangs up )festival in C. - in Ubuntu - Could not configured it successfully.
I'm trying to get KNetworkManager to run a script after my wireless connection is activated. I created the script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d using the same format as scripts to start firewalls, but it doesn't seem to run. I can run the script successfully from the command prompt, but it doesn't happen automatically
In December I finally filled up my root partition and broke Suse 11.1. I therefore resized my partitions and installed Suse 11.3 on /root. I didn't not touch my /home partition.
I notice that when I leave my machine and come back the screen has locked. I have tried to turn off the screensaver, but it hasn't worked. I have Googled, but unfortunately the screen shots don't look like what I have and the instructions to stop this do not seem to match what I am seeing on the screen.
I'm trying to migrate to Ubuntu from Mac OS X. I have set up a dual boot on my MacBook and I am currently working to get everything I need for my computing-life up and running in Ubuntu.
I have found almost everything, expect a speech synthesis similar to the one native to Mac OS X's.
I use the OS X speech synthesis to have text I have written read back to be, I'm not blind; just really good a missing small words. What I don't want is to have all the menus and bottoms read out, only text I have selected.
I have tried something with 'festival' and some GUI overlay (think that is what it is called) but it read absolutely everything out loud (and sounds like Amiga's speech engine, i.e. a quite low quality).
In my Mac OS X I have a really nice set up (with a voice called Alex) where I can start speech of selected text with "cmd + ; " and stop it with " cmd+' " (two shortcuts not used by the system).
Are there any Speech recognization (Speech to text) software to use with Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx),So that I can dictate text in to a word processing program with them?
Is there any way to get a text to speech engine on ubuntu like microsoft mike and mary? I tried espeak and gespeaker, but their selection of voices weren't too good.
I've got a bunch of hand-written notes which I would like to put into Kabikaboo (great app by the way) - but it is a real pain reading stuff then typing it up. I'd like a speech-to-text app, so I can just read my notes out loud and the computer will turn them into text files.Looking through Synaptic, all I can find is Julius; and that does not seem to be an easy-to-use app at all. So many parameters to set, an impenetratable (to me) manpage; and although I am a CLI user quite often, some kind of GUI would be nice.
After my ubuntu 9.10 had updated automatically it started talk something when login screen appears. Also after every startup, process named speech-dispatcher appears and it uses almost 100% of CPU and I have to kill it manually. I removed file speech-dispatch from /etc/init.d, but it didn't help.
MPlayer asked for Windows Media Speech Decoder plugin, it tried searching for the plugin but it wasn't found. I also couldn't find it in Synaptic Package manager. i wonder where and how i can get it.
I'm looking into getting an ok microphone for guitar, song and speech, to use with Ubuntu. It's for hobby use, so I don't need the best microphone, just something that is good and will work in Ubuntu. Any recommendations? Should I get an USB one, or just a normal one and use my built in sound card?
One of my friends seems to have been won over to the idea of me installing Linux onto his pc but he relies heavily on Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition which unfortunately isn't available for Linux.
I want to develop a system that converts speech to text in C sharp in Windows 7 platform.I haven't enough idea about this one.From google that,there will be grammerbuliding.Moreover i think,there will be a problem of spelling words correctly. from where i will start or which steps i should follow to develop the system??
After 5+ years of using Ubuntu, I am switching to it as my desktop. On my old FreeBSD desktop i was running KDE3; now I am runnung 10.04.1 and find that even tho things are more friendly with KDE4, one of the tools I use most,kttsmgr, no longer works like it did on my previous desktop.
How can I configure kttsmgr to use festival (right now it says "espeak") and to present the dialogue that prints the strings beneath what is being read? --Note that I downloaded flite and eflite for testing purposes. Both fail. not a peep. I do have audio with songs and can listen to streams, but nothing from ktts*
I'm finding increasingly difficult to type because of neurological problems. I've just had a meeting with someone from university who said they could get me some speech recognition software to write assignments. I was wondering if anyone knows of any which will run on Ubuntu rather than just Windows. (I don't have Windows on either of my computers)
I have installed Fedora 11 recently on a new system. Sphinx speech recognition was working fine on my old system. When i run the same project on my new system, the system does not respond as it is waiting for microphone voice input.Then I checked the microphone and have set it properly and its working now. The details how i made my microphone working is at the following link:
