Speech Recognition on Robotino
Robotino can now comprehend basic human speech commands. Robotino uses the open source speech recognition engine called Julius.
Setting up Speech Recognition
Setting up speech recognition is done in two parts. The first part involves training of the speech data and creation of the acoustic model and the second involves the actual execution of the speech recognition engine with the created acoustic model.
Creating an Acoustic Model
The HTK toolkit (version 3.4) shall be used to create an acoustic model. Please follow the following steps.
Step 1
You will need to register with HTK before you can download it. Please do so.
Step 2
Download the sources for HTK toolkit 3.4 from here. Also download the HTK samples from here.
Step 3
- Move to your home directory
cd ~
- Create a directory called bin
mkdir bin
- Unpack the downloaded HTK toolkit sources and HTK samples in a folder called htk-3.4 in the bin directory. The bin directory should look as follows
ls bin htk-3.4 samples
- Move the samples folder to the htk-3.4 folder as follows
cd bin mv samples htk-3.4
- If you have a newer version of the gcc compiler (version 4 or above), you will need to install gcc version 3.4 so that HTK will compile properly. Use the following gcc's version command to see which version is installed on your system
gcc -v
- If your gcc version is 4 and above, follow the listed commands to install gcc 3.4
sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 /usr/bin/gcc
- Install the external dependencies as follows
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libesd0-dev libasound2-dev libzip1 flex
- Now move to the htk-3.4 dir and configure htk as follows. Note change %yourusername% from the command to your user name.
cd htk-3.4 ./configure --prefix=/home/%yourusername%/bin/htk-3.4
- Now run make all and make install. This should install the created binaries to the folder /home/yourusername/bin/htk-3.4/bin .
make all make install
- Change directory back to home and create a folder called voxforge and then a folder called HTK_scripts in the voxforge folder.
cd ~ mkdir voxforge cd voxforge mkdir HTK_scripts cd HTK_scripts
- Now copy some scripts from the htk-3.4/samples folder to the HTK_scripts folder as follows
cp ../../bin/htk-3.4/samples/RMHTK/perl_scripts/mkclscript.prl . cp ../../bin/htk-3.4/samples/HTKTutorial/maketrihed . cp ../../bin/htk-3.4/samples/HTKTutorial/prompts2mlf . cp ../../bin/htk-3.4/samples/HTKTutorial/prompts2wlist .
- Your HTK_scripts folder should look like this
ls maketrihed mkclscript.prl prompts2mlf prompts2wlist
- Now you will need to update your user path which can be done as follows. First change to your home directory and edit the .bashrc file.
cd ~ gedit .bashrc
- Add the following to the end of the .bashrc file. Note change %yourusername% from the command to your username.
# User specific environment and startup programs for HTK PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/home/%yourusename%/bin/htk-3.4/bin
- Source your .bashrc file to reflect the changes
source ~/.bashrc
- Test if your HTK toolkit has been installed correctly by running the following command.
HVite -V
- You should see an output similar to the following.

- Now to switch back to your original gcc version, do the following (The original version in my case was 4.3, yours may differ)
sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.3 /usr/bin/gcc
Step 4
Install Audacity as follows
sudo apt-get install audacity
