Werner separated notation from Muse, and is developing it as a standalone
programme.
I've just noticed this morning, after reading Edwards's post that Toby
Smithe has been working on this at version 0.7.0. The current release is
0.8.0, and quite considerable further along the road. Is this the normal
pattern of events for programme inclusion?

Susan, in a fit of bravado, I tried to compile 0.8.0 last night, and got
plenty of errors, all pretty well related to a cmake problem. I'm not smart
enough with linux yet to understand why i would get an error stating a
programme i have installed, isn't installed. (?)

If any of you have the time and knowledge to check out why this breaks, i
would appreciate it. I'm only a notation editor and a few midi ports away
from dumping Win and going pure linux, and in terms of printout and
usability in my particular workflow, mscore gets the closest.

Regards to you all for the festive season, and i wish you prosperity,
success, and much enjoyment in the year to come..

Re: Mscore from source

2007-12-23 Thread Susan Cragin
OK, all instructions to compile from source will be on the list. I am entirely confident of being able to install it. BTW -- I'm a linux enthusiast, not a musician. I use Studio because I run Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 speech recognition software on WINE, and I like the RT kernel and the sound tweaks. I've upgraded to Hardy Heron already, but there shouldn't be a problem. I assume most of you have Gutsy.

0.8.0 must have just come out.  It did; on the 19th of December.  The packages 
were made on the 2nd of December, and 0.7.0 was the latest available release 
at that time.

I'm sure it will all get caught up eventually.  It's the nature of this entire 
development model, where everybody is on a different schedule.  New distro 
releases ship with old versions of Rosegarden very frequently, for example.  
There's not much to be done about it.  Even when we (Rosegarden) actively try 
to coordinate our own release with that of some distro, it never works out 
well.

Just the nature of the game, I'm afraid.

As the help link says, you need to install an irc client - there is a

 Is anyone using SR?

I haven't tried anything in some time, but my old boss sent me on a quest to 
get speech recognition working under Linux, so he could dictate documents 
rather than type them.

I spent vast amounts of my own personal time on this project.  I'm afraid I 
don't remember enough of the details to even try to get you started following 
my footsteps, but I can tell you it proved to be an abysmal failure.

In the end, I was very glad to put Windows back on his computer to get him to 
leave this alone.

Things may have changed since then, but I'd be surprised if they have.

Thanks Jonathan, I know now what Aseq is: Alsa Sequencer. I found it at 
ApplicationsSound and videoAconnectgui or just writing at terminal

It shows UC-33 as detected.

Hello Javier, I have used my x-session as a controller and midi interface.  It 
usually is not available after a boot until I move the switch off, then on.  A 
quick check in Applications/Sound and Video/Aseq will show which midi 
interfaces are available - if I see the x-session I know the rest is good to go 
;)


IIRC, the module supporting this device is snd-usb-audio.

$sudo modprobe usb-audio

I like to watch the system log messages in Administration/System logs when 
connecting new devices.  You should see some messages when turning the switch 
on related to a new usb device, and the loading of the right module.


You can also see which devices are connected to your USB Buss with:

$lsusb

Hope this helps and happy holidays!

 I had IBM's VoaVoice for Linuc and Xvoice for Linux as well working on
 a Debian system five or so years ago, but I had a system crash and

 system.

Yeah, those are the names of the things I wrestled with to no avail.  The 
problem now is that all of that is obsolete, and/or unobtainable.

For example, the ViaVoice Linux mini-FAQ said in 2005:

  Rupert Kolb asked IBM about the status of Linux ViaVoice in March 2005. The
  answers were: IBM: ``ViaVoice is no longer supported by IBM. You may contact
  Media Gold GmbH, or ScanSoft Germany GmbH''. Media Gold GmbH: ``We have
  nothing for Linux''. ScanSoft Germany GmbH: ``We can't offer a program for
  Linux''. [1]

Then there's the Speech Recognition HOWTO from 2002 [2] which offers more 
promises of things that were, but no longer are.

Finally, I think I pinned my hopes on the Sphinx project, which purported to 
be an open source speech recognition application.  But this warning from 
their web page is an apt assessment of the status quo as of maybe a year ago:

  Note however that Sphinx is not a final product. Those with a certain level
  of expertise can achieve great results with the versions of Sphinx available
  here, but a naive user will certainly need further help. In other words, the
  software available here is not meant for users with no experience in speech,
  but for expert users.[3]

And so on, and so forth.  I probably followed more leads last time, but none 
of them went anywhere.

But if you've got this smell in your nose, don't let me talk you out of 
smashing your head into some brick walls for yourself.  If you're anything 
like me, you're going to try anyway, no matter what anyone says to discourage 
you. So have at it my friend, and good luck!  Maybe you will figure out 
something that I didn't.

Re: Speech Recognition

2007-12-23 Thread Susan Cragin
The only way to get real speech recognition on Linux is to run Dragon 
NaturallySpeaking version 7, 8 or 9, using WINE. 
Version 9, only Preferred works. I think Standard and Preferred both work for 
versions 7 and 8. Forget Professional, Legal and Medical versions. 
Once you get them installed, they run as fast and as accurately as they do on 
Windows, provided you stick to text recognition. 
Text can be input ONLY into the included DragonPad program or the Notepad 
program that comes with WINE. 

From there, text can be cut and pasted into other programs using the mouse and 
keys. 

Follow the directions here:
http://ossri.harvee.org/NaturallySpeakingWine

Start DNS from the desktop icon. Start Notepad from a terminal using the 
command:

wine notepad

If anyone has any difficulty installing, give me a shout on-list using the 
header Speech Recognition --Help or something like that, because I don't read 
all the Studio mailing list entries. 

One tip, if you are new to Dragon NaturallySpeaking ... keep your expectations 
modest. Also, realize that the microphone they ship with the program is a piece 
of crap. If you can't get an accuracy score above 23 for the microphone, throw 
it away and get a new one. (One good thing about this list, I assume you all 
have good microphones.) Good soundcards are also a must. (Another problem you 
probably don't have.) 1GB RAM is essential. A fast processor is good.

Hey, speaking of which, does anybody out there want to buy a gently used Shure 
Beta 58 that was owned by a Rosegarden developer?  :)

I didn't know the difference between cardioid and supercardioid, and wound up 
blowing more money for nothing on something really ill-suited for my 
recording environment.  The supercardioid pattern picks up tons of unwanted 
reflections off my walls, and I never use the much more expensive microphone.  
Cardioid is the way to go in here, definitely, and I'm happier with my plain 
ol' non-Beta SM58.  But of course you can't return a microphone, because you 
might have spit on it, and your saliva might give someone AIDS or something.

Yeah, I know, this isn't Craig's list.  I just thought I'd mention it.
