voice VS vosk-api

All I could find about audio receiving was this release in the voice package.

Then I built a command and added this code, some of it has been taken from the radio bot example in the Github repository.

using @discord.js/voice you can receive audio - there's an example of how to record the data to a local file, im sure you can adapt this to send that data into a voice recognition service https://github.com/discordjs/voice/tree/main/examples/recorder

- Discord.js audio broadcasting example: https://github.com/discordjs/voice/tree/main/examples/radio-bot - MOTU Loopback description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKjKymjc_R8 - Virtual Audio Cable: https://vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQjwkIGKBhCxARIsAINMioKXQmZoTrzsLb_mW96Jxuy0LmMZnRSsvgGr9FJb0YSaFCOKv_HNSWEaAoDzEALw_wcB There is a free version which is sufficient to achieve the loopback device

Here's a radio bot example made with @discordjs/voice https://github.com/discordjs/voice/tree/main/examples/radio-bot

So I don't know if my issue comes from my lack of knowledge of discord.js/voice or VOSK. so I guess the most important thing I need to see is if I am creating a proper stream for the Vosk API to capture the audio. if I can figure out how to capture an audio stream I can probably import that in to vosk and figure out how to use vosk myself. but right now I can't even get close! Thank you in advance...Sorry if this isn't the right place for this

I remember a while ago checking out the issues with Vosk speech recognition (written in C). A handful of it's issues are related to segfaults and null pointers.

first, good initiative! thanks for sharing. i think you gotta be more diligent and careful with the problem statement.

checking the weather in Sofia, Bulgaria requires cloud, current information. it's not "random speech". ESP SR capability issues don't mean that you cannot process it locally.

the comment was on "voice processing" i.e. sending speech to the cloud, not sending a call request to get the weather information.

besides, local intent detection, beyond 400 commands, there are great local STT options, working better than most cloud STTs for "random speech"

I did a one-off text to speech tool for someone last year and had pretty good results with VOSK. One upside is that it works offline, although I imagine if you use TTS a lot you'll notice issues I didn't.

You can use vosk-api (https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api) to listen to your audio, transform it to text, and then post the text to GPT-3, then using the vector sdk, have your responses said by vector.

The set up script wants to download https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api/releases/download/v0.3.45/vosk-model-en-v0.3.45.zip, but this resource is not found. AFAICT all releases never contained a model file. Remedy: hardcode one model from https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models. I guessed and picked the one with the closest name, vosk-model-en-us-0.22.zip, just so I could continue.
