Psyche Project Page
Psyche is a project we started for SCALE in 2003. It was designed to demonstrate speech recognition and speech synthesis on the GNU/Linux platform. We had lines of people waiting to talk to Psyche at the show. Since it was such a big hit and we will continue as long as interest holds up.
In the tradition of *nix programming Psyche itself is basically just a glue that cobbles together some existing tools. The main components being Sphinx and Festival along with a few other tools to provide a system of speech recognition and speech synthesis on a Linux based PC. Most of the original code was written in Python by Steve Petrovits & Rick Wang. Since then we have made improvements including a new module that reads IRC chat logs aloud in real time as they arrive.
If you are fluent in Python or would like to become fluent this is a great project to join. You can find some project files here. They may not be completely up to date but this disclaimer will be removed after we insure they are.
More to follow soon!
