Simon on the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

Heureka! In my attempt to get Jarvis like speech recognition to the Linux household i was finally able to compile Simon 4.1 on the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B from Feb. 2015 (UK order).

This will enable me to port the scenarios already written and to write new ones just for the Pi. I tried beforehand to install Jasper and a few dependencies might be solved from there.

Here is a quick rundown:

- Make sure your SD card has at least 8 Gig! (4 is not enough!)
- Install all the dependencies for Simon:
apt-get install qt4-qtconfig kdelibs5-dev libxtst-dev libsamplerate-dev build-essential cmake gettext kdeartwork libqwt-dev libqt4-sql-sqlite libqaccessibilityclient0 libopencv-dev libboost-dev libqwt6 git libphonon-dev libattica0.4 libattica-dev zlib1g-dev libasound2-dev libpocketsphinx-dev libpocketsphinx1 libsphinxbase-dev libsphinxbase1 git-core python-dev python-pip bison libportaudio-dev python-pyaudio pocketsphinx libphonon4

- clone the github repo (version 4.1 for KDE 4 tested!)

git clone https://github.com/KDE/simon
cd simon


- Build simon with build.sh
./build.sh

The time to compile it was around 85 minutes. So grab some coffe.

For configuring Simon on the Pi stay tuned.

I also installed (from the jasper doku) this stuff& more but it maybe not needed....

sudo su -c "echo 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t experimental install phonetisaurus m2m-aligner mitlm
