UMass Wearable Hardware Details
Some local documentation is available in /usr/doc/ViaVoice.
In order to train ViaVoice to your own voice, you must do the following:
finn> sh
finn% source vvsetenv
finn% vvstartuserguru
The whole process takes about 45 minutes. Make sure that you use one of the HUDs to do the training (not the wrist-mounted displays). And - make sure you have plenty of battery power.
When you are initially calibrating the audio levels, ViaVoice claims that it will emit a tone to indicate that the calibration is done. I've never heard this tone. Once the interface comes back with an audio quality rating, you are done.
If you have difficulties obtaining a reasonable audio quality rating (i.e. you get a poor or fair rating), then make sure that you are in a quiet environment and that the microphone is placed close to your mouth.
finn> sh
finn% source vvsetenv
finn% xvoice
Also: see the README from Xvoice (note that this corresponds to xvoice version 0.9.5, which is what we have running on our linux 2.4.9 machines)
