This week I worked on speech to text ML and on design materials. I created a speech-to-text module that implements two different s2t engines – we can choose which one to run, and after our mic arrives test both to find which works better. Unfortunately for me, there was a lot of installation work to be done for both engines. The code itself was less time-consuming to write than the installation and research required to enable it. The engines are Mozilla DeepSpeech and CMU PocketSphinx; both of them have “stream” constructs which allow predictions to be formed from multiple pieces of audio which are input sequentially. I paid a lot of attention to the interface I was creating with this code as I was simultaneously working on the overall software design of the project.<\/p>\n
In terms of design materials, I started enumerating the interfaces between the more high-level software modules. I also used extra time that I had after finishing the s2t code to draft the Introduction and Design Requirement sections of our design paper. I’ve volunteered to be the presenter for the design review, so I tried to identify the areas of the presentation we needed to flesh out, and I scripted what I wanted to say in the first half of the presentation.<\/p>\n
I feel that I’m on schedule, or maybe slightly ahead. S2t didn’t take the full week so I got ahead on the design materials. For next week, I’ll have finished the transcript-module code that envelops the s2t and speaker identification subsections. Since our team will have finished our presentation outline and slides, I also will have started preparing to deliver the presentation and will have planned the second half of the presentation script.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
