About
This project is a wrapper for Pocketsphinx for Android providing high-level interface for recognizing the microphone input.
Build
You will need SWIG, Gradle and Android NDK to build a distributable archive of pocketsphinx for Android. It is better to use recent versions.
You need to checkout sphinxbase, pocketsphinx and pocketsphinx-android and put them in the same folder.
Root folder
\_pocketsphinx
\_sphinxbase
\_pocketsphinx-android
Older versions might be incompatible with the latest pocketsphinx-android, so you need to make sure you are using latest versions. You can use the following command to checkout from repository:
git clone https://github.com/cmusphinx/sphinxbase
git clone https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx
git clone https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx-android
After checkout you need to update the file 'local.properties' in the project root and define the following properties:
- sdk.dir - path to Android SDK
- ndk.dir - path to Android NDK
- pocketsphinx.dir - path to pocketsphinx folder
- sphinxbase.dir - path to sphinxbase folder
For example:
sdk.dir=/Users/User/Library/Android/sdk
ndk.dir=/Users/User/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle
pocketsphinx.dir=/Users/user/pocketsphinx
sphinxbase.dir=/Users/user/sphinxbase
After everything is set, run ./gradlew build
. It will create pocketsphinx-android-5prealpha-release.aar and pocketsphinx-android-5prealpha-debug.aar in build/output.
