TV Remote Control via Offline Speech Recognition

I just finished the instruction to send remote commands from C.H.I.P. to the Samsung TV. I also gave some details about our journey to find a way to access C.H.I.P.'s PWM0 pin. The lib can be found on one of Erick's GitHub repository.

Edit:I found a video demonstration of the system. It's uploaded on the files section of this project. Unfortunately there isn't any logs on screen for you to see, but believe me: his code was running on C.H.I.P.

Finally working on Android nougat. Last version was working fine on KitKat, but bad things happens sometimes

It appears that C.H.I.P.'s manufacturer has definitely closed its doors. Even the site is down now.

I just uploaded a video of one of my previous projects where I deployed a speech recognition system (based on Julius decoder software) running on a Beaglebone Black computer, which runs a Debian-based OS. The video can be found in this project's “files” section The system was configured as a speech recognition server, which is accessed via Wi-Fi on a local network by an Android client application.

The difference to what I'm proposing now is that the speech recognition system will run on the Android-based smartphone (thanks to Google's native API); and the communication to the single board computer (now NTC's C.H.I.P.) that sends control commands to the TV will take place via Bluetooth rather than Wi-Fi.

Edit:
This video is also available on YouTube :)

Just finished the section explaining how to build an offline speech recognition system with PocketSphinx in American English and Brazilian Portuguese languages. I did not go into details of the C++ code I wrote over the API. The code is well commented and freely available on my GitHub.

Edit:
I found a video of the system running on Ubuntu. Here it follows.

I just met the Postimg.org online platform to store pics. I actually loved it. Besides, since I've got sick of Imgur (maybe due to my lack of knowledge about how to store pics inside a specific album), I'm now moving all pics to postimg.

Just finished the Details section. I think I have made my point trying to justify why offline speech recognition has its advantages over cloud-based solutions. Part of the text extracted from the World Health Organization book was just translated from my Master Thesis, which unfortunately is entirely written in Brazilian Portuguese :(

Anyways, here follows the link: http://www.ppgcc.propesp.ufpa.br/Disserta%C3%A7%C3%B5es_2017/Cassio%20Trindade%20Batista_Disserta%C3%A7%C3%A3o.pdf

I forgot a proof that the thing is working :)

Here's a nice screenshot:

Hey!

Just started this new project. I hope I have time to document things here.

The github repository is now available. I've made some tests on my desktop Ubuntu and everything went fine. Hope I have good luck when moving to the ARM/embedded Linux.
