Hi Tran,<br> Kalliope is configured in Configurations/Desktop-SAPI/KalliopeSAPI.cfg inside of your example system directory to use the first adult male voice it finds. You could change the male to female in that configuration file, and it will use the first female voice it finds, which will probably be Anna in your case. This will probably cause Kalliope to synthesize correctly, as if the SAPI example run time application runs into an error with the male voices, then Kalliope would as well. I'm not sure why the voices seem to be corrupted, but it could be a problem with the SAPI 5.1 SDK, which was originally made for Windows xp, running on Windows Vista. The current Olympus trunk will detect the installation of the Windows SDK 6.1 "for Windows Server 2008" which includes the SAPI 5.3 SDK. I am also sorry to hear that PocketSphinxEngine is crashing. The PocketSphinxEngine in the Olympus trunk was largely rewritten to support PocketSphinx 0.5. <br>
In light of the PocketSphinxEngine and Kalliope issues, and your use of Windows Vista, I'd recommend that you try to use the Olympus trunk. We are probably a couple of weeks away from an Olympus 2.5 release from the Olympus trunk. As such the trunk is generally stable now. You can download the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008, which includes SAPI 5.3 from <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F26B1AA4-741A-433A-9BE5-FA919850BDBF">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F26B1AA4-741A-433A-9BE5-FA919850BDBF</a> . You will also need to install CMake via the Win32 Installer from <a href="http://cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html">http://cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html</a> . The build scripts currently cause CMake to generate the Visual Studio solution files in the Build/cmake directory off of the Olympus Root and off the root of the MeetingLine and soon to be added Madeline example system.<br>
Let me know if KalliopeSAPI ends up working with SAPI 5.3 SDK. If it still doesn't work (but doesn't crash), then I recommend that you use the new KalliopeFlite support in the Olympus trunk instead, which you can use by running OlympusRebuildFlite.pl in your Olympus trunk root and then running SystemRunFlite.bat rather SystemRun.bat. While I haven't recently encountered a crash while running one of our systems for a while with the trunk, if anything crashes for you or is not working, let me know so I can do my best to fix it before the release.<br>
Thank you for sending in your changes to the grammar generation scripts in the Tutorials. I committed your changes, and I am sorry for the trouble. <br><br>Thanks,<br>Ben Frisch<br>CMU Speech Lab Undergraduate Research Assistant for Summer 2009<br>

<p>Hi Tran,</p>
<div>
<p> At least from picture, it looks like you forgot
to start the session first. Just enter init_session and MyBus should
start. Let's us know if you have further questions.</p>

<p>We are doing research on Dialogue Management System. We found that Olympus
is an interesting system. We downloaded and manage to compile the source code
and tutorial 1/2 successfully. However, when we run it, there seems to be
nothing happens (no interaction from system, no response while we talking). We
do not know how to operate it. Hence, could you be able to help us to instruct
how to use the system? We look forward to hear from you</p>
