Subject: [Olympus developers 13]:  new olympus version
Message-ID: <47F50F31.8030404@cs.cmu.edu>

I've branched olympus 2.1. This isn't the first 
olympus-ravenclaw-communicator system, but by some measure its the first 
such system that can be used as a plug-in framework. Since this is the 
only version that's tagged or branched, I'm going to change the version 
on all of the open tickets to 2.1. New tickets should generally be 
assigned to 2.1.

Thanks,
-Thomas

Subject: [Olympus developers 14]: New milestone for Tutorials/Documentation
	for Olympus 2.1
Message-ID: <47FA35EA.2050401@cs.cmu.edu>

Hi everyone,

I created a new Milestone on Trac to get a usable version of the 
tutorials/documentation for Olympus v2.1 by June 1 (the ACL tutorial is 
June 15).
All issues with the documentation wiki pages 
(http://wiki.speech.cs.cmu.edu/olympus/index.php/Documentation) should 
be put in as tickets to that milestone...
Feel free to contribute!! Of course, in addition to add tickets, you're 
most welcome to fix the documentation if you find something wrong or 
incomplete in it...

Subject: [Olympus developers 15]:  vista
Message-ID: <9458.151.201.104.126.1207748024.squirrel@webmail.cs.cmu.edu>

Mehrbod Sharifi wasn't able to get a working system on Vista because
KalliopeSAPI didn't work for him. I gave him a KalliopeSwift binary and
MeetingLine now works. So we have one working Vista exemplar.

For what it's worth MeetingLine in the TTY and SAPI configurations work 
fine on a Mac running Parallels with XP.

Subject: [Olympus developers 19]:  PocketSphinx API changes
Message-ID: <480D02E0.1010304@cs.cmu.edu>

I probably mentioned to you elsewhere that the PocketSphinx API is 
changing with the next release.  This is why we had some problems a 
while back with all of your components that pointed to the trunk of 
PocketSphinx SVN breaking :)

This new API is almost completely implemented (except for word 
confidence scores, at the moment), and it brings with it a few advantages:

 1) Decoder is much smaller
 2) Decoder is a bit faster
 3) Language models can be interpolated at run-time
 4) Thread safe, and you can run multiple decoders in the same process 
(with or without threading)

The API migration document for PocketSphinx 0.5 isn't done yet, but you 
can browse the API documentation on-line for the time being:

http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/doc/doxygen/pocketsphinx/

This also includes links to the SphinxBase API, which becomes a bit more 
important since it is what you will use to do LM scoring.
