Hi,
  Can you send me your build.log, and I'll take a look.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,

Sorry for the late reply. I was in the ACL conference last week.

Thanks for your informative email. As the problem in Vista, I
recompiled the Olympus on Windows XP. The tutorial 1 & 2 are working fine.
Thanks for your great effort. There is only a minor issue about speech
recognition due to my accent. But I guess it should be improve if I provide
more training data.

On Windows Vista, I downloaded the trunk source code to compile.
But it seems not to work. There were error while compiling as in attached
image. I did some preliminary checking and found that some files are missing
such as Libraries\RavenClaw\DMCore\Agents\CoreAgents\InteractionEventManagerAgent.cpp.
This file causes error while compiling RavenClaw. I don’t know what is the
exact reason, but I think you are still doing on those source code and it might
cause the problem.

Once again, thanks for your help.

Hi Tran,
  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originally made for Windows xp, running on Windows Vista.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.
  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 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F26B1AA4-741A-433A-9BE5-FA919850BDBF
.  You will also need to install CMake via the Win32 Installer from
http://cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
.  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.
   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.
   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.

Thanks,

Hi Benjamin,

I managed to run the TTY
version of MyBus successfully. It was very good. However, for the SAPI version,
there was error. When I init_session, the console output “Welcome to
MyBus”, but there is no voice from the system. I guess it is because of
the Kalliope has some problems with speech synthesis. After sometimes,
PocketSphinx crashes. I don’t know what is the cause. I ran an example of
Microsoft Speech. It can talk with Anna voice, but Mary and Mike voice has
error. Could that be a problem with the voice configuration in Kalliope? Please
help me on this. Thanks

I also found that, the source
code on SVN cannot compile correctly if you don’t make some changes in
the perl script. I attach a change log file for your reference. It is nice if
you make these changes on the source to minimize the effort of other
developers.

Hi Tran,

  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.

Thanks,

Ben

These systems are pedagogical and
follow the tutorial material.

Have you tried to compile and use one
of the example systems, such as MeetingLine?

To whom it may concerns,

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
