I'm trying to implement porcupine wakeword in python and have followed the instructions from here
I have the following code:
import pvporcupine
### Porcupine wakeword
handle = pvporcupine.create(keywords=['computer', 'jarvis'])
def get_next_audio_frame():
pass
while True:
keyword_index = handle.process(get_next_audio_frame())
if keyword_index >= 0:
# Insert detection event callback here
print('Yes sir?')
pass
but I receive the following error:
❯ python3 porcupine.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "porcupine.py", line 10, in <module>
keyword_index = handle.process(get_next_audio_frame()) File "/home/rupstar/Computer/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pvporcupine/porcupine.py", line 129, in process
if len(pcm) != self.frame_length: TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()
This may not be perfect (it isn't), but it shows how I've created a personal voice assistant in python on WSL2 running Ubuntu 20.04 on a Windows 10 machine. The voice assistant responds to a wakeword (Jarvis or Computer) and then executes commands. Relevant to this post is how porcupine is invoked:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#Porcupine wakeword includes
import struct
import pyaudio
import pvporcupine
porcupine = None
pa = None
audio_stream = None
try:
porcupine = pvporcupine.create(keywords=["computer", "jarvis"])
pa = pyaudio.PyAudio()
audio_stream = pa.open(
rate=porcupine.sample_rate,
channels=1,
format=pyaudio.paInt16,
input=True,
frames_per_buffer=porcupine.frame_length)
while True:
pcm = audio_stream.read(porcupine.frame_length)
pcm = struct.unpack_from("h" * porcupine.frame_length, pcm)
keyword_index = porcupine.process(pcm)
if keyword_index >= 0:
print("Hotword Detected")
speak("Computer online")
