1085 :: Capture output of program?

• Daimon (orginal) [2015-03-28T21:36:16+01:00] view original

  As an intermediate step in playing with voice recognition, I'm thinking to see if I can capture the output of pocketsphinx_continuous, as Aporia does with the bottom panel.

  Could someone point me to how that is done (Code, links, where to look in the Aporia source?)

  I think the Aporia bottom panel is not really related to voice recognition yet. It is simple a set a GTK Widgets, a Textview and a Tree/Listview contained in a Notebook. If you really want to use these Widgets, you may visit a C, Python, Ruby or another GTK tutorial. Translating the code to Nim should be not too difficult. But if you only want to monitor the output of another program, then you may write the output to a file and monitor that, i.e. from Linux with something like "tail -f file".

  No no, all I wanted in reference to Aporia, was to see how I could capture the output of running a program, as when you run the compiler through Aporia and the output is trapped and displayed through Aporia.

  I couldn't get the pocketsphinx example to work anyway so I'll probably see if I can figure out how to just build the CMU Sphinx header in Nim and try to work with it properly instead anyway.

  If I fail, I might offer someone a modest sum of money to do it for me, I'd like to be able to use voice recognition rather than spend time figuring out just how to convert it so I can use it with Nim.

  Take a look at startProcess in osproc http://nim-lang.org/osproc.html#startProcess

  This thread might help as well http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/997
