Installed wordpress

1 Comment »

I just spent a few hours discovering wordpress and some nifty plugins and widgets and installing them on my shiny new blog. The rest of the day was spent rebuilding the new voice rec server whilst writing the installation articles. It was some complex stuff, I know I will need to refer back to them down the track and I hope someone out there finds it useful.

Next is nuance. We negotiated an evaluation of the software from Nuance of Recognizer, NSS & the License Manager, all of which are downloaded from the network area in the Nuance login – which they send you.

At the time of writing I grabbed:

  • NRec-9.0.12-i386-rhel3.tar.gz (Recognizer)
  • NSS-5.1.1-i386-linux.tar.gz (Nuance Speech Server)
  • NSS-Client-5.1.1-i386-linux.tar.gz (Nuance Speech Server Client)
  • NLICMGR-11.4.0c-i386-linux.tar.gz (License Manager)
  • NRec-9.0.0-en-AU.i386-rhel3.tar.gz (Australian Language Pack)
  • NRec-9.0.0-en-US.i386-rhel3.tar.gz (US Language Pack)
  • eval-rec-9.lic (The evaluation license)

Nuance have an MRCPv2 offering called Nuance Speech Server which speaks to Recognizer, so that lead me to unimrcp. It seems to be a fairly new project with a recent adaptation to connect to asterisk.

This was one of the most difficult configurations of software I have ever done and as it took me a number of days to complete this guide so there may be errors and it may not be complete.

First of all, lets do the easy bits – asterisk.
