Testing Mozilla DeepSpeech

These are the steps to test deepspeech 0.4.1 on Linux Ubuntu 18.04:

Install libsox and fake it as libsox2:

$ sudo apt-get install libsox-dev

$ ln -s libsox.so.3.0.0 libsox.so.2

Record your voice:

$ rec -c 1 -r 16000 -b 16 recording.wav

Alternatively download the audio from google translator and convert to wav 16bit 16khz mono:

$ ffmpeg -i the_quick_fox_jump_over_the_lazy_dogs.mp3 -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 recording.wav

Test it:

$ ./deepspeech --model ../deepspeech-0.4.1-models/models/output_graph.pbmm --alphabet ../deepspeech-0.4.1-models/models/alphabet.txt --lm ../deepspeech-0.4.1-models/models/lm.binary --trie ../deepspeech-0.4.1-models/models/trie --audio recording.wav

DeepSpeech: v0.4.1-0-g0e40db6

Using sed command to replace newlines

WordPress is always modificating their software to improve speed and try to bring good things to users. Unfortunately the Block editor is not a good these things, at least not for me.

Recently while editing my post about my list of musics ( https://acassis.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/msicas-mais-ouvidas/ ) it placed the new lines between Music (Musica) and Artist (Cantor).

Then it became:

Music: Blablabla

Artist: Blabla

Music: Blablabla2

Artist: Blabla2

I wanted to restore the old organization:

Music: Blablabla
Artist: Blabla

Music: Blablabla2
Artist: Blabla2

Instead editing it be hand I tried to use VIM text editor, but vim recognizes \n as \0. And although there are some other ways to get it working on vim, Ctrl+J etc didn’t work as expected.

Then I remembered that sed -i could do the trick:

I tested this idea:

sed -i 's/\n\nCantor/\nCantor/g' musics.txt

It didn’t work, then searching in the Internet I found this post:

Then the command became:

sed -i ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n\nCantor/\nCantor/g' musicas.txt

Now the order was restored.
