Acknowledgements
MOVI ™would not have been possible without the enduring feedback and assistance of
many people. First, we’d like to thank the 334 Kickstarter backers who, through their
nancial contribution, questions and comments allowed us to make this project happen. A
list of the backers is available here: http://www.audeme.com/kickstarter-backers.html
Moreover, we are grateful for the voluntary help by our beta testers Jared Peters from
Origami Robotics and Lars Knipping from University of Technology Berlin.
We are also indebted to the open source community. Without the many people creating
open source tools, we wouldn’t been able to put together MOVI. MOVI uses the following
open source packages:
- The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) project ( http://www.alsa-project.org )
- eSpeak text to speech ( http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ )
- CMU Sphinx and PocketSphinx, Speech Recognition Toolkit
( http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/ )
- The OpenFst Library ( http://www.openfst.org/twiki/bin/view/FST/WebHome )
- The Many-to-Many alignment model ( https://code.google.com/p/m2m-aligner/ )
- The CMUCLMTK Development Toolkit
( http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/cmuclmtkdevelopment )
- The Phonetisaurus package ( https://github.com/AdolfVonKleist/Phonetisaurus )
- The MIT Language Modeling Toolkit ( https://code.google.com/p/mitlm/ )
- SVOX Pico ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/svox/+copyright )
MOVI is booting a standard Linux Kernel using u-boot and is relying on many of the GNU
standard tools and libraries such as GLIBC, bash, etc. We also make extensive use of
Python ( https://www.python.org/ ).
The SDCard shipped with MOVI has a mountable ext3 partition “MOVI Root” which contains
a directory src/ with instructions how to obtain the source code for any of the open source
packages we used, independently of the any license requirement for us to do that.
Ultimately though, we need to thank you, the reader of this document, for you interest and
commitment. Users are what makes a product.
Thank you so much for all your support!
