XCally XCALLY Motion can potentially be integrated with any ASR/TTS system based on MRCP

In the following section you find an example of this kind of integration (Lumenvox).

LumenVox Integration


Configuring UniMRCP to work with LumenVox


Info
UniMRCP is a pre-requisite of this integration: if it is not installed yet, see on this page how to do it.









You need to configure:

  1. The mrcp.conf file in /etc/asterisk/
  2. The res-speech-unimrcp.conf file in /etc/asterisk/
  3. The unimrcpclient.xml in /usr/local/unimrcp/conf/
  4. The lumenvox.xml in /usr/local/unimrcp/conf/client-profiles/


Step 1: Configure res_unimrcp.so module by editing the mrcp.conf file


Here you can find a working mrcp.conf example (to be modified accordingly with your environment):


[general]

default-asr-profile = speech-lumenvox-mrcp1

default-tts-profile = speech-lumenvox-mrcp1


; UniMRCP logging level to appear in Asterisk logs.  Options are:

; EMERGENCY|ALERT|CRITICAL|ERROR|WARNING|NOTICE|INFO|DEBUG -->

log-level = DEBUG

max-connection-count = 100

offer-new-connection = 1

; rx-buffer-size = 1024

; tx-buffer-size = 1024

; request-timeout = 60

rtcp-rx-resolution = 1000


1) Set the server-ipdirective pointing to the Lumenvox Media Server IP.

2) Set the server-port directive tothe Lumenvox Media Server port.

3) Set the rtp-ipdirective pointingto the Xcally XCALLY Motion IP.

Step2: Configure res_speech_unimrcp.so modules by editing the res-speech-unimrcp.conf file


Here you can find a working res-speech-unimrcp.conf example:


[general]

; UniMRCP named profile. Options are:

;unimrcp-profile = uni2      ; UniMRCP MRCPv2 Server

;unimrcp-profile = uni1     ; UniMRCP MRCPv1 Server

;unimrcp-profile = lv2      ; LumenVox MRCPv2 Server

unimrcp-profile = lv1      ; LumenVox MRCPv1 Server

;unimrcp-profile = nss2     ; Nuance MRCPv2 Server

;unimrcp-profile = nss1     ; Nuance MRCPv1 Server


; UniMRCP logging level.  Options are:

; EMERGENCY|ALERT|CRITICAL|ERROR|WARNING|NOTICE|INFO|DEBUG -->

log-level = DEBUG



; Preloaded grammars

[grammars]

;grammar-name = path-to-grammar-file


; MRCPv2 properties (recognizer and generic header fields)

; http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-speechsc-mrcpv2-20#section-9.4

[mrcpv2-properties]

Recognition-Timeout = 20000

No-Input-Timeout = 15000



; MRCPv1 properties (recognizer and generic header fields)

; http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4463#section-8.4

[mrcpv1-properties]

Recognition-Timeout = 20000

No-Input-Timeout = 15000


1)Set theunimrcp-profiledirectiveto lv1 (LumenVox MRCPv1 Server).

Step 3: Configure the MRCP client profile by editing the lumenvox.xml file


Here you can find a working lumenvox.xml example (to be modified accordingly with your environment):

    <!-- More profiles may follow. -->

  </profiles>

</unimrcpclient>


1) Set the <server-ip>X.X.X.X</server-ip>sections pointing to the Lumenvox Media Server IP.

2) Set the <server-port>554</server-port>to the Lumenvox Media Server port.
