This is a module of my AI powered animatronics pipeline. It's core responsibility is to capture audio input from a microphone and transcribe it to utterances which can be used later on in the pipeline.
To run it, you can use the provided docker compose file but essentially it boils down
to running ./main.py listener. This will kick off a process that will listen on the
microphone and emit messages to an MQTT server as it recognizes phrases.
The messages are currently just the raw text that was received. Later I would like to structure it and also include the timestamps of the words (which I think can be provided by the pocketsphinx output) in case its useful for the output generation.
