Mark,

is there any chance you could be adding something akin to list of lists.  it would definitely come in handy in organizing and potentially collapsing some Vocola grammars.

I think this has been brought up before and I see

Vocola 2 - Wish List

• Allow variables in alternative sets (e.g. <direction> | foo | bar)

<letterKey> := a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j|k|l|m|n|o|p|q|r|s|t|u|v|w|x|y|z;
<key> := <letterKey> | (Space|Space Bar)=" " | 0..9;

Please^100 (also been dreaming of this for a while)

Splitting up my large lists into sub lists would be incredibly flexible and helpful.

just posting as reference. Probably need to modify these definitions or handling here
https://github.com/mdbridge/Vocola-2/blob/master/src/exec/vcl2py/parse.py#L63

Mark, is this code generated from a lex definition or is the parser hand coded?

Active work is only been done on a python 3 release, which is coming closer, although it takes a lot of time. For various reasons.

You could create an "issue" on https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/Vocola2/issues, with above question. If you are not easy with working on github, I can do this for you.

I think no work will be done on the python 2 releases of Natlink, Unimacro and Vocola.

Mark Lillibridge is very busy, but I am occasionaly in contact with him. I try, with others who were in the dictation-toolbox before me, to bring all relevant speech recognition open source software together.

Natlink will - I hope - get an initial release for python 3 within several weeks. It has been a long and tedious process.

Unimacro and Vocola will follow about the same time or a little later. The Dragonfly people can then also try the new Natlink release.

A new repository is dtactions (dictation-toolbox actions), in which I, with others, try to collaborate on actions, like sending keystrokes to control the monitors of your computer.

So, this takes quite a bit of time, but is going to be very nice, better documented eventually and supported by a wider range of people.

I will announce here when a release is published.

You can get an overview at: https://github.com/dictation-toolbox



Quintijn

I'm not a real programmer, but if and when I run across a problem (others are also experiencing) with Vocola 2 related programming, I'll be here! Thanks for the work Quintijn, and of course Mark, and of course the originator. I use this stuff all day every day.

https://github.com/mdbridge/Vocola-2 remains the source of truth for Vocola 2 code.

I am unfortunately as quintijn says, I am very busy these days. :-(

There will be one more version of Vocola 2 for only Python 2; the version after that should work with Python 3 also.
The current version on branch master should have most of the needed portability fixes to work with Python 3; I believe it still needs some changes to deal with backward incompatible changes in NatLink 3.

FYI, this is absolutely going to be part of Vocola 2.9; see https://www.knowbrainer.com/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=25&threadid=36692&enterthread=y

Funny I just saw this.  I guess everything can be solved by adding another layer right?

I think I saw some Ruby In your repository a while back doing something like this...  I refuse to learn yet another scripting language, but maybe I could write some python to do it
