To install pip and python 2.7 on the pepper robot:

Connect to the robot using SSH. I used PuTTY, connect to the robot's IP (tap his chest button and he'll say it) and it'll ask you to authenticate. Once you're logged in, enter these commands.

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

python get-pip.py --user

Greeting!
Is it possible for you to write a step-by-step Google Assistant installation guide for my Pepper robot, it would be awesome if you could, so I don't mess everything up(Just in case and so others can use such a piece of useful information)!
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Best regards!

Do you know of a way to not need portaudio or to install it on the robot maybe?

If this was possible, we could run the assistant directly on the robot.

When I run FLASK_APP=webserver.py flask run on my computer, I get this error:

 * Serving Flask app "webserver.py"
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: Do not use the development server in a production environment.
   Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Debug mode: off

Error: While importing "pepper-google-assistant.webserver", an ImportError was raised:

Hello! I'd be interested in how you can perform the speech recognition for the bot.

I see you used the endpoint https://cxl-services.appspot.com/proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fspeech.googleapis.com%2Fv1p1beta1%2Fspeech%3Arecognize

How does this work? Is Google Cloud basically offering their features for free through this proxy?

I also found this proxy, and Googling the link lead me to this line in your file: https://github.com/kenanEkici/pepper-google-assistant/blob/master/webserver.py#L92

I found out that Google uses that proxy for a demo, but that demo requires the completion of a captcha, after which grants your IP to a ≈4h whitelist for using the proxy. Is this consistent with your results?

How are you doing this without completing captchas every 4 hours?

In addition, does this mean that we can create another proxy where there is a Selenium webscraping bot that uses a Buster-like technique to automatically complete the captcha every four hours (I can make that happen)? This means the IP of the proxy will always be whitelisted, so we can allow the entire world to synthesize text through the proxy, without paying for Google Cloud services.

Any contact would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Can you please write step-by-step instruction for this repository?

Hi,

I have the following issue when Pepper tries to play the response from google assistant. Do you know where it comes from or if I missed something ?

Many thanks !
