-# Blather
+# Kaylee
 
-Blather is a speech recognizer that will run commands when a user speaks preset sentences.
+Kaylee is a somewhat fancy speech recognizer that will run commands and perform
+other functions when a user speaks loosely preset sentences.  It is based on
+[Blather](https://gitlab.com/jezra/blather) by [Jezra](http://www.jezra.net/),
+but adds a lot of features that go beyond the original purpose of Blather.
 
 ## Requirements
 
 1. pocketsphinx
-2. gstreamer-0.10 (and what ever plugin has pocket sphinx support)
-3. gstreamer-0.10 base plugins (required for alsa)
+2. gstreamer-1.0 (and what ever plugin has pocket sphinx support)
+3. gstreamer-1.0 base plugins (required for alsa)
 4. pyside (only required for the Qt based UI)

-6. pyyaml (only required for reading the options file)  
+6. pyyaml (only required for reading the options file)
 
 **Note:** it may also be required to install `pocketsphinx-hmm-en-hub4wsj`
 
 
 ## Usage

+0. Move commands.tmp to ~/.config/blather/commands.conf and fill the file with sentences and command to run
 1. Run Blather.py, this will generate ~/.config/blather/sentences.corpus based on sentences in the 'commands' file
-2. quit blather (there is a good chance it will just segfault)
-3. go to <http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/tools/lmtool.html> and upload the sentences.corpus file
-4. download the resulting XXXX.lm file to the ~/.config/blather/language directory and rename to file to 'lm'
-5. download the resulting XXXX.dic file to the ~/.config/blather/language directory and rename to file to 'dic'
-6. run Blather.py
-    * for Qt GUI, run Blather.py -i q
-    * for Gtk GUI, run Blather.py -i g
-    * to start a UI in 'continuous' listen mode, use the -c flag
-    * to use a microphone other than the system default, use the -m flag
-7. start talking

 **Note:** to start Blather without needing to enter command line options all the time, copy options.yaml.tmp to ~/.config/blather/options.yaml and edit accordingly.
 
 ### Bonus
 
-once the sentences.corpus file has been created, run the language_updater.sh script to automate the process of creating and downloading language files.

 ### Examples

+* To run blather with no UI and using a USB microphone recognized and device 2:

- `./Blather.py -p`  
+* To have blather pass the matched sentence to the executing command:
+ `./Blather.py -p`
 
- 	**explanation:** if the commands.conf contains:  
- **good morning world : example_command.sh**   
- then 3 arguments, 'good', 'morning', and 'world' would get passed to example_command.sh as
