I’m a little surprised at the lack of options on M5Burner for the M5Paper V1.1. A lot of things aren’t compatible with it. The main focus is on the S3.
Are there firmwares out there, especially e-reader firmware, available from sources other than M5Burner?
I’m entirely new to the world of AI companions.
Has anyone experimented with different LLM options, with StackChan or other devices?
How do they compare with one another?
Are there must-have capabilities you have identified that make you choose one over all the rest?
Not only are we up to firmware version 1.4.1, but I also spotted an update to the StackChan World app. It’s now at version 1.1.6.
I think that when the StackChan app is updated, it will benefit from a few additions.
For example, it would be nice to have StackChan remember that I use Fahrenheit and imperial measurements, rather than Celsius and metric units.
Next, the ability to have StackChan “sleep” while idle, and sit still instead of moving around every few seconds. That should be a good battery saver, as well.
Also, this isn’t so much a setting, as a request. I would love to know how the speech recognition is expecting to hear the word “StackChan”. Specifically, how is it expecting the vowels to be pronounced? I can confirm that with a Philadelphia accent, we pronounce the vowel in “Stack” differently from the vowel in “Chan”. And both of those vowels might be different from the way people in other regions or countries might pronounce the same letter. All short As are not equal, lol. I’d like to know which version(s) of short A StackChan is listening for.
I got two StackChans, so I updated both their names to something other than “Stackchan”. They are now Luna and Terra.
I’m from South Philly. I definitely speak with a regional accent. I didn’t think “Luna” would be a problematic name, but she doesn’t always recognize when I’m addressing her with, “Hey, Luna”. It makes me wonder if my accent is a factor, though I didn’t think that “Luna” has any of the attributes that would be unique to my regional accent.
I do have a workaround, though. If I say, “Hey, StackChan!”, she wakes up and tells me her name is Luna. 🙂
I will have to experiment with Terra, and see if she has any easier of a time recognizing her name. If not, well, at least I know “Hey, StackChan”will get her attention!
Has anyone here run into issues with “Hey, [New Name]!” not being consistently recognized?
