Hi Folks, I have been been searching for the    Python Speech recognition package especially for Mac OS.  I am not happy with the search results. Finally I got  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SpeechRecognition/ (SpeechRecognition works only for the Linux distributions and Windows.) But I made it working for the Mac OS X by using flac.  Following are the instructions to make it run and modified code,  Prerequisite: Install Xcode in Unix Development mode Install Xcode - Command Line tools (Type ' xcode-select —install' in the terminal ) Install Port or Brew ( port    [or]   Brew   ) sudo brew install portaudio  [or]  sudo port install portaudio (for loading mic drivers) sudo pip install pyaudio [or] sudo easy_install install pyaudio (Mic Sources) sudo pip install SpeechRecognition [or] sudo easy_install install SpeechRecognition sudo port install flac Once you have finished w...

The Product Automation in MAC OS X is quite easy if we have enough knowledge in the following languages and tools  Bash Scripts  Apple Scripts  Python especially ATOMac Knowledge in Accessibility. For more understanding of the LDTP: http://download.freedesktop.org/ldtp/doc/ldtp-tutorial.pdf LDTP - Tutorial is written by  Nagappan Alagappan. He has given the clear idea and architecture of the LDTP and its working. I have used the contents from the tutorial for knowledge sharing. Following are the few information and contents from  the LDTP - Tutorial. Few interesting key points, Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) i s aimed at producing high quality test automation framework and cutting-edge tools that can be used to test GNU/Linux Desktop and improve it.  It uses the Accessibility libraries to poke through the application's user interface.  This idea has been extended to Microsoft Windows as Cobra , Mac OS X as ATOMa...

To understand IP address resolution, you need to understand how to decode the IP address and extract the two main identifiers: A network ID (the network bits) A host ID (the bits the system administrator controls locally when assigning IP addresses) Network ID is used to identify the number of  networks and Host ID is used to identify the number of hosts on the local-area network. For now, just keep in mind a few subnetting basics: A  subnet  mask — or  subnet  address — is used by routers to assist in determining the network portion of an IP address from the host portion. The  subnet  mask is a 32-bit value just like the IP address. The binary 1 bits correspond to the network and  subnet  portions of the address. The 0 bits are host representatives. Three standard masks exist for Class A, B, and C networks: Standard Class A   subnet  mask: 255.0.0.0 Standard Class B   subnet  mask...

Network Addressing: Each device on a TCP/IP (IPv4) network uses a unique 4-byte, or 32-bit, decimal IP address for communication and is composed of two distinct parts: a  network address  and a  host address. Each 8 byte is called octet. Example: 172.168.16.100 172 -> belongs class B 172.168. is the network address 16.100 is the host address Routing is done based on the network address. Each octet can have the value between 0-255. Classes of IP Addresses Two of the main ones are designated for the  default route  and  loopback address. The default route address is represented as 0.0.0.0 and is used to simplify the routing information that IP uses. Any route lookup failure defaults back to this route. The loopback address space is 127.0.0.0 and is used for testing and treating a local host as if it were remote to the network.  Class A (0–127): '0'  Class B (128–191):   '10' Class C (192...

A common connection point for the devices  like computer, smartphones in the network  are due to the hubs, switches, repeaters and routers. Networking Components: Hub has multiple ports. When the frame arrives at one port, it broadcast the same message to all other ports. Hub does not check the destination address, it simply broadcast to all available ports. Hubs are less intelligent as it works on physical layer (L1) of OSI model it does not know the MAC address of the ports connected to the network. It lacks in security, so the attacker can sniff the neighbor packets. (Hubs are outdated) Hub can create lot of network traffic and lead to poor response times. Repeater is also similar to hub, but it is used to amplifies the input the signal. When input signal has both desired signal and noise along with it. Repeater regenerates the desired signal and noise signal will be eliminated. Repeater can be used in the situation where there is a long distance in tr...
