Hi Peter,

hmmm well, I had the same idea and I tested it! Buuuuut ... you have to
make sure that the english grammar/acousticModel is able to cover all
german noises. E.g. I tried to detect "Burke", "Jan" and "Gerd". I was
able to map Burke successfully in default.dic. Otherwise I had to say
"Böhrki" ...  I did the same with "Jan" - but when I tried to detect Jan
I always got Gerd (with and witout mapping ind default.dic) ... Quite
strange and not really usable for (german) customers.

But some typical software magic happened on my way:
During my tests I had somehow a configuration using the voxforge files
which was working within FS. But I can't reproduce it. I configured
serveral files at the same time and used for reloading "reloadxml" and
"reload mod_pocketsphinx" instead of rebooting FS. When it worked, FS
was able to detect "Burke", "Jan" and "Gerd" correctly without modifying
the dictionary...


Is there any manual about pocketsphinx and its config files, which can
explain how PS is working in more detail? Currently I walk with a
flashlight in the dark ...

regards
Helmut
