It's going to be a lot easier that trying to juggle your own sphinx training sets.<br><br><a href="http://nexiwave.com/index.php/pricing">http://nexiwave.com/index.php/pricing</a><br><br> --pehr<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The communication between FS and the ASR engine works great using MCRP, my concern is with the ASR engine itself. I want to allow the user to speak freely, and get a transcription of what the user said. I don’t want or need to understand what the meaning of the utterances are (definitely the engine doesn’t need to do that), also I don’t need/want to write any complex grammar or SLM to get an interpretation of the spoken phrases, I just want the plain text of what has been said. No decisions will be taken based on what the user said, this information will just be passed to a 3<sup>rd</sup> application.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know if this can be achieved or not without developing grammars (not suitable for open-ended dialogs) or training statistical language models. What I do recall is using Dragon Speak in MS word for dictation, without the need of doing some trtraining or developing grammars. That’s exactly what I’m pursuing: a simple plain text transcription of the spoken words.<u></u><u></u></p>
