Hello, Very true, we actually convert the 8k 8bit wav files to 16 bit files and normalize the audio through SoX for sphinx. We spent a couple weeks developing a custom limited vocabulary and we do the recognition in 2 phases, the first phase is the quick and dirty, we then analyze the results of that and if our internal score is high enough to recognize the words we finalize that recording(about 90%), if not we put the non-recognized ones in a second batch to be analyzed at a higher level of analysis by sphinx. we then analyze and score those(about 50% finalize). so we are left with about 95% of our total recordings that finalize correctly with 5% that need to be manually listened to for confirmation. This was a rather complicated process to build with many stumbles along the way. The hardest part is the building of the vocabulary and the tuning of the analysis of the conversions.
Here's the batch launching script, although that is a very small part of the whole that you need for this all to work: http://astguiclient.sourceforge.net/experimental_code/sphinx2_pltest.pl MATT--- -----Original Message----- From: Race Vanderdecken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 9:21 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Opinions of Sphinx? Curious, which codec are you using with Sphinx? The smaller the bandwidth, generally, the harder it is to do recognition. Sphinx4 is a tool built on JAVA (one moment while I clear my throat and spit to get the coffee taste out of my mouth.) Write me offline; I am curious about doing batch reco for several projects, if you don't want to answer here.

We use batch sphinx to analyze recordings at night. We attempted real-time sphinx, but it is way too slow and resource-intensive to use for realtime on Asterisk with more than a couple lines at once(and that's at the poor quality settings). We have not tried sphinx4, but I wouldn't imagine that it would be that much improved in speed over version 3.

That isn't encouraging, but I'm hoping to accomplish some of the same thing. Have you made any progress on your own with this? Let me(us) know...
