Apparently you did. I was responding to comments/claims of another poster by 
relating my experiences and wishing that PS in FS would preform better.

I'm missing something, What is your point exactly?

I *just* explained that we want to support unimrcp so you can use Prophecy if 
you wish so we get it, there is no need to continue to complain.? I tried to 
tell you that we are short on time and we are trying our best.


We had openmrcp and the devloper discontinued the project.? Now we need to get 
rid of it and switch to unimrcp.

If you recall, you called us for consulting, then spent an hour on the phone 
gathering free information then proceeded to get all kinds of free help on this 
list using the free software we have made available to you.? It's great that 
Prophecy is the only place you want to spend any money and I encourage you to 
do so we can connect you with Voxeo any time.? But what else exactly do you 
want from us?


You may want to factor in that your limited experience and particular 
requirements contribute to your trouble setting everything up so clearly the 
pocketsphinx route is not for you.? (You are only the 2nd person to try it on 
windows for instance)


I keep reading all of your emails and I am trying to understand exactly what 
you want from us.

 "My god" I would LOVE it if this is really the case and would praise 
pocketsphinx (PS) and FS to no end. But my experience has been different.



First, I tried the pizza demo with a soft phone and later by outside phone 
calls to my Linksys 3102 pstn-to-voip gateway. 

Second, I tried these two set-ups again but with Voxeo's Prophecy ASR.



Both are as is and by this I mean there was no training of PocketSphinx just 
running the pizza demo and with Prophecy there is no training because it can't 
be trained.



Prophecy is quite good but the FS/Pocketsphinx pizza demo isn't and I couldn't 
use it at a pizza join. Also, I get a much better experience when calling 
LumenVox and trying their pizza demo.



Now, maybe Prophecy is the type of asr that doesn't require hours of training 
to make it speaker independent. I know that the Sphinx family are the types of 
ASR that do need this.



So, if there is some settings for adaptation of Pocketsphinx for speaker 
independence then are they turned on?

?

How many hours of calls to a business should an owner expect before 
PocketSphinx gets good enough not to scare customers away?



If there are many hours needed then I could see using another ASR in the mean 
time, recording their calls and feeding the audio to Pocketsphinx for training, 
then switching to Pocketspinx once it's "tuned up." At least this way a 
business doesn't have to deal with a "virgin" pocketsphinx.

Maybe for NON english speakers it doesn't do well but for my tests and  

needs it does excellent.  Sphinx isn't ready thats for sure.. but  

PocketSphinx does great.



I have PocketSphinx doing voice dial by name directory on very common  

and simple names.  If you adapt it it can get much better.  But have  

you called AT&T lately?  I have no idea what they use but OMG it  

sucks... you say "NO" it doesn't understand you.. you say your account  

number .. it doesn't understand you... you scream curse words at it  

and it will take you to an agent so they can get you to the right  

place.  Its aweful.  Pocketsphinx has performed better than that on my  

testing.
