Description:
The Hidden Markov Model Toolkit (HTK) is a portable toolkit for building and 
manipulating hidden Markov models. HTK is primarily used for speech recognition 
research although it has been used for numerous other applications including 
research into speech synthesis, character recognition and DNA sequencing. HTK 
is in use at hundreds of sites worldwide.

HTK consists of a set of library modules and tools available in C source
form. The tools provide sophisticated facilities for speech analysis,
HMM training, testing and results analysis. The software supports HMMs
using both continuous density mixture Gaussians and discrete
distributions and can be used to build complex HMM systems. The HTK
release contains extensive documentation and examples.

HTK was originally developed at the Machine Intelligence Laboratory
(formerly known as the Speech Vision and Robotics Group) of the
Cambridge University Engineering Department (CUED) where it has been
used to build CUED's large vocabulary speech recognition systems (see
CUED HTK LVR). In 1993 Entropic Research Laboratory Inc. acquired the
rights to sell HTK and the development of HTK was fully transferred to
Entropic in 1995 when the Entropic Cambridge Research Laboratory Ltd was
established. HTK was sold by Entropic until 1999 when Microsoft bought
Entropic. Microsoft has now licensed HTK back to CUED and is providing
support so that CUED can redistribute HTK and provide development
support via the HTK3 web site. See History of HTK for more details.

NOTE NOTE NOTE - Microsoft
While Microsoft retains the copyright to the original HTK code, everybody is 
encouraged to make changes to the source code and contribute them for inclusion 
in HTK3.

This looks like a project worth flagging "To Stay Well Away From !!"
