Sphinx 4.0 Framework

October Update
October 20th, 2009Hey everyone,
First of all, Wishing you a very Happy Diwali. 
Just to let you all know that I’m still alive. The first reason that kept me away from updating my blog was Text-to-Speech ( FreeTTS ) and Speech-to-Text ( Sphinx ). I have got really great response from my followers and guests. I have created few sample applications on both of them.
And, the second reason is Exams. The next and the final one for this session is Java Servlet, JSP And Apache Struts on 24th of this month. I’m not really worried about the exam, right now my focus is on SphinxTrain and SphinxDecoder.
That’s it for now, I will be updating again soon.
Finally FreeTTS Worked :)
October 4th, 2009Hello everyone!
After long long research on Speech Synthesizer and working on projects based on Speech Recognizer. Finally I made FreeTTS work using Eclipse SDK. I have tested it on Windows XP, Vista and Mac, Working fine on all the Operating systems. I found it little confusing but once you start working on something, Everything starts to solve out one by one.
About FreeTTS :
FreeTTS is a speech synthesis engine written entirely in the Java(tm) programming language. FreeTTS was written by the Sun Microsystems Laboratories Speech Team and is based on CMU’s Flite engine. FreeTTS also includes a partial JSAPI 1.0
Soon, I will be posting a “FreeTTS with Eclipse” tutorial.
So , Stay tuned!
Speech Recognizer In Java (Tutorial)
September 14th, 2009Hello All,
This is my first video tutorial. This tutorial demonstrates how to make a speech recognizer in java using Sphinx.
Requirements to work according to the tutorial :
1 ) JDK 6 ( J2SE )
2 ) Eclipse SDK ( Im using Eclipse 3.4.0 )
3 ) Sphinx 4.0
4 ) JSAPI ( Included in Sphinx 4.0 )
Tutorial is divided into 3 parts.
Please feel free to post your comments and suggestions on tutorial and help me to improve the quality.
Regards,
Speech Recognition System
September 11th, 2009Hello everyone,
After spending hundred of hours doing RnD on JSAPI, I have successfully created my first demo application that work on voice commands. Its just a simple application that accepts the voice commands and print numbers in a textbox by reading voice tokens. After working on it for so long, the things are pretty clear for me now.
Well, Im using Sphinx 4.0. Its a Speech Recognizer (no synthesizer) written in java. Sphinx is an implementation of Java Speech API (JSAPI) 1.0 and you must have JSAPI installed on your machine. Sphinx has quite different and easy implementation than others like FreeTTS etc. But the major fallback is, Its just recognizer. As wise people said, Something is better than nothing. Its much more than something, And according to me the best for beginners (Ofcourse for experts too).
About Sphinx :
Sphinx-4 is a state-of-the-art speech recognition system written entirely in the Java programming language. It was created via a joint collaboration between the Sphinx group at Carnegie Mellon University, Sun Microsystems Laboratories, Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL), and Hewlett Packard (HP), with contributions from the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Sphinx-4 is a very flexible system capable of performing many different types of recognition tasks. As such, it is difficult to characterize the performance and accuracy of Sphinx-4 with just a few simple numbers such as speed and accuracy. Instead, we regularly run regression tests on Sphinx-4 to determine how it performs under a variety of tasks.
Now, i’m working on a calculator application that works on Voice commands. I’ll be posting step by step tutorial to get sphinx work on windows and a simple example code of it.
