Hi Joe,

Thanks for all the audio submissions.

I've finally got a beta version of the daily Acoustic Model build script now running.  Just follow this link to try out the most current Acoustic Model and/or QuickStart that incorporates all the audio you submitted.

BTW, no metrics yet.  Once I get some automated AM testing setup, I plan to start on some automatically generated metrics. 

Ken
