In this tutorial you are doing  the recognition by words.
Is it is possible with the same stages to do the recognition by phoneme,  of course  we change the  grammar and the dictionary
 
I tried to do that but the result (recout.mlf) was only the phoneme "sil" for each sentence in test file.
Is the problem that each sentence is begins and finished by a "sil" !!  And the rate of recognition was 2% !!!!

How to make the decoding with the phoneme in htk?? is there a forum to do that in this site web??

please help me and thans befor
