Hey Guys

I'm trying to train the german acoustic model by using the mfc files under this link

http://www.voxforge.org/de/downloads

When I use the RunAll.pl Script it goes until Mudule 20 / Phase 2: Flat initialize

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

johannes@joker-hpi:~/tutorial4/voxforge_de_sphinx$ perl scripts_pl/RunAll.pl
MODULE: 00 verify training files
O.S. is case sensitive ("A" != "a").
Phones will be treated as case sensitive.
    Phase 1: DICT - Checking to see if the dict and filler dict agrees with the phonelist file.
        Found 3019 words using 41 phones
    Phase 2: DICT - Checking to make sure there are not duplicate entries in the dictionary
    Phase 3: CTL - Check general format; utterance length (must be positive); files exist
    Phase 4: CTL - Checking number of lines in the transcript should match lines in control file
    Phase 5: CTL - Determine amount of training data, see if n_tied_states seems reasonable.
        Total Hours Training: 0.0112428418803419
        This is a small amount of data, no comment at this time
    Phase 6: TRANSCRIPT - Checking that all the words in the transcript are in the dictionary
        Words in dictionary: 3016
        Words in filler dictionary: 3
    Phase 7: TRANSCRIPT - Checking that all the phones in the transcript are in the phonelist, and all phones in the phonelist appear at least once
MODULE: 01 Train LDA transformation

MODULE: 02 Train MLLT transformation

MODULE: 20 Training Context Independent models
    Phase 1: Cleaning up directories:
        accumulator...logs...qmanager...models...
    Phase 2: Flat initialize

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After quite al long time it tells me

---------
FATAL_ERROR: "corpus.c", line 1657: Failed to get the files after 100 retries of getting MFCC(about 300 seconds)

I would really appreciate it.

The distributed MFC files are made by HTK for HTK. To train sphinx model you need to extract MFC files with:

./scripts/make_feats.pl -ctl /etc/voxforge_de_sphinx_train.fileds.

Check the tutorial for more information:
