I need to make grammar for julian that recognizes names of few languages as the native speakers say (english, deutsch, espanol etc.) I need to build my own acoustic model of course. So first I wanted to see if I can train him to recognize just one language (I choose Deutsch). I followed the steps in tutorial (automated, with script) and because it says I need more words with same phones, I added more words that contain phones as Deutch does. Those are chow, dutch, toy, annoy. And I recorded 2 wav files containing Deutsch Chow Dutch, and the other Toy Annoy. So I started the script (as it says in tutorial) and everything goes well until step 10. Then it says:

What could be the problem?

 

Thank you!

Hi ZokMcoy,

>I added more words that contain phones as Deutch does.

Did you create new phones for your new Deutch words? 

If you did, this might create problems in Step 10, because the Acoustic Model creation script uses an English language tree.hed file.

For more information on create a tree.hed file for a new language, see the following links:

• Step 10 - Making Tied-State Triphones (from the Tutorial, where you create your Acoustic Model manually)
• nsh's overview of how to create clustered triphone "questions" for Sphinx and HTK for new languages
• Ticket #153 - htk error on step 10, and a related thread in the forums
  
• my post on this Thread on "Error when compiling model" where I discuss Creating clustered triphone "questions"

You might try recognition with your Step 9 acoustic models (hmm12/hmmdef and hmm12/macros).  Step 10 tries to create *unseen* triphones based on the complete *English* dictionary, and the Step 9 Acoustic Models might be good enough for your purposes.

Ok, so I will just use step 9 acoustic model. But there are only hmmdef and macros and what about the list of phones? What list do I use instead of tiedlist generated in last step?

 

Thank you!
