Hello

I finished doing the samples and the julia script for julius's model's and when running julius i get the following
john@john-VirtualBox:~/voxforge/howto$ julius -input mic -C sample.jconf
STAT: include config: sample.jconf

pass1_best: <s> DIAL EIGHT
sentence1: <s> DIAL ONE </s>
pass1_best: <s> DIAL SIX
sentence1: <s> DIAL TWO </s>
pass1_best: <s> DIAL SIX
sentence1: <s> DIAL THREE </s>
pass1_best: <s> DIAL SIX
sentence1: <s> DIAL FOUR </s>

even though i might say 'cat' or 'dog' to it.

i also noticed it wouldn't let me say the full sentance.

So i'm trying to accomplish

And i did not see:

When the command was submitted.

Anyone know what i might be missing?

i figured out how to enable the debugging and disable quiet mode.

First i said "Dial three" - it worked.

Second i said "Three" - and it spits out dial eight.

Halp.  lol.

i think maybe its the grammar file...  its forcing sentances of specific structure.

http://www.voxforge.org/home/dev/acousticmodels/linux/create/htkjulius/how-to/data-prep/step-1

This link causes a very limited number of valid phrases it would seem.

Logically there'd be a large number of options nessessary, but when looking at the grammar file this spits out you only have 3 or so.

This implies then that my grammar file needs notable upgrading, does anyone have tutorial links for that?

Is there a way, with julius, just to see the phoenetic output it hears regardless of what its trying to map it to?

I think Julius uses the grammar to constrain the search space it uses to determine the most likely series of phonemes it has heard. 

So it does not strictly recognize each phoneme, then find the matching word from the grammar.  Rather, it uses the grammar to simplify how many different combinations of phonemes it has to look at, and then returns the best set.

The answers you seek are here, it's the grammar file:
