> My dilemma is to use Sphinx4 - Java based but not created for dictation

You'll be suprized, but Sphinx4 was created exactly for dictation, there is even a project that provides dictation using Sphinx4

Thank you for your reply!

I saw that page before, but looks like it was not updated for long time...

Is this EvalDictator working? Did you try it maybe?

As of Feb 9, 2013 I took the jar file and extracted the dictator.config.xml file to .

executed 

java -jar ./dictator.jar -xMx2000

My java is pretty feeble these days but looks like something has changed for the worse 

Any help would be appreciated -- I shall undertake to make 10 suybmissions to VoxForge

I have been trying to access the EvalDictator. But the site appears to have a different url / address. I always get either an error message or a Forbidden message.

Can you please help me by giving the correct access address of EvalDictator or for that matter any Free Open source Dictation Software on Linux (Ubuntu) for English language along with built in Acoustic and Language Models.

thanks and regards.

Thanks for the Prompt response.

But I could not run as I got the message "Loader Recognize"

We are usuing JAVA JDK 6.0

Is this inability to run EvalDictator due to a mismatch in the JDK Version?

Please clarify.

Thanks
