Hello. I m trying to read from an wavfile. Basically the wavfile is supposed to contain digits as well as words. I need to extract only digits from this file. First i tried the same program with microphone..it was working fine(with 20% accuracy), but now as i m trying to provide input from wavfile it returns me NULL.

Here's the .java and .xml file

.java file

import edu.cmu.sphinx.frontend.util.Microphone;

import edu.cmu.sphinx.frontend.util.AudioFileDataSource;

import edu.cmu.sphinx.recognizer.Recognizer;

import edu.cmu.sphinx.result.Result;

import edu.cmu.sphinx.util.props.ConfigurationManager;

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

import java.io.File;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;

import java.net.URL;

 

 

/** A simple Sphinx-4 application that decodes a .WAV file containing connnected-digits audio data. */

public class WavFile 

{

    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException 

{

        URL audioFileURL;

        URL configURL;

        // use defaults that are loaded from the WavFile.jar or use values provided as arguments to main

       // if (args.length == 2) {

        configURL = new File(args[0]).toURI().toURL();

        audioFileURL = new File(args[1]).toURI().toURL();

      //  } else {

            //audioFileURL = WavFile.class.getResource("12345.wav");

           // configURL = WavFile.class.getResource("config.xml");

       // }

 

        System.out.println("Loading Recognizer as defined in '" + configURL.toString() + "'...\n");

        ConfigurationManager cm = new ConfigurationManager(configURL);

 

        // look up the recognizer (which will also lookup all its dependencies

        Recognizer recognizer = (Recognizer) cm.lookup("recognizer");

       // recognizer.allocate();

//Microphone microphone = (Microphone) cm.lookup("microphone");

//System.out.println(microphone);

 

 

            /* allocate the resource necessary for the recognizer */

        recognizer.allocate();

 

            /* the microphone will keep recording until the program exits 

            if (microphone.startRecording()) 

{

                System.out.println("Say any digit(s): e.g. \"two oh oh four\", " +

                         "\"three six five\".");

                while (true) 

{

                    System.out.println

                        ("Start speaking. Press Ctrl-C to quit.\n");*/

 

 

        // configure the audio input for the recognizer

       AudioFileDataSource dataSource = (AudioFileDataSource) cm.lookup("audioFileDataSource");

       dataSource.setAudioFile(audioFileURL, null);

 

        // decode the audio file.

     //   System.out.println("Decoding " + audioFileURL);

       Result result = recognizer.recognize();

 

  System.out.println("The result is:" + result);

 

      //  String str=result.getBestPronunciationResult();

 

                       // if(!str.isEmpty()){

                        //   StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer (dataSource);

// while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {

// System.out.println(st.nextToken());

     

//System.out.println(st);}

//System.out.println("Result: " + (result !=null ? result.getBestPronunciationResult() : null));

       System.out.println("Result: " + (result != null ? result.getBestFinalResultNoFiller() : null));

 

}        

}

Re: Reading Input from wavfiles in sphinx4

>Hello. I m trying to read from an wavfile.

Can you get Sphinx4 to recognize the speech from the wavfile directly (as opposed to doing it from your Java app)?
