Hi

for a project in an exhibiton i have to develop an application wich is able to recognize one single word (two sylab, a name). This word will be spoken be visitors: many different voices, different languages, different pronunciation.

I have 20 recordings from different peaple. 

I want to do it with sphinx (and maybe additionally blather).

What are your recommendation for this task:

- used dictonary

- training

- how to avaoid false positives (is negativ trainig possible?)

 

thanks in advance and greetings

Christian Schweingruber

Hello

 

For the competent help on CMUSphinx it's better to use CMUSphinx forums.

For reliable recognition you need 3 syllables, something like "ok google". With 2 syllables detection will not be reliable. You can add something like "ok" to your name

Great, you can use them for testing

Current development pocketsphinx supports keyword spotting mode, which is exactly what you need. Checkout pocketsphinx from trunk and try pocketsphinx_kws. You can specify keyword with -kws option

> What are your recommendation for this task: used dictonary

Our most accurate model Generic en-us should be good.

> training

Not needed

> how to avaoid false positives (is negativ trainig possible?)

You need to tune keyword spotting threshold on your specific keyphrase (-kws_threshold value)
