and I have this error :

ERROR [+8220] LatticeFromLabels: Word t not defined in dictionary
FATAL ERROR - Terminating program HVite

 

the content of my hmm7 directory is

hmm7/hmmdefs : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/93726840/hmmdefs

hmm7/macros : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/93726840/macros

You just need to read the message

>ERROR [+8220] LatticeFromLabels: Word t not defined in dictionary

It says that word "T" is not defined in a dictionary. Your dictionary is called "dict". If you open this dictionary file in a text editor you will see there is no line with the word "T". It is a problem you are looking for. You need to add a line with the word "T" to the dictionary like it's present in lexicon file already.


Try to read the messages software gives you.

hello thanks for replie,

 

I have already try to add the words T in dict as this :

 

T  [T] t t t t

but same error ...

in the dic file I have some word start with letter T in the word

 

TA              [TA]            t t a sp

TALONS          [TALONS]        t t a l o on s s sp

TEL             [TEL]           t t e e el sp

TENTA           [TENTA]         t t e e en t a sp

TENTACULES      [TENTACULES]    t t e e en t a c u l e e es sp

TERRE           [TERRE]         t t e e e e e r rr e e sp

TOUS            [TOUS]          t t ou o s s s sp

TOUT            [TOUT]          t'u sp

TOUTE           [TOUTE]         t t ou o t e e sp

TOUTES          [TOUTES]        t t ou o t e e es sp

TRAITE          [TRAITE]        t t r a ai ai t e e sp

TRAVAIL         [TRAVAIL]       t t r a v a a ai ai il i sp

TU              [TU]            t t u sp

it why I don't understand. 

this error means : Less the LETTER T or less a word with the letter T ?

another question for construc phoneme I use the command :

espeak -v fr -q -X "T"      

Translate 't'

 22     t (_     []

  1     t        [t]

  5     _) t     [t]

 26     _) t (_  [te]

 

 t'e

 

 

but I m not sure I take the good phomene 

for this example what is the phomene ?

me I have take the collum 2 so t t t t .

it's correct ?

 

Or what other tools I can use to construct phomene (in command line if possible)

thanks a lot

Ok, after some more investigation the problem is different. The thing is that label names are case sensitive. So as it given in the train.scp it tries to load labels with lowercase:

mfcc/sample1.mfc
mfcc/sample2.mfc
mfcc/sample3.mfc
mfcc/sample4.mfc
mfcc/sample5.mfc

However, your words.mlf has uppercase labels for utterances:

#!MLF!#
"*/SAMPLE1.lab"
TOUTE
CETTE


So it fallbacks to the lab files which have phonemes like t and i and not the words. That why it fails to proceed and reports there is no word t in the dictionary.


You need to make sure that all the labels are in lowercase. The easiest way would be to fix words.mlf file to contain lowercase labels:

#!MLF!#
"*/sample1.lab"
TOUTE
CETTE


For the reference check tutorial example

hello,

 

i have do the modification in the file words.mlf

SAMPLE --> sample

and this step it's without error but the nexte step :

HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I aligned.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 3000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm7/macros -H hmm7/hmmdefs -M hmm8 monophones1 

HERest -A -D -T 1 -C config -I aligned.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 3000.0 -S train.scp -H hmm7/macros -H hmm7/hmmdefs -M hmm8 monophones1

>  ERROR [+7332]  CreateInsts: Cannot have Tee models at start or end of transcription

Tee model is the model named "sp". You have "sp" in the end. The reason for this is that in your lexicon SENT-START and SENT-END are not transcribed as sil but as something different. Fix your lexicon and run the training from initialization step

SENT-END        []              sil
SENT-START      []              sil
