[Freeswitch-users] pocketsphinx

[Helmut Kuper]

Hi,

I try to change pocketsphinx's grammar from default (english) to german.
I found this archive
(http://www.repository.voxforge1.org/downloads/de/Trunk/AcousticModels/), which
contains similar files like those which can be found in
grammar/model/communicator directory.

Unfortunately FS crashed without writing a core file nor logfile enries
as soon as as pizza demo trys to detect speech.

Any Ideas? Maybe someone has already working grammar/model files for
german language?


regards
helmut

Hello Helmut,

I looked at these dic files. Their content (look at all the qq's) is
quite different from the dic files supplied with freeswitch pocketsphinx.
As I remember the CMU dict file format has changed in April 2008.

Best regards
Peter

Yes you have to make sure you use the one that comes with Pocketsphinx
and not the 7.x one you download from the website. They aren't
compatible last I checked.

Maybe there is a converter somewhere?

I was thinking of just enhancing the current dict file for some german
words I need, but did not test it so far. This should be possible
without modifying the underlying grammar.

I would love to hear when you have had any progress on this.

Hi Peter,

hmmm well, I had the same idea and I tested it! Buuuuut ... you have to
make sure that the english grammar/acousticModel is able to cover all
german noises. E.g. I tried to detect "Burke", "Jan" and "Gerd". I was
able to map Burke successfully in default.dic. Otherwise I had to say
"B?hrki" ... I did the same with "Jan" - but when I tried to detect Jan
I always got Gerd (with and witout mapping ind default.dic) ... Quite
strange and not really usable for (german) customers.

But some typical software magic happened on my way:
During my tests I had somehow a configuration using the voxforge files
which was working within FS. But I can't reproduce it. I configured
serveral files at the same time and used for reloading "reloadxml" and
"reload mod_pocketsphinx" instead of rebooting FS. When it worked, FS
was able to detect "Burke", "Jan" and "Gerd" correctly without modifying
the dictionary...


Is there any manual about pocketsphinx and its config files, which can
explain how PS is working in more detail? Currently I walk with a
flashlight in the dark ...

regards
Helmut

Hello Helmut,

the 3 mentioned words are already part of the englisch standard
dictionary, so maybe this causes the problem? You may test with words
which are outside of the standard grammar files or delete the original ones?
So far I have no other documentation available. This part of
PocketSphinx is rather poorly documented. And for the FS part I've only
got some information from this mailing list.

Best regards
Peter

Hello,

I spent a few days working on my problem. I played around with
voxforge's data, read some of the train docs of CMU, and debugged the
sphinxbase, pocketsphinx and mod_pocketsphinx.

Results:
- -I found a way to use the voxforge data as training data for creation of
a german language corpus.

- -I enabled the logging of pocketsphinx to stderr (Dirty, but easy way to
see what went wrong when FS loads grammar, mdef, etc and simply stopped.
Very helpful!

- -I had to add a "dictcase" parameter to pocketsphinx.conf.xml resp
mod_pocketsphinx.c to allow case sensitive dictionaries (like the german
dictionary from voxforge).


FS starts up with german language model and detects the words as
expected. But it's not so reliable as I want to ... I guess this is
caused by the very small amount of training audio data. I used 4000 of
19000 audio files provided by voxforge due to the reason that voyforge's
training fileid-list contains only 4000 files ... I have to create new
fileid-list and transcription-lists containing all audio I have
downloaded from voxforge.


Quite complex the whole thing ...

Helmut,

Your hard work is appreciated. Like Brian said, we'd all be interested in

community.

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

today I put my documentation on FS wiki describing the steps to get a
8kHz sample rate acoustic model basing on voxforge's data for german
language. It's not complete, yet.

Hello Helmut,

I looked at these dic files. Their content (look at all the qq's) is
quite different from the dic files supplied with freeswitch pocketsphinx.
As I remember the CMU dict file format has changed in April 2008.

as soon as as pizza demo trys to detect speech.
Any Ideas? Maybe someone has already working grammar/model files for
german language?
