HI dulanie,

>it sometimes recognize words correctly but some times the same words

>are not.

It might be because of the CMN parameter... from this post (One word grammar, always recognized? ):

Your problem[...] is likely the result of running Julian without a CMN parameter. 

When you first start up Julian, you should see a notice like this:

------------- System Info end -------------

        ************************************************************
        * NOTICE: The first input may not be correctly recognized *
        *         since no CMN parameter is available on startup.  *
        ************************************************************

This is telling you that Julian takes the cepstral mean of the last 5 seconds of speech as the initial cepstral mean at the beginning of each input.  So Julian looks at the previous 5 seconds of speech to get an average (cepstral mean) in order to recognize speech.  That is why in Julian's default configuration it never recognizes what you say for the first few utterances, as it tries to figure out this average.

You can get around this by using "-cmnsave filename"  to record a representative average for your environment, and then use "-cmnload filename" and "-cmnnoupdate" to use then cmn you saved and not try to recalculate it on the fly.  Theoretically your confidence scores should start looking reasonable, and you should be able to determine whether a word is in your grammar or not.

HI Dulaine,

The eleventh step tells you how to use Julius/Julian...  I've found that I get better recognition with Julius/Julian than with HTK, and have not used HTK that much.

Hi dulanie,

I am new to speach recognition. Even i have followed all 10 steps do we reallay need the 11th step to get the text content. can't we extract text from speech without using julius ?? .. Please guide me.. thankx in advance..

My aim is to get text content from .wav file without grammar definition file (.dfa and .dict).. Any help is appriciated.

hi mikeljoe

i think iam also in your way.

but, i tried julius and could recognise upto 60 % of the wave file accurately and get its corresponding text.

now, to improve that, i am planning to use htks tools for recognition purpose.

please let me know if you have got any clues with you.
