Hello! I am new to Julius so sorry if I am asking stupid questions...

I just tried to install Julius according to the Julius book found here:

http://julius.sourceforge.jp/juliusbook/en/desc_install.html#id2523984

I used Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express.

When I am trying to run the simple application I get the error while importing the Sample.jconf file "Error while loading Julius engine"

And that is what appears in the log: STAT: include config: C:\julius\julius-4.1.5\Sample.jconf ERROR: m_chkparam: you should specify at least one LM to run Julius!

Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?

Alex

Looks like you did not include a grammar file or statistical Language Model (the "LM" in your error) in your config file

Yes I understand...

But where I can get this LM and how to include it in the config file?

Thank you for your response, Alex

But where I can get this LM 

http://www.voxforge.org/home/dev/acousticmodels/linux/create/htkjulius/tutorial/data-prep/step-1

and how to include it in the config file?

Though the VoxForge tutorial is dated, there is still good info here (there is no longer a separate 'Julian' executable):

http://www.voxforge.org/home/dev/acousticmodels/linux/create/htkjulius/tutorial/run-julian

Or just try playing with the VoxForge Quickstart

Hi!

Thank you very much for your help!

I got the acoustic models and tried the Quick run (it is working)

However I have still a problem with the sample application.

No it is already accepting the config file, but when I click on Comand->Start I still get an error...

Here is the log:

Sorry, I don't know or have access to Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express.
