New release of Sphinx-4
The Sphinx-4 team has released 1.0 beta2 of Sphinx-4,
which is a state-of-the-art, speaker-independent, continuous speech
recognition system written entirely in the Java programming language.
New features and improvements include:
- new much cleaner and more robust configuration system
- refactored to make use of java5 language features
- new API to setup speech recognizers without any xml
- improved feature extraction (better voice activity detection, many bug-fixes)
- Cleaned up some of the core APIs
- 'include' and 'extends' for configuration files
- better JavaSound support
- fully qualified grammar names in JSGF (Roger Toenz)
support for dictionary addenda in the FastDictionary (Gregg Liming) - added batch tools for measuring performance on NIST corpus with CTL files
- many performance and stability improvements
Oh, sweet! I still use Sphinx 4 when I need to specify a lot of configuration options. I will have to check this out.
