Sphinx-4: A Flexible Open Source Framework for Speech Recognition
We are gearing up for the 1.0 Beta release of Sphinx-4 a speech recognizer written entirely in the Java programming language. One component of this release is this new paper called Sphinx-4: A Flexible Open Source Framework for Speech Recognition. This paper provides a good overview of the architecture of Sphinx-4, as well as a discussion of the accuracy and speed of the system. The paper makes good reading if you are interested in how a speech recognizer works, or if you are interested in seeing how the Java platform performs for a domain such a speech recognition that requires a large amount of computing power.
