It was moderately difficult. The biggest item was creating the word dictionary or corpus

Ahh, yes. Now I remember. This wasn't only tedious, it also made the
whole sphinx a fata morgana. I had thought it were a real speech-to-text
solution, not a text sample recognition program. I instantly lost interest,
but I still have it here.  :-)


At one time there was a program accessed on their website to create a dictionary. You fed it a text file of (words) as unary, di, or trigrahs and it created the LM and other phonetic files you could then download and install. That seems to have disappeared from the website or moved and I can't find it.

On my system it would create a text string; e.g. "London Center, Delta 245 at Flight Level three three zero", pass it over the net to a text parser inside an AI controller (I use the word AI loosely here), which would formulate a response, create a text string, something like, "Delta 245, London Center , go ahead with your request" and pass it on to festival.

Nice for demos, but not very practical for any useful work until a smarter controller was designed and built. Just one more item to add to an already long. long list of nice todo's...
