Unless I misunderstood you, you only need Segmentation on word-boundary (by detecting silence gaps) and matching up the segmented word utterances to a training set dictionary (preprocessed and with features extracted). Such word-boundary segmentation for MARF is being worked on as I am writing this. > We are working on the front end of an language independent phoeneme > processing system. If you have to to phonemes, which are components of each word's utterances, the simple word-boundary segmentation is not enough, and especially in a continuous flow of speech data followed by a state-machine based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) and the like. Then you get a good semblence of a full speech-to-text syste. MARF due to lack of man power to work on that doesn't do that. (You are welcome to contribute it though if you are up to it and want to help out ;). As I mentioned before, CMU Sphinx (also hosted on SourceForge.net and is also in Java and also licensed in BSD) does that (HMMs and others), so you can look at that engine. As far as MARF concerned, as earlier discussion in this and similar threads indicate, we may simply adapt Sphinx' code as a set of plug-ins for MARF to do he speech-to-text tasks. Hope that is of any help to you. > Please respond to > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Doing that ;) With a copy to the forum... -- Serguei A.
