Currently, I am pretty much the only active developer and maintainer of the MARF project, and I have very little time myself as my PhD seminar is approaching along with the publications I have to submit. I can help with some particular problems or small troubleshooting details, but not a full-scale project at this time. >From the brief description you have posted, it seems a lot more work than a one-day effort. I am also unfamiliar with the "FSM library by Dr. Mohri". MARF has 3-gram language model implementation, but no WFST, HMM, or things like that -- for this is a free-time effort project I am maintaining when I get a chance to get much new things done lately. Specifically, for the true FSM-based speech-to-text recognition engine, you may want to consult CMU Sphinx, which is also hosted on SourceForge. They specifically concentrate on that task, whereas MARF servers a slightly different purpose and currently does not have full blown STT of its own. You are however welcome to contribute to MARF whatever you come up with for the project if you have time and you think it is worthy.
