pocketsphinx mdef convert

[Berker Batur]

Hi,
I want to use pocketsphinx_mdef_convert to convert binary acoustic model of
pocketsphinx to text.
The model is the one that came with pocketsphinx installation (default model-
hub4wsj_sc_8k).
I tried the code : $ pocketsphinx_mdef_convert -bin hub4wsj_sc_8k/mdef
hub4wsj_sc_8k/mdef.txt

but I get the error:
INFO: mdef.c(520): Reading model definition: hub4wsj_sc_8k/mdef
INFO: mdef.c(531): Found byte-order mark BMDF, assuming this is a binary mdef
file
Failed to read text mdef from hub4wsj_sc_8k/mdef

Is there anyone knows what the error means and how to solve it ?

I have also another question,
I have searched converting sphinx3 or pocketsphinx acoustic model to HTK
acoustic model format for a week.
I know there are many posts in the forum, but they didn't come up with a good
solution.
There is 1 sourceforge project named srmc, but I could not use it on Linux
(ubuntu)
Is there any straightforward method to do that conversion ?

Thanks in advance,

Berker.

$ pocketsphinx_mdef_convert -bin hub4wsj_sc_8k/mdef hub4wsj_sc_8k/mdef.txt

-bin means "convert to bin". Use -text instead

Is there any straightforward method to do that conversion ?

No

Thanks a lot.

Actually I tried that before asking, but at that point the errors came because
of
permission problems.

Hi! I have installed pocketsphinx 0.6.1 on my computer, but am unable to find
the pocketsphinx_mdef_convert program. The only file I have in the /doc
folder, pocketsphinx_mdef_convert.1, please help! I need to convert my mdef
into mdef.txt

Hello

pocketsphinx_mdef_convert is part of the pocketsphinx package. Maybe it's some
issue with your distribution, but you can certainly try to compile
pocketsphinx from sources if you need it.
