Making use of pocketsphinx

[Bahgat A]

Hi everyone, I already have pocketsphinx prealpha5 running on my computer without any complaints. The problem is I can't import it into python in order to make use of it. I can only run pocketsphinx from the comand window. I've spent along time trying to make the pocketsphinx module work but it never did for one reason or another. Currently, I'm trying to use the subprocess.Popen or subprocess.check_output functions in python to make it work. I see a lot of people here using python, are you all using that module or are you trying something else? I want to run pocketsphinx in kws mode while making use of the output in python. Any help or tips are appreciated. Thanks!

Search "pocketsphinx python" in google.

Thanks for the insight. I've never heard of that search engine before. It doesn't exist in my dimension, but I think I can create link to your dimension and start using it. Thanks!

So I run this code

import subprocess

yyy=subprocess.check_output(['C:\\sphinx\\pocketsphinx\\bin\\Release\\Win32\\pocketsphinx_continuous.exe','-inmic yes', '-hmm  model\\en-us\\en-us',
                             ' -lm model\\en-us\\en-us.lm.bin', '-dict  model\\en-us\\cmudict-en-us.dict'])
 yyy.wait()

print('returncode:', yyy.returncode)

and I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Project_COBRA\COBRA_BRIGHT.py", line 38, in <module>

Anyone know what an exit status of 1 means? I know it differs from one program to another, but what does it mean for pocketsphinx?

Exit status 1 means error
