    What is -pl_window parameter used for. For the current version of pocketsphinx
    its default value is 0. Is there any range of typical values for pl_window.
    What effect can be expected if its value is changed, that is, does it
    influences speed of recognition or WER.

    Regards

    Phonetic lookahead is a specific technique which is used to speedup decoding
    by reducing the amount of computation. Basically everything is decoded with
    phonetic decoder first and then detailed search is restricted by the results
    of the fast phonetic search. It's also called "Fast match". For details and
    evaluations see

    pl_window specifies lookahead distance in frames. Typical values are from 0
    (don't use lookahead) to 10 (decode 10 frames ahead). Bigger values give
    faster decoding but reduced accuracy.
