    The problem I need to solve is simpler than full speech recognition. I have a
    transcript of the audio, but need to sync it and derive the timing
    information. Can pocketsphinx be used for this? What about if the transcript
    is mostly correct, but the audio sometimes deviates?

    Yes, this issue was discussed on this forum many times. You can search the
    forum for details. You need to build a language model from your reference
    transcription and just decode using it. More advanced technique is to build
    finite-state-machine from reference.

    deviates?

    It's always so, I don't see how should it be different.
