    I can't generate the acoustic model for copus an4

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to run the acoustic model for sphinxtrain-5prealpha. I am using MAC OS 10.11.6 version.

    I installed the packages:

    sphinxbase-5prealpha
    sphinxtrain-5prealpha
    pocketsphinx-5prealpha

    according to: https://cmusphinx.github.io/wiki/tutorialam/#configuring-parallel-jobs-to-speedup-the-training

    I am using corpus an4 that I downloaded from: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/databases/an4/
    in the sphere format audio.

    In the fold "sphinxtrain-5prealpha" I am running the commands:

    • sphinxtrain -t an4 setup (OK)
    • cd an4 (OK)
    • sphinxtrain run

    I get it in may output:

    If I change the sphinx_train.cfg file:

    from:

    $CFG_HMM_TYPE = '.cont.'; # Sphinx 4, PocketSphinx

    to:

    CFG_HMM_TYPE = '.semi.'; # PocketSphinx

    I get it:

    in this case I do not get any error in the log files, but the run procedure only generates two folders 000.comp_feat and 05.vector_quantize

    my file "sphinx_train.cfg" can be viewed at:

    I'm a beginner on sphinx, could anyone help me?

      Clone all required packages (sphinxbase, pocketsphinx, sphinxtrain) from github and reinstall them.

    I reinstalled perl and managed to walk a little. Agora eu tenho o seguinte erro:

    did you resolve above issue ? I have same issue
    Failed to open D:/Sphinx/ara/etc/feat.params: No such file or directory at D:\sphinx\sphinxtrain\scrips\lib/SphinxTrain/Util.pm line 652.
