Does the training process automatically search both spellings to find the best fit?
No.
Or, must the transcript file be coded to the correct pronunciation, (let's assume the subject ennuciated the second pronunciations) eg
You can point proper transcription variant in the transcription file. You can also run forced alignment stage, it will try to select a proper pronunciation, but the accuracy is not guaranteed.

Hello,
I'm doing some work with Sphinxtrain and was wondering, does the tool search alternate phonetic spellings during the training process?
For example, let's assume the transcript is something like "
I REPLIED TO THE EMAIL(name_of_file)".If the dictionary has two alternative phonetic spellings for replied, something like ....
REPLIED R IH P L AY D
REPLIED(1) R IY P L AY D
Does the training process automatically search both spellings to find the best fit?
Or, must the transcript file be coded to the correct pronunciation, (let's assume the subject ennuciated the second pronunciations) eg
"
I REPLIED(1) TO THE(2) EMAIL(name_of_file)".Thanks for any help,
Paul
It is very outdated technology these days.
