    Hi,
    I need something like the hellodigit demo, but that can recognize italian numbers and some other words.
    I am not expert in speech recognition and I could not find any simple info on how to train sphinx 4. Can someone give me a hint on teaching some words to sphinx?

    Thanks

      You need to train database with sphinxtrain. Documentation is here:

      http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinxman/scriptman1.html

      Probably you'd want to submit your speech to Italian database on http://voxforge.org, then model will be trained for you. Although it requires very big amount of audio data.

      I am currently experimenting with PocketSphinx in Italian with a 20-word vocabulary including numbers 0-10 and a few simple commands. This does definitely NOT require much audio data. I am getting pretty good results training with 3 repetitions of the whole vocabulary (60 words, about 1 minute of speech). Of course the training you get is strongly speaker-dependent.
      I didn't know about voxforge.org, anyway my speech data would give little or no contribution to such a database.

        Since there is no real recordings there currently, your voice is very significant :) I'd say every voice is significant.
