    Hi,

    I need simple speech recognition system for our robot. Dictionary will countain about 20 words. I want to record this 20 words with microphone and system needs to recognize only this words.

    It's similiar to speech recognition in mobile phones which is used for dialing. Firstly you record your voice and enter phone number. Then you can speak what you recorded and mobile phone automatically dials entered number.

    How can I use sphinx for this purposes?
    Or any suggestions to build that system?

    p.s. I need SR in Turkmen language.

      Ok, I tried it with simple dictionary and yes it is better than nothing, at least enough for my first SR project.

      Then, How can I listen the phone set and make up my own dictionary? I can guess some of them but some are really hard to guess. For example, I have no idea how AXR, ZH sounds like.

      I think it is a healthy thing to get more recordings for any languages. Though do remember in some countries, privacy and the fair use of recording is a concern. Make sure you consult laws before you proceed. -a

      no, no, i think i couldn't explain what I needed with my poor english.

      We need speech recognition to control our robot. It needs to do what I said. Commands are simple sentences with one or two words.

      I don't want to record voice with my robot, just I want to record my own voice and teach it to robot.

      Then, whenever I say something, robot will recognize what I said and does what I wanted.

      We want to make our robot voice-controllable and I'm sure it's legal to build this robot in my country.

      people, I need your help! let me repeat my question:

        one quick hack:
        Try to use existing English phone set to mimic Turkish. I try this in the pass to mimic Cantonese with English. It is definitely not the best but it is better than nothing.

        Other than that, you need to collect your own data. This will give you some hard time.

        Of course, building a voice recognition system is probably legal in every country now. What I was talking about is the issue of collecting data. Well, let's just say I digress then.
