    Hi dear all, I am new to the forum. The thing is I am relatively stuck using pocketsphinx-android for a class project because of pocketsphinx-android's poor documentation.

    No offense but I have looked everywhere and the closest I have come to is the official tutorial page here:https://cmusphinx.github.io/wiki/tutorialandroid/. It comes with a nice demo which is good. HOWEVER, a lot of the times I found that the functions used in the demo and in the Github repo have absolutely no documentaion for how they should be used whatsoever. The closest I have come to is the pocketsphinx domentation but it's written in C/C++.

    Please let me know if I am not the only one who's confused about this. A lot of the times there are no way to find out where exactly functions used in pocketsphinx-android come from, for e.g. the getHypstr(), or startUtt(). I could find similar names in probably pocketsphinx or sphinx4 but no exact match for where they come from.

    Could you please tell me where to look for a detailed documentation for ALL the functions used in pocketsphinx-android?

    Thank you all very much!

    I am confused how to use it also. Did you fully understand it?

    If I want to use it, for several commands, I only need one gram file, right? Do I need a gram file? Does it work without it?
    What is a dmp file?
    What are the terminologies? language model search? keyword-activation search? Phonetic search?
    In the example, what is switchSearch called for?

    Currently, my app is so poor , it gets confused between 4 simple English words and background non-English words. Currently, it;s completely useless. How do I improve it? With such inadequate documentation , it's very confusing , trying to get this to work properly.
