    Hi,

    I would like to use "offline" tools to generate a dictionary and language
    model for use with our system.

    We would like to change the dictionary / language model dynamically based on
    the context as we are using a command & control type system.

    We would also like to generate the dictionary & lm dynamically.

    I have downloaded quick_lm.pl which is used by the lmtool, but this does not
    seem to run on my machine, from the source, I cannot see that quick_lm
    generates a dictionary, so I am guessing there are more scripts / tools that
    do this.

    I also looked at the cmuclmtk, which I guess will generate my language model,
    but not my dictionary.
    Ideally I need to generate a concise dictionary from my language model or
    similar.

    Can someone please shed some light on this as the documentation is pretty
    sparse and I can't find anything in the various source directories that seems
    to imply that this is possible.

    Thanks

    Glen

    Hi,
    Thanks, I had read / have been re-reading those tutorials, but my problem is I
    want to start from a corpus of words.

    The tutorials keep referring me to the LM tool if I want to use a corpus of
    words. Also, the quick_lm tool does not seem to be the "complete" tool that
    lmtool provides and I think the downloadable version is out of date, or
    different to the one the tool actually runs - I can't seem to even get it to
    run on my machine, but that may be my problem not the file from here:

    Thanks

    Sorry, maybe I'm living a different world. I doublechecked the link and it
    never mentions a quick_lm. You should not use quick_lm at all.

    Instead the tutorial mentions a pack of handy tools like phonetisaurus, srilm,
    pronounce, mitlm, cmuclmtk. Maybe you'll find it interesting to read.
