I'm kinda new to this, so please excuse me if this is an obvious question. I'm trying to build a speech recognition system for a robot I'm helping on. We're planning on using Sphinx as the actual speech recognizer, then send the top ten possibilities or so over to a grammar parser (probably somewhat similar to what's going on in the Communicator project). I'm using the search_get_alt functionality of Sphinx to get the alternative hypotheses; unfortunately, none of the confidence measures seem to be set in the returned struct. In the include files, it seems that the conf variable shouldn't be set; but I would like to have values for the latden and phone_perp variables. Is there some option I need to set or something in order to make it do this, or is there some other way to deduce them? Thanks alot for the help.
