I'm trying to figure out how sphinx 3 deals with filler words. I trained an acoustic model including a filler word to catch human noise. This word is in my filler dictionary that I use with FSG grammars. I expected this word to be in some of the recognized sentences, hopefully where there are human noise or inserted words, but it never appears.
Apparently, sphinx 3 requires the 3 filler words <sil> <s> and </s> to be in the filler dictionary, but only the word <sil> appears to indicate silence in my test results.
How does sphinx 3 deal with the words in the filler dictionary? Is the behavior different with fsg and statistical language models?
Thanks!
Sylvain
