Another Newbie trying to get sphinx to work

[Glenn Duffy]

Hello everyone.

I know that this has probably been beaten to death, but I'm getting ERROR:
"acmod.c:", line 84: Must specify -mdef of -hmm when I try to run
pocketsphinx_continuous. I'm working in a windows environment. I've tried to
enter the path names of the hidden markov model, language model and
dictionary, but I am unsure of the syntax to use. Here is what I've tried:

C:\Documents and Settings\Glenn\My
Documents\pocketsphinx\bin\Debug>pocketsphinx
_continuous -hmm C:\Documents and Settings\Glenn\My
Documents\pocketsphinx\model
\hmm\en_US\hub4wsj_sc_8k -lm C:\Documents and Settings\Glenn\My
Documents\pocket
sphinx\model\lm\en_US -dict C:\Documents and Settings\Glenn\My
Documents\pockets
phinx\model\lm\en_US

I'm also confused about DMP files and how they are used as the language
models.

Can anyone help me out? At a minimum, I'd like to be pointed to a good
tutorial or readme file for working with pocketsphinx_continuous.

Thanks,
Glenn

The path the the acoustic model should either have no spaces or be in quotes.
Otherwise it tries to peek only a first part of the path. The slashes could be
optionaly direct, not backslashes. You can also pass arguments through a
single file with arguments. For example of the arg file see
win32/pocketsphinx_continuous/pocketsphinx_args
