People involved in human speech research speak very little themselves. Or maybe they actually speak, but refuse to write. Their Markov Chains are extremely well hidden.
There are two groups which are supposed to have great results:
CMU Sphinx
ALIZE
In the first, there is one person who communicates and tries to help newcomers: Our most esteemed Nickolay V. Shmyrev.
That is one more person than the number of useful people (to newcomers) in the ALIZE mailing list and forum.
Has anybody been able to make ALIZE work?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have sent your post to Anthony Larcher (firstname.lastname@univ-lemans.fr), who is not involved in the CMU Sphinx Project but active in the ALIZE project.
His answer is below (he tried to send you this by e-mail before).
Best,

Dear Travis,
somehow I got your email forwarded to me as I am involved in the ALIZE project for years.
I was not aware of your comment as people working in speaker recognition are not all working in speech recognition
and thus cannot be part of the numerous discussion groups in this topic (although we are keeping a close eye on it as you can see).
I would like to let you know that ALIZE has its own mailing list which is very active and its LinkedIn group.
We (and it includes me personally) are constantly answering questions from newcomers
and try to share as much as we can. What would be the point of releasing an open-source toolkit otherwise?
So before posting unpleasant comments on an unrelated forum, feel free to contact us
by any way you find convenient in case you need help or information about how to use ALIZE.
Regards,
Anthony

Let me assure that I have the utmost respect for people involved in open source projects. I have contributed source code to some of the most used applications.
It is also true that "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" :-)
Thanks again.

You're welcome Travis. I should have put you in touch with Anthony earlier.
