Hi,
Since I'm interested in using Sphinx2 with speech input from a telephone, rather than a sound card+microphone, I'm quite dependent on the NT release of Sphinx2 becoming available, as I don't know of a Linux telephony-card driver being available for a mainstream low-cost card such as the Dialogic D/41-ESC.
Any news on the expected release date for the NT version of Sphinx2, or is there anything I can do to help in porting the software? I don't want to go duplicating effort here.
Any other thoughts about a telephone interface in general ? Ie better telephone cards to use, etc.?
Thanks,
Charl
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The Win32 subtree is now in the CVS tree here on SourceForge. If you check the contents out of CVS, you should get a buildable OCX if all goes well. This doesn't yet compile using the cygwin tools, but should work under MS Dev Studio.
Regarding telephony, there's there are the QuickNet cards (untested with Sphinx2 so far), and a number of other vendors. We have had some success with a Genter board, but thery are pricier than the QuickNet cards. One would think that anything that could effectively perform voice-over-ip would be a fine candidate as an input stream.
Sphinx2 is still officially "pre-1.0", but we'll be putting a new tarball soon (module release) with the NT sources. Regarding narrowband acoustic models, we'll have to train the generic ones, but we have some telephone models that can be used in the short term. We'll try to get these models out shortly.

There are inexpensive cards that work with Linux available from www.ostel.com. See www.bayonne.cx for an open-source IVR server to drive them.
