    Intent to write a tool that can do gender (male, female -- say for adults
    only) / age (infant, teen, adult) / emotion (irritation, fear, rage,
    normal...) - determination / classification of speakers, from recorded /
    streamed voice (not in real-time). Would CMU Sphinx be a good place to start,
    and could be used for such tasks ? Of course, the idea is not to use Sphinx
    as-is, but certain key components.

    The requirement is such that 70% accuracy, and 30% flagged with appropriate
    confidence levels, is quite acceptable.
    If someone here is aware of prior work in this field, especially open-source,
    would appreciate points towards the same.

    Got to admit that this isn't a field of my specialization, so appreciate all
    help.

    CMUSphinx currently doesn't provide any tools for that. You can use MARF for
    example

    Thanks for the pointers, @nshmyrev. LIUM page doesn't open up for me. Will
    check out MARF to being with.

    Finally managed to reach LIUM page. Seems pretty much what I need, and plan to
    play with it extensively. Thanks again.
