[Cmusphinx-devel] Fwd: CMUDICT's or/for/four/fore vs. ought

[James S. <jsa...@gm...>]

CMUDICT has the voiced phone in the words or, for, four, and fore as the
same as in the word ought. But I believe those are completely different
voiced phones, differing in the constriction of the lips, or "roundedness":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBhkYNdIhEU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIeSTGKjV2o

Can you please confirm this? I've noticed it in the Google Search
pronunciation remediation web app you can get by googling [how to pronounce
for].

Please reply to the list to let me know whether or not this makes sense.
There is a marked-up version of Wikipedia 's IPA vowel chart and a
spectrograph of me saying "for, ought, oh ah oh ah oh ah oh" at
https://ibb.co/album/gvvVnV

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Cmusphinx-devel] Forced Phoneme Alignment

[James S. <jsa...@gm...>]

Hi Subham,

There is a new version of the articulatory feature extraction system I
have not released yet, but it is open source thanks to Kevin Lenzo.

Are you able to follow the instructions for the earlier version on
https://github.com/jsalsman/featex ?

For French, you have to get a pronunciation dictionary using the
closest CMUBET/ARPABET equivalents. The diphthong table at
https://bit.ly/zoomphon may be of assistance. Please let me know your
thoughts.

[Cmusphinx-devel] Forced Phoneme Alignment

[Subham S. S. <su...@gm...>]

Hey all,

I’m an incoming Ph.D. student at Cornell University. I want to use
cmusphinx’s forced alignment of phonemes feature in one of my projects. I
have the following 2 questions -

1. The website below shows how to do it for the English Language. I’d like
to know how to adapt it for the French Language?

2. The website below says that *featex* should be preferred for its
improved performance but it’s not obvious how to use it for this task.

Re: [Cmusphinx-devel] Debian Bug#943646: python3-pocketsphinx Upstream

[Nickolay S. <nsh...@gm...>]

Dear Simon

Thank you for keeping track on this.

I admit pocketsphinx-python project exists and contributed a lot to pocketsphinx popularity, I'm grateful to Bamboocher for that.

I also commented on pypi/pocketsphinx misalignment here:
https://github.com/cmusphinx/sphinxbase/issues/62 <https://github.com/cmusphinx/sphinxbase/issues/62>

Overall, there likely will not be any big progress on pocketsphinx soon, I'm very busy with vosk library for android and rpi, so it does not really matter which version you package. Pypi version was last updated 2 years ago too. Given most people use pypi version, you might want to package it I think.

[Cmusphinx-devel] Debian Bug#943646: python3-pocketsphinx Upstream

[simon <de...@ka...>]

Dear Maintainers of CMUSphinx/PocketSphinx

There was a discussion on the Debian bug tracker on which upstream to
use for the python3-pocketsphinx package. As you might have noticed,
there is a fork of the python3 bindings which is used on the PyPi
repositories, containing incompatibilities to the CMUSphinx version.

You can see the discussion here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=943646

I'd like to ask you for input on how to best resolve this issue: Could
someone of your team join the discussion in the Debian bug tracker
(94...@bu...) and give your opinion on how to proceed?

Thank you very much.

Re: [Cmusphinx-devel] I want to publish some acoustic models in Spanish with you

Hola

Basic model is available here

https://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/files/Acoustic%20and%20Language%20Models/Portuguese/

For a language model one could simply use a grammar.

As for better model, I can train it in a couple of weeks if you push me strong enough. I wish I had more time for Portuguese.

Folks,

Does anyone have pointers to Sphinx acoustic models (and LM?) in pt-br?

Marcelo is asking for help, and offering a book he wrote about IoT using
Sphinx (link in the other message in this thread).

I am not aware of any, unfortunately.

Nickolay, continua aprendendo português? :-).

[Cmusphinx-devel] Spoken Language Interest Group j.mp/slig

[James S. <jsa...@gm...>]

I've begun forming a Spoken Language Interest Group at the
IEEE, and with associates and colleagues researching and
teaching language, and speech recognition engineers interested
in pronunciation assessment:

 http://j.mp/slig

We are passing the hat to commission additional data collection
and keep building free pronunciation remediation applications:

 http://wefunder.com/speakclearly

The question of whether intelligibility is a cultural construct is
similar to the question of whether opinions are objective in
aggregate. The phonological control standard for English from
the Common European Framework of Reference states that
intelligibility is more fundamental than accent intonation and
phonological stress.

Please join! We have had nine sign-ups in the first four days since
the Group was announced at the Learning Technology Standards
Committee. I am happy to answer any questions on- or off-list.

Best regards,
Jim

[Cmusphinx-devel] Speaker Identification with CMUSphinx

[adnan a. <adn...@uo...>]

Dear All
I hope you all are doing well in your life.
I have experience with acoustic modeling and I am aware of it, now I want
to work with Speaker Identification but I am not able to analyse, from
where I should start.
I ran the speaker identification example of sphinx4 although I am having
errors. But it seems to me it is more about speaker Identification at java
level not at feature level.

Long story short.
Does CMUSphinx supports speaker identification e.g getting speaker specific
features?
If yes, then from where to start,
If no, then any other suitable tool for this?
Thanking in anticipation

Dear Sir,



For one of our project, we need Speech to Text (audio transcription)
software.

This software should be standalone and all the libraries should be inbuilt
with the option to upgrade manually (server or client).



Below Language support from Audio to Text is required:-



(a)    Mandarin,(b) Cantonese (c) Bhasha Indonesia, (d) Sinhala, (e) Thai,
(f) Arabic,
(g)Persian, (h)Bhasha Malay, U)Divehi, (k) Pashto,
(!)Burmese, (m)Balluchi, (n) Brahui, (p) Vietnamese (q) French.

Manual or auto feed option to be provided and software support for the next
10 years required.

This system expected to be on a standalone system and will not be connected
to internet. Can you help us for the above requirement on paid basis.

You may please send us the feasibility and your charges for this
requirement.

Hello all.
Organisations can now start applying to Google CodeIn program
<https://codein.withgoogle.com/>. It would be very beneficial for CMUSphinx
as a lot of small but long due tasks can be completed by young students and
it also helps the community grow and prosper.
We had tried last year as well, so we already have over 25 tasks in a
Google sheets somewhere. (Found it!
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yK_isyTqbinz4tGryx86tsW9yP4ojutUqsiZJG88TmI/edit?usp=sharing>
)
We should definitely try again and try to do better this time.

Thanks

I’m sorry my work from 20 years ago is not giving you what you need to run basic scripts and improve the resources to advance here.

Cheers,

Kevin

Whether this actually provides information is very questionable, because such data compression is either lossy or lossless, not enhancing. Therefore at best, no information could be added.

There is a significant phonetic distinction between a diphthong and two consecutive phones. In IPA, the diphthongs are indicated by a tie marker. Your suggestion loses information and so is not a good idea for the general dictionary.
