Sphinx

[Stefan Bleeck <bleeck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
A group of students of mine are investigating how state of the art
automatic speech recognition systems cope with noisy speech compared
to hearing impaired listeners. They are planning to use Sphinx,
because it's use is well documented and it's open source.
Unfortunately it is a bugger to install. Does anyone has (or know of
someone who has) a running Sphinx version with a BRITISH English
dictionary? We are interested in getting a running program (Windows)
or to collaborate by sending a few hundred wave files over (prize:
your name on a poster).
Background: objective measures of speech intelligibility fail to
analyse contextual information. Hearing impaired people often obtain
higher scores then they should in speech tests. ASR use contextual
information.

thanks,
Stefan
