Possible error in tutorial?

In the last step there's the following instruction:

Then execute the HDMan command against the entire lexicon file, not just the training dictionnary we have used thus far (that is why we needed to create a phonetically balanced grammar in Step 2):

$HDMan -A -D -T 1 -b sp -n fulllist -g global.ded -l flog dict-tri ../lexicon/voxforge_lexicon

But this introduce some phonemes that are only in the voxforge_lexicon, not in our dict, so there are no audio file for that.

This situation is the cause of an error when do:

 $HHEd -A -D -T 1 -H hmm12/macros -H hmm12/hmmdefs -M hmm13 tree.hed triphones1

ERROR [+2662]  FindProtoModel: no proto for p in hSet

"p" is only an example of phonemes without audio registration.

I've try to use dict instead of  ../lexicon/voxforge_lexicon, and it work correctly.

I'm wrong?

Thanks

Manuel

Hi Manuel,

The VoxForge Lexicon ([   ] VoxForge.tgz 01-Sep-2007 16:48 2.6M ) 

is based on the CMU dictionary ([   ] cmu.tgz 29-Apr-2007 23:53 3.1M).  

Whereas the How-to and Tutorial uses the smaller Switchboard dictionary ([   ] ISIP.tgz 29-Apr-2007 23:53 296k) which has slightly different pronunciations than CMU's dictionary.

I have not had the chance to go back to change the how-to and tutorials to use the update VoxForge Lexicon. 

Ken
