Automated word insertion in alphabetical order

By Sergey - 4/20/2008 - 2 Replies Hello,
Is there a way to add missing words to the VoxForgeDict in alphabetical order automatically?
If no, I will try to write a script.
Thanks,

Missing Words: Semi-automated approach

By Sergey - 4/20/2008 - 3 Replies Hello Ken,
I was trying to segment a real audio book now, and as expected, it has missing words. Step 2 of the tutorial "Add Missing Words: Semi-automated approach using Festival" suggests running MissingWOrdsCleanup.pl script. When I run it, I get an error:

/a/proj/voxforge$ ./missingwordscleanup.pl
festival -b MissingWordsPhonemes.scm
SIOD ERROR: not a symbol or string : (quote S)
closing a file left open: temp
closing a file left open: MissingWords
closing a file left open: MissingWordsPhonemes.scm
system festival -b MissingWordsPhonemes.scm failed: 65280 at ./missingwordscleanup.pl line 51.
/a/proj/voxforge$

and it creates an empty file MissingWords_out.
What might be wrong ?
Thanks,

Automated Audio Segmentation accuracy

By Sergey S. - 4/17/2008 - 11 Replies

Hi Ken,
On 32bit version of Ubuntu HTK compiled without a problem. Then I followed the tutorial "Automated Audio Segmentation Using Forced Alignment" without a hitch up to step 6. In Audacity I see a considerable misalignement between audio and labels. For example in the phrase "Chapter Four, Part One" the audio corresponding to label "part" contains sounds "part one", and the audio corresponding to label "one" contains only silence. Is it a normal misalignement or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot,
--Sergey
