Perfect. You're unique!!!!

Now I try to create my italian language model.

Someone can give some advice about how many audio record to train the model?

Tks

Manuel 

... after many hours I understand that my model can't be create if I don't modify the question of tree.hed, but I have no idea how to do it.

Now I try to create english acoustic model, but always I have very, very, very high Word Error Rate, but I don't understand why. I train the model with over than 100 audio files...

Bye

Manuel 

First of all, why not use ready sphinx setup from voxforge. Sphinx can build tree automatically.

Second, if you have good book on italian phonetics, i can build a questions for you.

Third, just share your files, we'll try to help.

Hi nsh,

Can Sphinx automatically build questions that can be used with HTK?

sure, but handmade questions are better. Current questions are in model_architecture subdir in svn.

Hi, i'm italian too. I'm studying at University of Bologna, and I'm a programmer. I'm interest to make an acoustic model with italian phonemes, but reading tutorial I not understand how to make it.

The problem is how to create a statistical representation of phonemes.

Tks
