From his e-mail to me: Hi Ken, http://www.voxforge.org/home/forums/other-languages/german/donation-of-pentomino-naming-corpus Wed, 14 May 2008 08:52:24 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/forums/other-languages/german/txt2pho This might be useful for the creation of a German pronunication dictionary: TXT2PHO - a TTS front end for the German inventories of the MBROLA project.

I saw that somebody has already trained a german acoustic model for Sphinx! Great! I was very curious and so I tested it using the HelloWorld Example of Sphinx4. I used small grammars containing digits and/or words like 'langsamer', 'schneller' etc that are listed in the vocabulary of the model. Unfortunately I have the problem, that the program always recognizes the same word regardless on what I say... If I change the grammar, another word is recognized again and again. Has someone else tested it with sphinx4 and has an idea what could be wrong with my configuration?

More information is available, the script itself is here. Please try to use it and inform me of any problems you may have. We should now go on and start to build a dictionary for the words contained in our contributions. Then continue on for other important words. For the moment we will have to review the output of our scripts. Maybe we can find someone interested in grapheme-to-phoneme conversion and improve eSpeak's output or build or own G2P? http://www.voxforge.org/home/forums/other-languages/german/building-a-dictionary-with-the-help-of-espeak Wed, 12 Dec 2007 05:59:32 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/forums/other-languages/german/phoneme-set-discussion Hey, we are currently discussing the design of our phoneme set in http://www.dev.voxforge.org/projects/de/wiki/PhoneSet .
