I intend to build a hight precision IVR for italian language that contain a very small number of words, numbers (less than 100), but precision should be over 95%.
Please, someone guide me with exact steps to follow and to indicate avaible resources for italian language. I whant to contribute with work in this direction.
I think that a better precision can be reached if for each user will be builded his own acustic model (this is not a problem).

You can record required audio yourself. To train the model please follow the tutorial

Also you can segment audiobooks / broadcast recording with existing transcription. You can find Italian phonetic dictionary in Festival Italian voice
