New Java Signing Certificate from Thawte
By kmaclean - 7/25/2010

We would like to thank Thawte for the free 2 year code signing certificate they donated to the VoxForge project as part of their Open Source Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Code Signing Certificates program.

This means that "VoxForge" now appears as a "Publisher" on the Java Security Warning when a user submits Speech using the VoxForge speech submission applet:

 

We are very grateful for Thawte's support of the VoxForge project.

Updated 8kHz Sphinx Acoustic Model
By kmaclean - 2/16/2010

Many thanks to Nickolay (nsh) for creating an updated Sphinx 8kHz Acoustic model based on  the VoxForge audio corpus:

[   ] voxforge-en-r0_1_3.tar.gz 16-Feb-2010 13:34 15.3M

From the README file:

This is English Voxforge acoustic model for CMUSphinx decoders -
pocketsphinx and sphinx4 version 0.1.3. It was trained with SphinxTrain.
The process of training is described in SphinxTrain tutorial.

This is 8kHz model, it could be used both for desktop and telephone
recordings.

To setup the files use build.sh script as a base. It should download
required files from Voxforge, setup structure and extract features.
Scripts are located in scripts subfolder.

Testing is performed with sphinx3. Language model for testing is built
from test prompts with SRILM. Result of the testing should be similar to

TOTAL Words: 44025 Correct: 40336 Errors: 4388
TOTAL Percent correct = 91.62% Error = 9.97% Accuracy = 90.03%
TOTAL Insertions: 699 Deletions: 930 Substitutions: 2759

To use this model with pocketsphinx, just provide it's location with
-hmm pocketsphinx option.For information on how to use this model with
sphinx4 see the documentation

http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/sphinx4/doc/UsingSphinxTrainModels.html

Remember that this model uses MLLT and it requires both frontend
modification. You need to use transform with LDA component and you need
to adjust melfilter parameters.
