http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/movies I wonder why cannot you use movies + their subtitles for training. Subtitles give you the exact time slot for each sentense. http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/movies Wed, 15 May 2013 02:44:13 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/problem-running-hdecode Hello friends, http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/problem-running-hdecode Thu, 24 Jan 2013 22:56:09 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/time-to-update Can we please update the recording process to not use Java. It is 2013 and Java has had so many exploits of late it is no longer recommended to disable it in browsers but actually disabled automatically by Mozilla in Firefox. http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/time-to-update Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:04:32 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/htk-3.4.1-on-cygwin-on-windows-7 I have gone through all the instructions for installing Cygwin and then HTK on it.(As per 2006 Voxforge documentation). When i did first time, i didn't face any problem. But due to some problems, this time, i am facing the following problem: http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/htk-3.4.1-on-cygwin-on-windows-7 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 07:58:29 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/java-is-the-problem Okay, so I made sure that my Java was more up-to-date than the version number required by the page; I updated it further, anyway. http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/java-is-the-problem Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:52:49 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/not-working-properly-on-ubuntu-11 I record my voice OK, but when I press Play, it plays only a small segment of what I said, then it skips to near the end. So I didn't upload it. http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/not-working-properly-on-ubuntu-11 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 15:23:58 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/idioma en el programa no aparece el idioma castellano y las frases se encuentran en ingles es posible podrian agregarlo por favor o alguna idea de como contribuir para dar desarrollo al idioma castellano ya sea traducir las frases o desarrollar una verision para castellano http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/idioma Sat, 03 Dec 2011 01:41:54 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/is-this-a-dead-project The work queue listed on this page has apparently not been processed in well over a year. The Metrics page has not been updated in 5 months. Am I wasting my time submitting recordings? http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/is-this-a-dead-project Sun, 30 Oct 2011 13:35:20 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/add-a-restart-button It would be more forgiving if you added a "restart" button for when the volunteer is uploading the recordings. I had made a set of recordings, then press upload, but needed to refresh my internet connection. The upload was stalled, so I tried to reload the web page, and the result was a previous page that I had used. That's a problem. So to correct it I had to navigate back to your home page, then to the page to submit recordings, and the java applet ddin't see the old recordings anymore, and so I had to re-create them all, a real nusance. http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/add-a-restart-button Sat, 08 Oct 2011 13:45:30 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/login-info It seems a bit strange that every time I log in I have to say that I'm a female, an adult and my accent is British. After all, these details don't change very often . Could they be automatically inserted? http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/login-info Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:28:46 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/bandwidth-usage Hi, I know some people in New Zealand who are interested in contributing, but bandwidth there is very expensive and they're uncertain how much is being used when they upload a submission. Is the audio compressed, losslessly or otherwise, before upload? What's a typical average size? It'd also be a big help if the "results" page would describe how much bandwidth was ultimately used and how much their user has used so far, so they can track their overall usage and the amount their contribution is costing them. This would also be helpful for other bandwidth-starved nations. Thanks! http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/bandwidth-usage Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:35:59 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/voxforge-reading-question John asks: http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/voxforge-reading-question Sun, 20 Mar 2011 23:01:05 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/accesscontrolexception Twice the command below appeared with the bottom row of pixels omitted so I can't be sure that the spaces are not dots and vice versa: - http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/accesscontrolexception Fri, 24 Dec 2010 14:33:24 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/answer For me Firefox was working perfectly.

I am even logged in to my account, perhaps the information could be associated with my account and then passed into the applet. http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/save-info-for-multiple-sessions-java-wiki Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:21:55 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/playback-speed After I record a prompt, it plays back at a very high rate of speed. I'm on a MacBook Pro with a Plantronics Bluetooth headset. I can't imagine these recordings will be of any use to you, but if you have any insight into why it's happening, maybe I can produce something you can use. Sorry not to have been able to help out. It's a most worthy project. http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/playback-speed Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:24:31 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/voxforge-java-speech-applet-and-firefox-3.6 see this post: Voxforge java speech applet and Firefox 3.6 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read/comments2/voxforge-java-speech-applet-and-firefox-3.6 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 14:51:23 -0600 http://www.voxforge.org/home/read2/comments/where-are-the-prompts Could you please give a link to the file listing the prompts?

However, the applet above does not seem to record the prompts I read in.
