I am trying the tutorial example in the book.

When i do the step for Realigning the training data

HVite -A -D -T 1 -l '*' -o SWT -b SENT-END -C config -H hmm7/macros -H
hmm7/hmmdefs -i aligned.mlf -m -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -y lab -a -I
words.mlf -S train.scp dict monophones1

I get the following error

Error[+5013]  Read String : String too long

What might be the problem here?

I followed the procedure here for the same error, on dict and monophones1 file
