Hello,

 

So If I understand, the best way to improve Julian speech recognition is to submit the maximum trainingvoice using voice.

And I update my julius-Quikstart with the new package of the day and Gone on Baby ...

 

Is that all we can do ???

And of course playing with the parameters in juilian.jconf

Regards,

good travel to the admin

Hi royerfa,

If I understand what you are asking ...

Yes, the best way to improve Julian recognition for your speech is for you to add more speech samples. 

If you are looking for a non-GPL solution (something you don't plan to distribute) to improve recognition of your voice, you might look at using Keith Vertanen's HTK acoustic models and adapting these using your speech and VoxForge speech. 

>And I update my julius-Quikstart with the new package of the day and Gone on Baby ...

Yes, as your speech gets added to the VoxForge acoustic model in the nightly build, then Julian should get better at recognizing your speech.

>And of course playing with the parameters in juilian.jconf

That can make a very big difference in recognition performance too!

Ken
