Hi.

I contributed some speech sumissions two years ago. Now I wanted to add some more. I followed the advice given for Ubuntu 16.04 (I have Ubuntu 17.10)

http://voxforge.org/home/docs/faq/faq/java-webstart-and-voxforge-speechsubmission-application

but it fails as follows:

Just tried it with Oracle java and Ubuntu 16.04 and it works...which, unfortunately, does not help you any...

Which flavor of Java are you using?

The simplest fix is to download the jar file directly (which is what .jnlp does from the browser...):

$ wget http://read.voxforge1.org/speech/speechrecorder_standalone.jar

and run it in Java:

$ java -jar speechrecorder_standalone.jar

thanks,

Ken

Please note: I am currently working on an HTML5/Javascript version of the speech submission app which should be ready in a couple of weeks...

Hello Ken.

Thanks for your help. Running the downloaded jar file worked perfectly and I recorded and uploaded some more data.

My java version:

openjdk version "1.8.0_151"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.17.10.2-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

Maybe you can add the two commands to the mentioned FAQ entry or we just look forward to the HTML5 version of the tool :-)

Greeting

Sven
