Hey. I'm trying to get speech recognition working on Arch Linux ARM on Raspberry Pi 3 model B. I've managed to get Julius running with the sample config. It actually recognizes some of the sample words sometimes if I speak close the mic. I am however overwhelmed by these long and confusing tutorials. Is there any easy way to teach Julius a single english word for starters? Or would you recommend some other software? If so, how would I set it up?

The tutorials are to create your own acoustic model. You can use a current one from the nightly builds.

Best to use more than a single word.
All you need is to create and compile your own grammar file, which create a .dict and .dfa file, then update your julius config to point to your new grammar files.
BTW: There is a Python module for speech recognition that uses CMU Sphinx - might be easier for you to use...

I found that using a program called "pavucontrol" allows you to set up your mic levels.
I put the julius sample that I downloaded from VoxForge (thanks VoxForge) on my desktop which I use a handheld mike.
You do have to observe and study the program and the Sample.jconfig file.
I made some changes to my Sample.jconfig to suit me.
# VoxForge configurations:
-dfa grammar/sample.dfa
-v grammar/sample.dict
-h acoustic_model_files/hmmdefs
-hlist acoustic_model_files/tiedlist
-spmodel "sp" # HMM model name
-multipath
-lv 4000
#-quiet
-input mic
-gprune safe
-iwcd1 max
-iwsppenalty -10.0 # transition penalty for the appended sp models was -70.0
-smpFreq 16000 # sampling rate (Hz)
-iwsp # append a skippable sp model at all word ends
-penalty1 5.0
-penalty2 20.0
-b2 200 # beam width on 2nd pass (#words)
-sb 200.0 # score beam envelope threshold
-n 1
#-nolog
I started studying the sample.dict file in the /grammar folder, I found that I could add more names. I found out what I did to sample.dict also had to be edited in sample.voca. The VoxForgeDict.txt is where I got my added names.
I've tried to setup PocketSphinx many times and am still trying, but Julius seems to be treating me good. I have tried Kaldi and it is OK but heavy on resources.
