Speech::Recognizer::SPX - Perl bindings for PocketSphinx ----------------------------------------------------- David Huggins-Daines <dhuggins@cs.cmu.edu> http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dhuggins January 7, 2008 Installation ------------ This module requires PocketSphinx 0.4.1 or later, available from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/. To build and install PocketSphinx, download sphinxbase and pocketsphinx and untar the packages. Now run: cd sphinxbase-0.3 ./configure make # now become root, or some user with write access to /usr/local make install cd ../pocketsphinx-0.4.1 ./configure make # now become root, or some user with write access to /usr/local make install On GNU/Linux systems, you may need to add /usr/local/lib to the end of your /etc/ld.so.conf file and re-run /sbin/ldconfig as root. Once you have installed PocketSphinx, you can build and install Speech::Recognizer::SPX. To do this, change into the Speech-Recognizer-SPX directory, and run: perl Makefile.PL make make test # this may fail if you have no working audio device make install If any failures are reported by 'make test' that are not audio-related, please report them by e-mail to the address above. This module has only been tested on GNU/Linux. It is likely to work on free 4.4BSD-derived operating systems as well, but I have not tested this. Status on other Unix-like operating systems supported by PocketSphinx, or Microsoft Windows, is unknown. Demos and examples ------------------ Several example programs are included in this distribution: tty-continuous: Basically the same as the 'pocketsphinx_continuous' demo included with the PocketSphinx distribution. turtle-demo: Basically the same as the 'pocketsphinx_demo' program included with the Sphinx-II distribution. server-demo: Demo of using a separate process to do recognition. fe-test: Demo of the feature extraction model. select-cad: Demo of using select() on audio devices in conjunction with Audio::SPX::Continuous.
