Java-based speech recognition system that utilizes cutting-edge technology.
Sphinx-4 is a cutting-edge speech recognition system that runs entirely on the Java programming language. This software resulted from a combined effort from a group of prestigious organizations, such as the Sphinx group at Carnegie Mellon University, Sun Microsystems Laboratories, Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL), and Hewlett Packard (HP). Contributions also came from the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Initially, Sphinx-4 started as a Java programming language port of Sphinx-3. However, this evolved into a superior recognizer, designed to be more flexible than Sphinx-3. Subsequently, Sphinx-4 has become an exceptional platform for speech research.
The CMU Sphinx Group is releasing a set of very stable, world-class speech components. These components help to reduce initial investment costs in research and development for anyone interested in creating speech-using applications. The same components are open to peer review by all researchers in the field and are used for linguistic research ideas.
Although Sphinx is not a final product, users with sufficient expertise can attain outstanding results with the available versions of it. However, inexperienced users will require further help to navigate the system effectively. Therefore the software is more suitable for expert users rather than those having no experience in speech.
