Retrying by specifying absolute filenames for filelist.txt and hello.wav produce the same error. Getting the response: # read waveform inputД®rror: adin_file: sampling rate != 16000 (8000)Д®rror: adin_file: error in parsing wav header at hello.wavД®rror: adin_file: failed to read speech data: 'hello.wav' Placing these in the same directory, I ran: julius -input file -filelist filelist.txt -C julian.jconf After reading the example's docs, I tried adapting it to read from a file by creating a file filelist.txt containing the text 'hello.wav' referring to a file of the same name, containing a recording of someone saying 'hello'. The package seems to include slightly better documentation, and even an example written in Python (/usr/share/doc/julius-voxforge/examples/controlapp). I next tried Julius, again from the Ubuntu package, which was surprisingly recent (4.1), considering the version used in Voxforge's quickstart is 3.5. Overall, the lack of sphinx documentation, and the poor quality of existing documentation is driving me nuts. Even worse, the -help docs for each script list about 6 dozen options, and doesn't mention which are required or optional. There's a brief blurb describing sphinx2-demo as running sphinx2-batch, but inspecting the script shows it's actually calling sphinx2-continuous. The audio file used in the demo is in some undocumented '16k' format, which is indirectly referenced through 2 configuration files. Even though the sample sphinx2-demo seemed to work on transcribing a file, there's virtually no documentation on the configuration, so I'm not sure how I'd customize this to read from an arbitrary wav. I first tried Sphinx2, from the Ubuntu package sphinx2-bin. This isn't a knock against Ubuntu, as I can record sound with my mic perfectly using Audacity, but neither system seems able to access my mic, so I'm hoping I can simply their configuration by just reading from a file. I'm focussing on transcribing files, instead of directly processing sound from a mic, because I've given up on expecting projects like these to work with Ubuntu's sound system. I'm developing on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04, whose repos include sphinx2 and julius, as well as voxforge's julius acoustic modal for English.

It achieves a real time factor of 0.15 for the detection and transcription process in a medium-range laptop, meaning that 1В min of speech is processed in roughly 9В s.Can anyone recommend reliable open source software for transcribing English speech in wav files? The two main programs I've researched are Sphinx and Julius, but I've never been able to get either to work, and the documentation with each on transcribing files is sketchy at best. SpeechToText achieves 100% accuracy for detecting voice in unencrypted audio/video files, a word error rate (WER) of 27.2% when transcribing English voice messages by non-native speakers and a WER of 7.80% for the test-clean set of LibriSpeech.

The paper also analyzes the availability, storage location and audio format of voice-recorded content in 14 popular Android applications featuring voice recordings. Although SpeechToText can be run independently, it also provides a Jython-based software module for the well-known Autopsy software. This allows integrating voice content into the regular flow of a digital forensic investigation, with transcribed audio indexed by text search engines. In this paper, we present the open source SpeechToText software, which resorts to state-of-the art Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) modules to detect voice content, and then to transcribe it to text.

This is relevant for digital forensic examinations, as content held in voice format can hold relevant evidence for the investigation. Although text is predominant in digital platforms, voice and video are becoming increasingly important, with communication applications supporting voice messages and videos. Voice is the most natural way for humans to communicate with each other, and more recently, to interact with voice controlled digital machines.
