[Asterisk-Users] Sphinx2

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

Ya, we do, but it's ugly.   If you'd care to follow along here's what I did:

I set up sphinx2 like at 
http://turnkey-solution.com/asterisk-sphinx.html including the 
sphinx-netserver.pl and sphinx-netclient.pl, but didn't worry about 
their perl snippet at the end. I followed their suggestions regarding 
replacing the default hmm/6k acoustic model.

To make the dictionary, I made a list of people we want included in a 
text file, for example:
PIZZA EXPRESS
SUBWAY
MCDONALDS

and went to the dictionary-creating link referenced in the howto: 
http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/tools/lmtool.html -- uploaded my new text 
file and got back a dictionary file to install as per the howto.  Note 
the instructions regarding modifying sphinx-netserver.pl to use the 
dictionary you just made.  Also note that sphinx-netserver.pl and 
sphinx-netclient.pl have some line-wrap problems and won't run as copied 
from their page without backspacing some lines back together.  For 
example, in sphinx-netserver.pl were two lines that read:

$MAX_CLIENTS_PER_CHILD = 50; #number of clients each child
should process

and the "should process" was part of the prior line's comment and needed 
to be brought up there or deleted entirely.

I then created a file I called number_map that consists of two 
tab-separated columns.  The fist column contains exactly the same data 
as the dictionary file you made earlier, and the second column contains 
the number to dial:
PIZZA EXPRESS<tab>9664638<enter>
SUBWAY<tab>7477827<enter>
etc...

number_map goes in the agi-bin directory along with voice_dir.php, my 
php agi interface to the whole deal.  voice_dir.php refers to sounds 
"hcllc-voicedir-sayname" -- this contains "Please say the name of the 
person you wish to call" and "hcllc-voicedir-name-unconfigured" which 
contains something like "That name is unconfigured at present".

at http://horanappraisals.com/asterisk/voice_dir you'll find number_map 
and voice_dir.php to be both placed into your agi directory.

hope this helps!  Sorry it's so kludgey, there's only a few people in 
our office, so we can be fairly confident everyone knows how to use it 
safely.
