hi mark,
yeah figured that.... which I can make works for what im doing (i think) although full dictation or semi-dictation would be more ideal....
it is possible to write a grammar for Julius / kiku, see the documentation:
http://julius.sourceforge.jp/en_index.php?q=en_grammar.html (using FILLER, in your case, will be useful)
then you just need to change ~/kiku/language/julius.conf
remove -w dictionary add -dfa grammar.dfa (you have to create this file) -v dict (already included with the English language)
this will allow dictation in kiku, but since the English acoustic model is not yet ready for dictation it might not work that well. anyone who have some time and is a native English speaker, please contribute to voxforge:
