SPHINX_FE(1)

NAME
sphinx_fe - Convert audio files to acoustic feature files

SYNOPSIS
sphinx_fe [ options ]...

DESCRIPTION

This program converts audio files (in either Microsoft WAV, NIST Sphere, or raw format) to acoustic feature files for input to batch-mode speech recognition. The resulting files are also useful for various other things. A list of options follows:

Currently the only kind of features supported are MFCCs (mel-frequency cepstral coefficients). There are numerous options which control the properties of the output features. It is VERY important that you document the specific set of flags used to create any given set of feature files, since this information is NOT recorded in the files themselves, and any mismatch between the parameters used to extract features for recognition and those used to extract features for training will cause recognition to fail.
