I’m planning to use a JSGF, and while reading the specifications for JSGF I came across “tags”.

http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/speech/forDevelopers/JSGF/JSGF.html#15057

It says that “tags are attached to the result object returned by the recognizer to an application”, and I was wondering if this is true when using OpenEars.

This functionality would be greatly helpful in my application (it would reduce the number of service calls from a maximum of 36 to exactly 1 every time).

I found a similar question in another post, but it was never answered. http://www.politepix.com/forums/topic/support-for-jsgf-in-openears/

Hello,

OpenEars just uses Pocketsphinx’s JSGF support, so if there are questions about details of JSGF implementation, the most definitive place to ask is the CMU Sphinx forum. I support JSGF but it isn’t really part of my testbed so I’m limited in how much I can tell you about Pocketsphinx’s implementation.

According to the Sphinx team, this was supposed to be in the 0.7 release last year, but it wasn’t.

Right now, the JSGF has these limitations.
* No semantic or attribute tags
* No include files
* One public grammar per file
* Poor recognition performance and speed, due to some major bugs that cause the FSG that Sphinx generates from the JSGF to be anywhere from 4-10 times as large as it should be.

There also was supposed to be a Pocketsphinx 0.8 at the end of August, 2010.

Not sure why they ended up behind schedule, but all sorts of things can happen in a mostly academic-funded free software project. They do pretty well with teh resources at hand.

Thanks to the both of you, and that’s what I guessed. oh well, I’ll have to see what I can do on my own.
