Halle, thanks for the great explanation, that helps a lot to understand what’s going on inside of OpenEars that I didn’t know.

I followed your suggestion and stripped all of my input of punctuation/special characters except for apostrophes. However, I am still getting crashes intermittently.

I’ve turned on OpenEars logging and have set verbosePocketSphinx = YES before the language model generation begins.

This is the log generated when there is no crash:JFK Innauguration – NO CRASH

This is the log generated when there is a crash:JFK Innauguration – CRASH

This is the dump of my input NSArray being bassed to the language model generator: Language model generator input text

I’d appreciate any further insight you can give me into what might be happening here.

Thanks again

Halle, thanks for the quick response. I will try to do some cleanup of the file.

In terms of generating hypothesis, right now I notice that OpenEars will generate a hypothesis with an apostrophe in it for words like “it’s” and “i’d”, which is what I would like it do.

Will the generation of hypothesis that do have punctuation in it be effected if I remove all punctuation from the text passed to the language model generator?

Are apostrophes the only kind of punctuation that OpenEars will generate as part of a hypothesis?

Thanks for your help
Bobby
