OK, I’m a bit worried that there is cross-contamination with your multiple troubleshooting approaches in the code you are working with and showing me (I’ve touched on this concern a couple of times in this discussion so far because it is a common situation after the developer has tried many things), so I think I’d like to try to rule that out before we continue.
Could you put away your existing work and zip it into an archive somewhere for the time being, and then make an entirely new project with the tutorial only using the approach we’ve chosen here (a grammar using stock OpenEars and the German acoustic model), and do it with four words from the start where you would be comfortable sharing all the vocabulary and listening initialization code with me and 100% of the logging output? Then we can continue without worrying about replacing words or old code hanging around. Thanks!
