Hi Νίκος,<br><br>So I just created a short enpointing article that outlines the basic mechanism. Antoine hopefully will correct any of my misconceptions as he's the author of the mechanism. <br><br><a href="http://wiki.speech.cs.cmu.edu/olympus/index.php/Endpointing">http://wiki.speech.cs.cmu.edu/olympus/index.php/Endpointing</a><br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I set-up an Olympus microphone-based
application that uses PocketSphinx for ASR.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">My problem is that when I make my request, in case
no recognition result/concept is produced (for any reason, eg fault of
recognition engine, no definition in lexicon, no definition in grammar etc), the
application still waits for an input utterance.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The behaviour that I want my application to have,
is to <u>proceed with a corresponding prompt either there is a valid
recognition result or not.</u></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">So, my question is, <b>how can I define an
"endpoint" to user utterance that correspond to the duration of final
pause/silense of user utterance (eg 1000msec)</b> ; So, when a user speaks
to the microphone, after eg 1000 msec pause of the end of its
utterance, recording process is stopped and DM continues, regardless of having
or not recognition/concept result.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I tried out to find something in Spinxvad
component, but I didn't find the way I could implement/configure the
above..</font></div>
