I am currently following the tutorial on cmusphinx.sourceforge.net to install pocketsphinx for Windows. Admittedly I only have experience in C#, and I'm not at all familiar with DOS commands.
My problem: When I try to run pocketsphinx_continuous, either through command prompt or by clicking on the icon, a DOS window pops up, quickly scrolls through a bunch of text, then closes before I can read anything on it. I'm not sure what to do.
My system: Windows 7 64-bit
What I've done:
I downloaded off the CMU sourceforge website the following: sphinxbase-5prealpha, pocketsphinx-5prealpha.
I unpacked both folders onto my desktop.
I went into the sphinxbase folder, opened sphinxbase.sln in Visual Studio 2012, then built the project.
I then went into the pocketsphinx folder, opened pocketsphinx.sln in Visual Studio 2012, and built the project.
I copied sphinxbase.dll from sphinxbase/bin/Release/Win32 and pasted it into pocketsphinx/bin
I tried clicking on pocketsphinx_continuous.exe. I get the problem.
I tried running in cmd C:\Users\*my name*\Desktop\pocketsphinx\bin\Release\Win32\pocketsphinx_continuous.exe -inmic yes -hmm model\en-us\en-us -lm model\en-us\en-us.lm.bin -dict model\en-us\cmudict-en-us.dict
. Same problem.
I tried putting sphinxbase.dll in pocketsphinx/bin/Release/Win32. Same problem.
I tried doing all this for the files in pocketsphinx/bin/Release/x64
I tried doing all this for the files in pocketsphinx/bin/Debug/Win32(or x64)
I also tried building the projects in Visual Studio 2015, same problem.
I'm hoping I'm just making some blatant mistake, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
