Hi Manish,

CMU sphinx looks fine for me. Just a couple of quick basic questions here:

a) How do you think you can extend the dictionary for complex
phrases/sentences (as a general view) and How do you think you can
implement an acoustic model without much distortion, ensuring clarity
for indic languages? (Since you have mentioned creation of acoustic
model)
b) What do you think about using a language model like MITLM along with sphinx?

Regards,
