RWTH ASR System Installing Instructions

• Get an account at the RBI pool.
  RBI homepage: http://www-rbi.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/
  
  
• The RWTH ASR system will occupy more than 100M disk space, which is more than the
  home directory quota allows, so you will have to compile the system in a temporary directory.
  
  mkdir /var/tmp/${USER}
  
  
• Download and unpack RWTH ASR 0.4 from: http://www-i6.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/rwth-asr
  
  mv rwth-asr-0.4.tar.gz /var/tmp/${USER}
  cd /var/tmp/${USER}
  tar xvfz rwth-asr-0.4.tar.gz
  
  
• Download the RWTH ASR Teaching module from:
  http://www-i6.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/web/Teaching/Lectures/SS10/advasr/sprint/rwth-asr-0.4-teaching.patch.gz
  
  
• Apply the patch:
  
  cd /var/tmp/${USER}/rwth-asr-0.4
  gzip -dc /path-to/rwth-asr-0.4-teaching.patch.gz | patch -p1
  
  
• Compile the software
  
  cd /var/tmp/${USER}/rwth-asr-0.4
  make
  
  
• Download and unpack the recognition setup (for example to your home directory) from:
  http://www-i6.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/web/Teaching/Lectures/SS10/advasr/sprint/recognition-setup.2010-05-18.tar.gz
  
  
• Move the speech recognizer executable to your recognition setup directory and start the recognition process:
  
  mv /var/tmp/${USER}/rwth-asr-0.4/src/Tools/SpeechRecognizer/speech-recognizer.linux-< architecture> -standard path/to/recognition-setup
  ./speech-recognizer.linux- architecture>-standard --config config/recognition.config
