NAME

           mkbinhmmlist
          - convert HMMList file into binary format

SYNOPSIS

       mkbinhmmlist {hmmdefs_file} {HMMList_file} {output_binhmmlist_file}

DESCRIPTION

       mkbinhmmlist converts a HMMList file to binary format. Since the index trees for lookup
       are also stored in the binary format, it will speed up the startup of Julius, namely when
       using big HMMList file.

       For conversion, HMM definition file hmmdefs_file that will be used together at Julius
       needs to be specified. The format of the HMM definition file can be either ascii or Julius
       binary format.

       The output binary file can be used in Julius as the same by "-hlist". The format wil be
       auto-detected by Julius.

       mkbinhmmlist can read gzipped file.

OPTIONS

       hmmdefs_file
          Acoustic HMM definition file, in HMM ascii format or Julius binary format.

       HMMList_file
          Source HMMList file

       output_binhmmlist_file
          Output file, will be overwritten if already exist.

EXAMPLES

       Convert a HMMList file logicalTri into binary format and store to logicalTri.bin:
