NAME

       pocketsphinx_continuous - Run speech recognition in continuous listening mode

SYNOPSIS

       pocketsphinx_continuous -hmm hmmdir -dict dictfile [ options ]...

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  opens the audio device and waits for speech.  When it detects an utterance,
       it performs speech recognition on it.

       -compallsen

              Force backtrace from FSG final state

       -fsgctlfn
              finite state grammar control file

       -fsgusealtpron
              Use alternative pronunciations for FSG

       -fsgusefiller
              (FSG Mode (Mode 2) only) Insert filler words at each state.

       -fwd3g Use trigrams in first pass search

       -fwdflat
              Run forward flat-lexicon search over word lattice (2nd pass)

       -fwdflatbeam
              Beam width applied to every frame in second-pass flat search

       -fwdflatefwid
              Minimum number of end frames for a word to be searched in fwdflat search

       -fwdflatlw
              Language model probability weight for flat lexicon (2nd pass) decoding

       -fwdflatsfwin
              Window of frames in lattice to search for successor words in fwdflat search

       -fwdflatwbeam

       The -hmm and -dict arguments are  always  required.   Either  -lm  or  -fsg  is  required,
       depending on whether you are using a statistical language model or a finite-state grammar.
