NAME

           jcontrol
          - a sample module client written in C

SYNOPSIS

       jcontrol {hostname} [portnum]

DESCRIPTION

       jcontrol is a simple console program to control julius running on other host via network
       API. It can send command to Julius, and receive messages from Julius.

       When invoked, jcontrol tries to connect to Julius running in "module mode" on specified
       hostname. After connection established, jcontrol waits for user commands from standard
       input.

       When user types a command to jcontrol, it will be interpreted and cor- responding API
       command will be sent to Julius. When a message is received from Julius, its content will
       be output to standard output.

       For the details about the API, see the related documents.

OPTIONS

        hostname
          Host name where Julius is runnning in module mode.

        portnum
          port number (default: 10500)

COMMANDS

       jcontrol interprets commands from standard input. Below is a list of all commands.

   Engine control
       pause
          Stop Julius and enter into paused status. In paused status, Julius will not run
          recognition even if speech input occurs. When this command is issued while recognition
          is running, Julius will stop after the recognition has been finished.

       terminate
          Same as pause, but discard the current speech input when received command in the middle
          of recognition process.

       resume
          Restart Julius that has been paused or terminated.

       inputparam arg
          Tell Julius how to deal with speech input in case grammar is changed just when
          recognition is running. Specify one: "TERMINATE", "PAUSE" or "WAIT".

       version
          Tell Julius to send version description string.

       status
          Tell Julius to send the system status (active / sleep)

   Grammar handling
       changegram prefix
          Send a new grammar "prefix.dfa" and "prefix.dict", and tell julius to use it as a new
          grammar. All the current grammars used in the current process of Julius will be deleted
          and replaced to the specifed grammar.

       addgram prefix
          Send a new grammar "prefix.dfa" and "prefix.dict" and add it to the current grammar.

       deletegram gramlist
          Tell Julius to delete existing grammar. The grammar can be specified by either prefix
          name or number ID. The number ID can be determined from the message sent from Julius at
          each time grammar information has changed. When want to delete more than one grammar,
          specify all of them as comma-sparated.

       deactivategram gramlist
          Tell Julius to de-activate a specified grammar. The specified grammar will still be
          kept but will not be used for recognition.

          The target grammar can be specified by either prefix name or number ID. The number ID
          can be determined from the message sent from Julius at each time grammar information
          has changed. When want to delete more than one grammar, specify all of them as
          comma-sparated.

       activategram gramlist
          Tell Julius to activate previously de-activated grammar. The target grammar can be
          specified by either prefix name or number ID. The number ID can be determined from the
          message sent from Julius at each time grammar information has changed. When want to
          delete more than one grammar, specify all of them as comma-sparated.

       addword grammar_name_or_id dictfile
          Add the recognition word entries in the specified dictfile to the specified grammar on
          current process.

       syncgram
          Force synchronize grammar status, like unix command "sync".

   Process management
       Julius-4 supports multi-model recognition nad multi decoding. In this case it is possible
       to control each recognition process, as defined by "-SR" option, from module client.

       In multi decoding mode, the module client holds "current process", and the process
       commands and grammar related commands will be issued toward the current process.

       listprocess
          Tell Julius to send the list of existing recognition process.

       currentprocess procname
          Switch the current process to the process specified by the name.

       shiftprocess
          Rotate the current process. At each call the current process will be changed to the
          next one.

       addprocess jconffile
          Tell Julisu to load a new recognition process into engine. The argument jconffile
          should be a jconf file that contains only one set of LM options and one SR definition.
          Note that the file should be visible on the running Julius, since jcontrol only send
          the path name and Julius actually read the jconf file.

          The new LM and SR process will have the name of the jconffile.

       delprocess procname
          Delete the specified recognition process from the engine.

       deactivateprocess procname
          Tell Julius to temporary stop the specified recognition process. The stopped process
          will not be executed for the input until activated again.

       activateprocess procname
          Tell Julius to activate the temporarily stopped process.

EXAMPLES

       The dump messages from Julius are output to tty with prefix ">" appended to each line.
       Julius can be started in module mode like this:
       jcontrolcan be launched with the host name:
       It will then receive the outputs of Julius and output the raw message to standard out.
       Also, by inputting the commands above to the standard input of jcontrol, it will be sent
       to Julius. See manuals for the specification of module mode.
