CMU Sphinx4 phoneme dictation

Question

How can I configure sphinx4 to be able to detect only phonemes in a dictation?

I've already read about partial results

"You can control how often the result listener is fired by setting the configuration variable 'featureBlockSize' in the decoder."

But my problem is that there are always a grammar needed, like hello.gram in the helloworld example. I need to be able to detect and recognize phoneme from a continuous speech.

Answer 1

This is what Sphinx has to say about it:

Phoneme Recognition

Basically, You can do it but it is looked down upon.

Answer 2

You can not configure sphinx4 this way. This decoding mode is not supported by sphinx4 yet.
