Class Recognizer

java.lang.Object

edu.cmu.sphinx.recognizer.Recognizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

ResultProducer, Configurable

public class Recognizer
extends java.lang.Object
implements Configurable, ResultProducer

The Sphinx-4 recognizer. This is the main entry point for Sphinx-4. Typical usage of a recognizer is like so: public void recognizeDigits() { URL digitsConfig = new URL("file:./digits.xml"); ConfigurationManager cm = new ConfigurationManager(digitsConfig); Recognizer sphinxDigitsRecognizer = (Recognizer) cm.lookup("digitsRecognizer"); boolean done = false; Result result; sphinxDigitsRecognizer.allocate(); // echo spoken digits, quit when 'nine' is spoken while (!done) { result = sphinxDigitsRecognizer.recognize(); System.out.println("Result: " + result); done = result.toString().equals("nine"); } sphinxDigitsRecognizer.deallocate(); } Note that some Recognizer methods may throw an IllegalStateException if the recognizer is not in the proper state

Method Detail

newProperties

public void newProperties(PropertySheet ps)
                   throws PropertyException

Description copied from interface: Configurable

This method is called when this configurable component needs to be reconfigured.

Specified by:

newProperties in interface Configurable

Parameters:

ps - a property sheet holding the new data

Throws:

PropertyException - if there is a problem with the properties.

recognize

public Result recognize(java.lang.String referenceText)
                 throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Performs recognition for the given number of input frames, or until a 'final' result is generated. This method should only be called when the recognizer is in the allocated state.

Parameters:

referenceText - what was actually spoken

Returns:

a recognition result

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the recognizer is not in the ALLOCATED state

recognize

public Result recognize()
                 throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Performs recognition for the given number of input frames, or until a 'final' result is generated. This method should only be called when the recognizer is in the allocated state.

Returns:

a recognition result

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the recognizer is not in the ALLOCATED state

allocate

public void allocate()
              throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Allocate the resources needed for the recognizer. Note this method make take some time to complete. This method should only be called when the recognizer is in the deallocated state.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the recognizer is not in the DEALLOCATED state

deallocate

public void deallocate()
                throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Deallocates the recognizer. This method should only be called if the recognizer is in the allocated state.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the recognizer is not in the ALLOCATED state

getState

public Recognizer.State getState()

Retrieves the recognizer state. This method can be called in any state.

Returns:

the recognizer state

resetMonitors

public void resetMonitors()

Resets the monitors monitoring this recognizer

addResultListener

public void addResultListener(ResultListener resultListener)

Adds a result listener to this recognizer. A result listener is called whenever a new result is generated by the recognizer. This method can be called in any state.

Specified by:

addResultListener in interface ResultProducer

Parameters:

resultListener - the listener to add

addStateListener

public void addStateListener(StateListener stateListener)

Adds a status listener to this recognizer. The status listener is called whenever the status of the recognizer changes. This method can be called in any state.

Parameters:

stateListener - the listener to add

removeResultListener

public void removeResultListener(ResultListener resultListener)

Removes a previously added result listener. This method can be called in any state.

Specified by:

removeResultListener in interface ResultProducer

Parameters:

resultListener - the listener to remove

removeStateListener

public void removeStateListener(StateListener stateListener)

Removes a previously added state listener. This method can be called in any state.

Parameters:

stateListener - the state listener to remove

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
