Wall Street Journal "from scratch" training/testing setup
---------------------------------------------------------

To use this template, first create a directory for training, then use
the setup_SphinxTrain.pl script to copy the template to it (please
replace /path/to/SphinxTrain with the actual path to your SphinxTrain
installation):

mkdir /somewhere/WSJ
cd /somewhere/WSJ
/path/to/SphinxTrain/scripts_pl/setup_SphinxTrain.pl -template wsj

This setup relies on having the WSJ0 and WSJ1 corpora, LDC catalog
numbers LDC93S6B and LDC94S13B (only the Sennheiser microphone speech
is used), in a locally accessible directory.  Since this originally
shipped on a number of CDs, to which you may or may not have access,
you should edit the file etc/wsj_files.cfg to point to specific
subdirectories in the corpus.  You will probably need to merge the
contents of multiple CDs into a single directory.  Case of the
filenames should not be important.

You must have the 'sph2pipe' utility from the LDC on your $PATH. We
are not able to distribute due to license restrictions, so you must
obtain it from:

ftp://ftp.ldc.upenn.edu/pub/ldc/misc_sw/sph2pipe_v2.5.tar.gz

In order for the scripts included here to work, you must have Festival
and the Perl scripts and binaries from cmuclmtk in your $PATH.  If you
don't want to install them systemwide, then you can do it like this
(replacing /path/to/cmuclmtk with the full path to wherever the source
tree for it resides):

export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/cmuclmtk/bin:/path/to/cmuclmtk/perl"

or, for those of you who still insist on using csh:

setenv PATH "$PATH:/path/to/cmuclmtk/bin:/path/to/cmuclmtk/perl"

Now, you will be able to generate all the files needed for training.
You need to run (please replace /path/to/SphinxTrain with the actual
path to your SphinxTrain installation):

perl scripts_pl/create_transcripts.pl
perl scripts_pl/extract_features.pl
cp /path/to/SphinxTrain/test/res/cmudict.0.6d etc

Finally, you should be able to do basic training of the WSJ0 (SI-84)
corpus:

perl scripts_pl/RunAll.pl

To do more interesting things you will need to edit etc/sphinx_train.cfg.
