I just downloaded the obviously recently released program simon-juliusd-0.1-alpha2.exe. Before running the program, I checked it with ClamWin (I always do that before I install new software). It is OK, so I will install this program on my computer. The program is licensed under the GPL. On my computer, the program simon.exe was installed on the location “H:\Program Files\simon\simon-0.1-alpha-2.”
Here is a screenshot:
But now, it is beginning to get complicated. Take a look at the next screenshot:
So to use this program successfully, there are several additional programs needed. I need the HTK toolkit, and Julius. And there are further components necessary. I think I will stop the installation now. Or should I continue? At the moment, I am not sure. I think, that I will hit the next button.
I won’t publish a screenshot from the next step. But it is about HTK programs HDman, HCopy, and several other programs. I think (but I am not sure) that it is necessary to tell Simon the path on which location those programs are installed. A few months ago, I made some first steps with HTK and Julius, but everything was pretty complicated. At the moment, I am reading a few pages in the HTK book, everything is very abstract. And it takes a lot of time to get involved. But it is possible! You just have to stay focused.
