Java speech recognition like androids

Im looking for a speech recognition software for java that acts more like the android version, in that, instead of having .gram files and stuff, it just returns a string of what was said, and I can act on it. Ive tried using sphinx-4, but using .gram files makes my program a lot harder to do.

The point of a grammar file is to improve the accuracy of what you're getting back. Instead of trying to come up with random strings of english words, you tell it to expect specific input.

That said, sphinx-4 can do ordinary large-dictionary ASR as well. Read the N-Gram part of this tutorial and look at the Transcriber sample that comes with the sphinx source code.

In addition, you can train your own trigram model that will enhance the results you get. (E.g., place more probability on the word "weather" being detected.) This is certainly what Siri does. Apple/Google have a huge corpus of pieces of audio that people speak into their phones, part of which is human transcribed, from which they train both acoustic and linguistic models (so their engines detect things people typically say instead of nonsense).
