Extracting phonemes from audio (speech) files

Question

I am looking for a toolkit/library that will allow me to extract phonemes from audio files. I see on the CMU Sphinx website that sphinx3 can be used to output phonemes, however I haven't been able to successfully build it on my windows box.

Apart from the library, what is the best way to go about building your own?

Answer 1

check out allosaurus, it has a great api.

Answer 2

CMUSphinx (http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net) is indeed the most convenient way to do that. If you have issues building it, it's probably easier to download prebuilt version or ask for help on CMUSphinx forums.
