Is it possible to configure Julius in a way such that only phoneme recognition happens without tokenizing into words?

[j-j-kam]

I'm working on an application and need to simply recognize a stream of sounds, even if they are not tokenized into words. I expect to get a list of all recognized phonemes. Is it possible with Julius?

I think you will need the output from Julius running in server mode, that is, using the -module option. See this help page in particular -module and -outcode (phone sequence).

Yes, you can do it, because I did it with HTK and Julius. Try to picture a word dictionary wich contains one phoneme for one word, like vowels.

@Estalhun sounds promising. thanks. can you expand just a little bit?

Something like this:

' But phoneme based (monophones) recognition - without triphones and LM - is absolutely worst ever.
