How can we convert .wav file to text by using pocketsphinx?

Question

I installed pocketsphinx in my Linux machine correctly, and now I want to convert an audio file (.wave) to text by using pocketsphinx,how can i do that? is there any clear command and short command to do that? somthing like this command:

  ./src/programs/pocketsphinx_continuous -samprate 8000 -nfft 2048 -adcdev hw:1,0 -lm 2530.lm -dict 2530.dic myvoice.wav

and also how can I do that with using python? Thanks in advance.

I find my answer, pocketsphinx with version 0.8 has an option that can do that:

pocketsphinx_continuous -infile myfile.wav

however file must be in a specific format: 16khz 16bit mono wav file

Anyone experiencing the same issue as Mike on an Ubuntu based machine should try installing pocketsphinx-en-us package with apt install. – Anthony Hiscox May 06 '18 at 01:43

You can convert an mp3 to the correct wave format using: ffmpeg -i yourfile.mp3 -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 myfile.wav – Anthony Hiscox May 06 '18 at 01:47
