<h2><u>What's Around and Where</u></h2>
<p>In the table below, you will find information about the several
versions of the Sphinx decoder. Descriptions in <legacy>gray</legacy>
are older versions, and are not being maintained. Follow the links to

<td>
<ul>
<li>Location: <a href="http://cmusphinx.org">Open source</a>, release available.</li>
<li>Based on Sphinx-3.5. </li>
<li> Here are several new features in Sphinx 3.6 </li>
<ul>
<li> Further speed-up of CIGMMS in the 4 level GMM Computation Schemes (4LGC) </li>
<li> Multiple regression classes an MAP adaptation in SphinxTrain </li>
<li> Better support in using LM in Sphinx 3.X </li>
<li> FSG search is now supported. This is adapted from Sphinx 2. </li>
<li> Support of full triphone search in flat lexicon search </li>
<li> Some support of different character sets other than of
Sphinx 3.X. Models in multiple languages are now tested in
Sphinx 3.X. </li>
</ul>

<td>
<ul>
<li>Location: <a href="http://cmusphinx.org">Open source</a>, release available.</li>
<li>Based on Sphinx-3.4 and Sphinx 3.0. </li>
<li>Live-mode APIs are implemented an thoroughly tested </li>
<li>Speaker adaptation based on single regression class
is implemented. </li>
<li> Four tools of s3.0 are now incorporated in Sphinx 3.x
<ul>
<li><code>align (s3align in 3.0)</code>: Forced alignment</li>
<li><code>allphone (s3allphone in 3.0)</code>: Allphone decoding</li>
<li><code>astar (s3astar in 3.0)</code>: A* search, nbest generation</li>
<li><code>dag (s3dag in 3.0)</code>: Shortest-path search</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> The feature extraction libraries of sphinx 3 is now EXACTLY the same as SphinxTrain</li>
<li> Corresponding changes in SphinxTrian </li>
<li> Two new tools are introduced:
<ul>
<li><code> mllr_solve </code>: compute the regression matrix based on MLLR algorithm. </li>
<li><code> mllr_transform </code>: given a regression matrix, this program converts the mean based on linear transformation.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> The command line interface of all SphinxTrain's tools are now unified.
</li>
