I installed the julius and julius-voxforge packages on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and now I'm trying to run the julius command on a WAV file called test.wav. I ran this command:

julius -input raw test.wav

but it simply says "Segmentation fault" without any further information. I've been searching the documentation for a few hours now, and I can't find any relevant information.

Not of much help I'm afraid but I Googled julius segmentation fault and found Voice Recognition in Ubuntu which mentions encountering a segmentation fault way down the page in the section titled "Running on YouTube Videos". Maybe you could contact the blogger? – vasa1 Dec 13 '12 at 6:32

Just try pocketsphinx, it works without a problem for me. Voxforge models for pocketsphinx are even more accurate. See for details cmusphinx.sourceforge.net – Nikolay Shmyrev Dec 14 '12 at 9:04
@NikolayShmyrev Any more information? All I see in the repositories are libraries, e.g. for Python. Is there a terminal application built around this that I'm missing? – Ricardo Altamirano Dec 18 '12 at 22:52

Yes, there is pocketsphinx_continuous binary. To decode 16khz 16bit mono wav file use pocketsphinx_continuous -infile file.wav – Nikolay Shmyrev Dec 19 '12 at 6:54
@NikolayShmyrev The command you suggest returns an error of Unknown argument name '-infile', and according to its man page, no such argument exists for the pocketsphinx_continuous binary, which is installed as part of the pocketsphinx_utils package. Any other ideas? – Ricardo Altamirano Jan 20 at 18:37

I was also able to confirm this behaviour in Ubuntu 12.04

Your best course of action would be to file a bug, so that you can get proper support from the developers.

I think that you forgot to call configuration file. Like: -C config

Like this, for example? julius -input raw test.wav -C julius.jconf – Ricardo Altamirano Dec 15 '12 at 21:33
