ROS-PocketSphinx: Getting the probabilities of the words

I use PocketSphinx to do voice recognition. For example I use a language model like this:

Hello
Hi
World
Earth

I say "Hello world", now I want the list of the probabilities/scores of the recognition. Like for the first word "Hello" a possible match could be:

"Hello" 90%
"Hi" 10%
"World" 30%
"Earth" 30%

I don't know how PocketSphinx represents the probabilities. It is only an example. Has someone a clue? I use this example https://github.com/mikeferguson/pocke...

Thanks

You asked the same question on stack overflow and Nikolay had posted an answer there.
So, I am just adding a link to that post so that others may find his apt answer.
Correct answer here

The answer says the following:
"You can retrieve individual segments of hypothesis with iterator:
print 'Best hypothesis segments: ', [(seg.word, seg.prob) for seg in decoder.seg()]

seg.prob contains the confidence score. To have a meaningful confidence score you need to make sure your language model is large enough."

Also, there is an updated version of pocketsphinx available for ROS. You can find it here:

You should use that instead.

Its the "uttid" value in partial_result() and final_result() of recognizer.py, also see Using PocketSphinx with GStreamer and Python

Do you have any explanation why your linked repository should be used instead?

It has updated pocketsphinx features like kws mode, grammar mode etc, has much better wiki, a blog post to explain everything and is being maintained actively
Doesnt need external dependencies like GStreamer
CMUSphinx endorses it: https://github.com/cmusphinx/ros-pock... MaxCharLimitReached

So I guess what that means is that the gstreamer plugin needs some updates?

If that's what you got from all of that, then there's nothing left to say.
I just sometimes wish there were as many active code-maintainers in the community as there are fusspots.
