Detailed Description

Forced alignment by word / phoneme / state unit.

This file defines functions for performing forced alignment of recognized words. The forced alignment is implimented in Julius/Julian to get the best matching segmentation of recognized word sequence upon input speech. Word-level, phoneme-level and HMM state-level alignment can be obtained.

Julius/Julian performs the forced alignment as a post-processing of recognition process. Recomputation of Viterbi path on the recognized word sequence toward input speech will be done after the recognition to get better alignment.
