Create the Language Classifier

You can use the language identification feature files to create a language classifier file.

To create a language classifier

  1. Create a list that contains the names of all feature files. Include the file extensions but not the file paths.

    Note: The path is excluded so that you can move the data files at a later stage without needing to update the list. This is the case for most lists that IDOL Speech Server uses. You must provide the path in an action parameter when you send an action.

    For more information about IDOL Speech Server's list manager, see Create and Manage Lists.

  2. Send an AddTask action to IDOL Speech Server, and set the following parameters:

    Type The task name. Set to LangIdTrain.
    Context If you are using telephony (8 kHz) data, set Context to 2 for best results.
    DataList

    The list that specifies the feature files.

    DataPath The path to the directory that contains the feature files specified in the DataList.
    Out The name of the language classifier to create.

For example:

http://localhost:13000/action=AddTask&Type=LangIdTrain&DataList=ListManager/FrenchList&DataPath=C:\LangID\Data&Out=FRFR.lcf

This action uses port 13000 to instruct IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to use the feature files specified in the FrenchList list and stored in C:\LangID\Data to create the FRFR.lcf language classifier file.

This action returns a token. You can use the token to:
