The docs available on the web are pretty messy.

1. the docs under the "doc" diretory of sphinx homepage http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/ are mainly about Sphinx I and II. No metioning of later versions at all.

2. there are some docs under the directory of personal webpages of Rita Singh, who leads the development of Sphinx IV currently. SphinxTrain docs are also availabe under it. The link is at: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~rsingh/sphinxman/s3manual.html

3. I have roughly looked throught the files in the toolkit that I have downloaded and extracted, there are a few more doc files in .html format under "doc" subdir. However, the relevant file "s3.htm" contains info. in the style similar to Sonic manual and unfortunately, I cannot find a tutorial this time.

4. After roughly browsing through those docs, I find that the docs are not well organized as HTK, but do contain explainations and examples. So it is not too bad to start.

      Hi all,

      Here are some useful things.

      1. You cannot redistribute HTK.
      2. Tandem vs sphinx: slides related to the paper
      3. A recent comparison of some toolkits
