Setting up Pocketsphinx for Python in Windows

Question

Can somebody help me in building pocketsphinx speech recognition in windows. I'm facing difficulty in understanding the instruction provided by sphinx in ths page.

I want to develop a speech controlled computer automation application, and I'm using Python. I don't know how to install sphinx so that I can import it in the Python environment like this:

import pocketsphinx as ps

But can't make out anything from it. I was able to do it easily in Ubuntu using the

sudo apt-get install sphinx*

But, no luck with Windows. Any help would be appreciated.

Windows Solution

Christoph Gohlke kindly added a compiled version of pocketsphinx to his unofficial extension library.

If you are running Python 3.5 (32-bit) then download: "pocketsphinx-0.0.9-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl"

Here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pocketsphinx

Then run: pip3 install "pocketsphinx-0.0.9-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl"
