So I've decided to install and try "pocketsphinx".
On Debian, as root, I did:
apt-get install pocketsphinx
This installs several components: none of which is called "pocketsphinx" per se!
Instead, see the following:
man pocketsphinx_batch
man pocketsphinx_continuous
But the man pages, which contain the same info as running the programs with no args will also provide, just give an alphabetical list of the numerous commandline options available, without providing any examples of simple ways to use the programs in a real situation. There's no option called, e.g., "-infile", and none called "-outfile". Just figuring out how to get data into and out of the program is a major pain, considering the feeble documentation! For this, I've had to wander the corridors of the Internet, picking up suggestions and example invocations from tech-help forums and FAQs in far-flung locations.
