.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Run speech recognition over a list of utterances in batchmode.  A list
of arguments follows:
.\" ### ARGUMENTS ###
.PP
The
.B \-hmm
and
.B \-dict
arguments are always required.  Either
.B \-lm
or
.B \-fsg
is required, depending on whether you are using a statistical language
model or a finite-state grammar.  To do batchmode recognition, you
will need to specify a control file, using
.B \-ctl
This is a simple text file containing one entry per line.  Each entry
is the name of an input file relative to the
.B \-cepdir
directory, and without the filename extension (which is given in the
.B \-cepext
argument).
.PP
If you are using acoustic feature files as input (see
.BR sphinx_fe (1)
for information on how to generate these), you can also specify a subpart
of a file, using the following format:
.PP
.RS
.B FILENAME START\-FRAME END\-FRAME UTTERANCE-ID
