+"Julius" is a high-performance, two-pass large vocabulary continuous speech
+recognition (LVCSR) decoder software for speech-related researchers and
+developers. Based on word N-gram and context-dependent HMM, it can perform
+almost real-time decoding on most current PCs in 60k word dictation task.
+Major search techniques are fully incorporated such as tree lexicon, N-gram
+factoring, cross-word context dependency handling, enveloped beam search,
+Gaussian pruning, Gaussian selection, etc. Besides search efficiency, it
+is also modularized carefully to be independent from model structures, and
+various HMM types are supported such as shared-state triphones and
+tied-mixture models, with any number of mixtures, states, or phones.
+Standard formats are adopted to cope with other free modeling toolkit such
+as HTK, CMU-Cam SLM toolkit, etc.
