title: Having <s> and </s> as an output from android pocketsphinx
body: <p>We're using pocketsphinx to help us convert .wav files into text files. We don't know why it gives us a strange output as it gives us only <code>&lt;s&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/s&gt;</code> after the conversion. We're using the default dictionary, langauge model and acoustic model given by the cmusphinx community.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code we're using for the conversion:</p>
