title: Building openears compatible language model
body: <p>I am doing some development on speech to text and text to speech and I found the <a href="http://www.politepix.com/openears/gettingstarted/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OpenEars</a> API very useful.</p>
  
  <p>The principle of this <a href="http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/SLM_info.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cmu-slm</a> based API is it uses a language model to map the speech listened by the iPhone device. So I decided to find a big English language model to feed the API speech recognizer engine. But I failed to understand the format of the voxfourge english data model to use with OpenEars.</p>
  
  <p>Do anyone have any idea that how can I get the .languagemodel and .dic file for English language to work with OpenEars?</p>
