ERROR [+1232] cannot find word in dictionary #63

Closed TaylorWJones closed 7 years ago

TaylorWJones commented 7 years ago

I am getting the following error:

ERROR [+1232] NumParts: Cannot find word 'ali in dictionary FATAL ERROR - Terminating program HLEd

I checked the obvious (\'ali is in the dictonary, and has the necessary backslash, capitalization is fine...). Any suggestions?

The HTK backend (which is where that error is coming from) has a horrible time with word-initial ASCII punctuation, but not in a way that is like, documented, sigh.

Assuming the two strings are a perfect byte-for-byte match (no unicode normalization issues, etc.), the best bet is to do without (or if this is intended to be, say a glottal stop), sorry to say, or to escape it with .

Thanks! I think I just sorted it out by just redoing the whole dictionary and transcripts. Now I'm on to a different error.
