It seems that <code>model.dict</code> is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_%28set_theory%29" rel="nofollow">intersection</a> of my previous German active vocabulary with 200 German words and the imported English dictionary from Voxforge. So something went wrong. I don't know why the intersection happened. But I think that I should completely delete the following folders: <code>/home/am3msi/.kde/share/apps/simon /home/am3msi/.kde/share/apps/simond</code> After I have done that, I can import the English Voxforge acoustic model again. Or I could try to restore my 200 words German speech model. Or I could start from scratch with my German speech model. I don't know what I will do next.

Now, with the dictation plugin, I get recognition results. It recognizes only DESIGNER and DESIGN, but at least simon recognizes something. That is a start! It is really good to see that it is possible to use the <a href="http://www.repository.voxforge1.org/downloads/Nightly_Builds/AcousticModel-2010-02-03/" rel="nofollow">Voxforge English acoustic model</a> with simon.
