Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Sphinx - voice translation - Linux

High Eric,

thank you for that information. I was trying to get a speech recognition 
system running for some time.
I have been using the IBM-line of speech recognition ViaVoice/Nuance under 
Win98 with some success. Now, I planned to use it in VirtualBox.

-Do you have experience with ViaVoice, are there reasons to prefer 
NaturalSpeaking?

-Why did you choose KVM over VirtualBox?

Have a good day

Walther
