I have not looked in a long time... I have trouble with my wrists sometime, so, it would be nice if I had something that would integrate...

Been  a few years since I looked so perhaps it is time for another look.

Hi :)
We have the same thread going on the Accessibility Mailing List now too.
It might be worth looking at it through the Nabble or GMane interfaces.

Over there Eric suggested NaturallySpeaking 13 but had several good
detailed points about issues relating to the whole area of speech and voice
recognition.  Well worth a read if this area interests you but it's about
as long as one of my longer mails.  Interesting though! :)


Wrt Bible, Koran or Torah study programs Linux does have quite a large
range of different packages to help.  For the Bible there are different
programs to cover different versions (such as the King James(?) vs whatever
and whatever else).  Of course each person needs something slightly
different so i can well imagine Andrew's typical hefty research into a
topic of interest didn't find anything to suit him but something there
might suit you, if you are interested.

Regards from
Tom :)

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

Hi Tom,

I spoke with someone who uses Linux and they shared that Sphinx -
voice translation is new so many may not have tried it yet.

Sorry for jumping the gun, so to speak.
It's speech recognition, not voice translation. If I throw you off the
top of the building, I'm going to hear your voice. If I push you near
the edge of the roof, I would hear your speech..

Sphinx has been around for at least 15 years in different forms. It has
been, and probably always will be a system designed for IVR (interactive
voice response, "speak or press one to get ignored by a customer service
representative"). It is not and never will be a system for
general-purpose speech recognition.

The only useful speech recognition packages are NaturallySpeaking with a
not very close runner-up of Windows speech recognition. Google speech
recognition would be in the running if it wasn't bound to a very limited
number of apps with no user accessible grammars. I'm currently
experimenting with running Windows in a KVM virtual machine, running
NaturallySpeaking there and find a way to see the output of
NaturallySpeaking back to the Linux host OS.  If I can get the audio
stream clean enough, it looks like a promising technique for adding
speech recognition to Linux

Now all I need some help to figure out what I don't know about injecting
keystrokes into linux and may be help with fixing up KVM so it passes
audio cleanly under most conditions.
