Voice Recognition for Linux

[Chris Hayes]

Thanks for those links Jan. I've decided that I'm gonna try to get one of
the Sphinx voice recognition things working on my computer, so I can at
least see how capable it is, and whether it could anything could be done to
make the installation / training of it easier - so that more people could
try it and eventually get more people involved in it.

I have no idea how realistic that idea is.

One problem to start off with - from what I can see, Sphinx 4 was just a way
of delivering the Sphinx speech recognition to another audience by writing
it in Java. Sphinx 3 is more up to date than Sphinx 2, however it is
customised for batch processing of speech files I think. Eitherway - they
both rely on Sphinxbase. So, basically, I'm interested in real-time speech
recognition, Sphinx 2 hasn't been updated for over 1 year by the looks - but
maybe that doesn't matter if Sphinxbase does most the work?

Okay - basically, I don't know which version of Sphinx to try. And it looks
pretty complicated and I don't really have the time to do this - so I
certainly want to be doing it with the most appropriate edition.



Thanks for the feedback so far,
