[lug] Speech Recognition

Is there a decent linux program for voice recognition?  Ideally something 
good enough to use for programing and everything else.  thanks.


 


Chapter 6
Speech Recognition: javax.speech.recognition
 

A speech recognizer is a speech engine that converts speech to text. The javax.speech.recognition package defines the Recognizer interface to support speech recognition plus a set of supporting classes and interfaces. The basic functional capabilities of speech recognizers, some of the uses of speech recognition and some of the limitations of speech recognizers are described in Section 2.2.

As a type of speech engine, much of the functionality of a Recognizer is inherited from the Engine interface in the javax.speech package and from other classes and interfaces in that package. The javax.speech package and generic speech engine functionality are described in Chapter 4.

The Java Speech API is designed to keep simple speech applications simple Þ and to make advanced speech applications possible for non-specialist developers. This chapter covers both the simple and advanced capabilities of the javax.speech.recognition package. Where appropriate, some of the more advanced sections are marked so that you can choose to skip them. We begin with a simple code example, and then review the speech recognition capabilities of the API in more detail through the following sections:

    * "Hello World!": a simple example of speech recognition 

Ours is much better - but it costs $500 to license   ;-)
