Sir Jasper
Dipped in Ubuntu

It just so happens that I came here and now I notice that today is your anniversary... One year since joining Ubuntu.

I came over here to see what I could see and thought I'd say hi. You've been so nice.

Hi,

I thought it made more sense to just send you a short note regarding your interest in speech-to-text for linux. I found a couple of possibilities, but it looks like speech-to-text still needs a lot of work.

Here is a wikipedia page with a few listings that you could check out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_...ition_in_Linux

Also, there is sphinx4, if you don't mind compiling it yourself:

http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/sphinx4/

Sphinx2 is available via Synaptic...

This is on SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/speech2text/

There is also this, which looks promising in that it is intended to be used on the Gnome desktop:

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeVoiceControl/Guadec2008

That's a start, any way.

I won't make a habit of private messaging you, but I thought in this instance you wouldn't mind.

Regards,

Didius
