Speech Recognition

[RogerDavis]

Is there anything similar to Dragon Naturally Speaking for Ubuntu?

That is, to accept spoken dictation and commands?

Check this Wikipedia article Speech recognition in Linux, there are a lot of recommendations.

I was unable to get a package to dictate user controls easily (and without spending considerable time) on 12.04 or 12.10, Unity (I believe) will end up making this process more straight forward (in further releases), if you are trying to control operations through voice command. I was however partially successful (in prior versions) only to have package requirement errors upon upgrades, nothing worth writing home about (yet, from me anyhow).

nope. orca needs x11 and lot of things to be installed.

For linux, there is mostly nothing.

You can recognize one, two, ... ten. few words with programs that are not in teh repositories.

For the repositores, there is nothing.
