hello, i was just wondering does anyone know of a voice recognition program start tutorial? or maybe tips on where to look?:popcorn:

I'm not an expert in that field, but the thing I know is that voice recognition, just like OCR, generally uses neural networks.

Granted, it doesn't help much but maybe it can put you on the tracks? :)

ViaVoice from IBM is the only active project that I am aware of http://www.research.ibm.com/hlt/html/desktop_recognition.html Try "speech recognition" at Sourceforge.net. There have been a lot of people doing a lot of different things for at least 20 years, so expect a bunch of hits.

Sphinx (http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/html/cmusphinx.php) is another recognition engine. It is open source. There are several versions that differ in the required time of processing and the level of accuracy.

Actually, Bayesian belief networks are all the rage in the field...

Hmm I'll take your word on it.

As far as I can tell after a quick glance at the Wikipedia article, they sure look a lot like neural networks to me except that they insist on calculating truth probabilities. But this kind of things is too mathematical for me to understand it correctly anyway... My relationship with maths has always been something along the lines: "give me a math formula, I'll write the corresponding code, but don't expect me to understand it" :oops:

"give me a math formula, I'll write the corresponding code, but don't expect me to understand it" lol same here :P

trough all the links in between you should end up basicly in

after all the links...Oh, you don't like math, pure you :)
http://www.voxforge.org/ with it's links probably will be more of a help.
