There is work underway, however, to develop high-quality speech recognition software for Linux. It's mostly centred on the KDE project at the moment - a tool called Simon - but there are other, related efforts. Linux Weekly News published an informative article about this a while ago. Apparently, work is underway to collect large samples of spoken text that can be used as training for a high-quality recognizer. I would suggest contacting the relevant developers to find out how your project can cooperate with theirs. The end result, if successful, would be that you could drop the Windows dependency - not necessarily in the near future, but definitely as soon as the quality of the open recognizers reaches levels acceptable to you. I can try to track down the article if you have any problems locating the right references or the appropriate people to contact. _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list gnome-accessibility-devel@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
