Hi, Piñeiro. I looked a bit into the various options for voice control. Frankly, Simon is the only tool I found with near-term potential to enable people with typing impairments to be productive programmers in Linux. Neither Gnome Voice Control nor VEDICS had interfaces for creating custom voice commands, and Simon had the best recognition accuracy. The only major problem I see for incorporating Simon is it's dependency on the HTK toolkit, which requires registration at their site, and prohibits redistribution of source code: http://www.voxforge.org/home/about/comments/simon-and-htk-licensing So, Simon in it's current form can not be shipped in any Linux distribution, except with static models!
