Hi All, The current system uses the open source library pocketsphinx ( http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/) - I believe this is the current "best" open source voice recognition tool. Unfortunately this library is not able to perform dictation with an acceptable level of accuracy. I don't know of an

Non-dev comment. I very very rarely ever use voice recognition, and never use dictation. I only use it on rare occasion when I can't remember how to spell a word, and my best guess has spell check all confused. Plus with all the NSA and other privacy issues coming up, I'm working harder than ev

a standalone GPS has no network connection, period. Smartphone GPS apps use the connection to help you avoid traffic and the likes. Data itself is not inherently evil, and can be very useful. Printing directions leaves them with as much information as using a smartphone GPS. using a standalone Garm

[Ubuntu-phone] Emergency call

Hi, Maybe it's only me missing it but; phones with touch are quite hard to use if you not are able to look at the screen or the screen is harmed in any way. In an emergency situation both may be the case (broken glasses, you have to call from your pocket etc.) Therefore I think there should be so

how would you click the SOS signal? and how would the power button distinguish between a normal click and an emergency click? it is important to be able to contact emergency response teams, but not accidentally doing it is even more important, otherwise it will be a "boy who cries wolf" situation.

Hello, I like the idea of being able to make a emergency call, but being a paranoid person that always seems to accidently set these things off, I would like to point out a few downsides of it. The one problem I see with this is that the emergency combo would likely be too hard to remember and act

I really like the idea of emergency call... but since Ubuntu doesn't use hardware buttons it would be very trivial to trigger it. What do we have ? Power button , Vol UP and DOWN. Pressing all at the same time is not friendly when in an emergency case. Think of the case you don't want no one to no

Thank you Zisu :-) Printing directions out does not give the exact times and coordinates of your every move. With devices that come with 32GB of storage now, not having on device maps is unacceptable. With what has been going with Assange, Manning, and now Snowden, I very much prefer not to assume
