forgive me if I come off like a clueless twit but I've got a rather
interesting (to me) problem to solve with a large surface area.
I'm disabled from spending too many hours on the keyboard (this may be in
your future) and I want to use Linux speech recognition on a laptop with a
USB based microphone.
I've got the laptop (Dell Inspiron 5000/Pentium III/650/512 MB RAM
currently running Windows 2000 boo-hiss)
I've got the USB pod (Telex H-531 and Andrea's USB pod)
I've got the speech recognition software (IBM ViaVoice)
I've also got seven years experience with speech recognition usage as well
as about seven years worth of Linux experience (from a server perspective).
What I don't have is enough of a clue about how the Linux sound system
works and how the USB audio drivers interact with the input channel.
What I'm hoping to get from this group is enough information about USB and
USB audio so that I can figure out how to get sound coming in via the USB
pod. Once that's working I can then go to the speech recognition folks and
fight the battles on the recognizer side.
I'm hoping to be able to pick brains enough to help me get things working
with a minimum of finger/hand usage to minimize what doctors refer to as
"some discomfort".
your help and understanding is appreciated
