Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by speech recognition. 1/ if you are talking about navigating through the menus thanks to the voice, I believe this is the job of the Operating System. On Windows, there are some speech recognition tools http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/common-speech-recognition-commands#1TC=windows-7. I'm pretty sure KDE has something in the same line. It should work already.
2/ if you are talking about entering notes, symbols etc... the first step would be to implement a better navigation scheme as defined in "Accessibility for visual impaired people". Once done, the operating system speech recognition engine could probably used to trigger these navigation commands. 3/ Once the navigation scheme is in place. In particular the status bar display mentioned in the idea. An interesting job is the resersed of speech recognition, meaning text to speech. The end goal of displaying the current measure, part, note etc... is to have the computer saying it using screen readers such as NVDA http://www.nvaccess.org/ So I don't exactly see what you mean by speech recognition. If you mean building a speech recognition engine in MuseScore, I believe it's out of the scope of the software. Integration with existing speech recognition engine on the OS could be a nice idea but I believe screen reader support should be first. Hope it helps, lasconic 2014-03-08 10:03 GMT+01:00 Ruchit Agrawal <[email protected]>: > Hello all, > > I was thinking of some ideas which could improve usability of MuseScore and > one of them that came to mind was enabling speech recognition.
