There are a few speech recognition engines that are F/OSS. A brief summery is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_software_for_Linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_speech_recognition_software might still be useful: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Speech-Recognition-HOWTO/software.html Some leverage Googles speech API - and everything you say gets uploaded to Google. There are several engines and frontends for GTK and KDE (QT). Quality can be a bit rough, but that depends on your accent and how the software engine was/is trained. It's been awhile since I played with any of this stuff. The Google API was pretty good, but tended to lag a bit - perhaps better now. -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
