I'm moderately pleased to announce the arrival of a speech recognition and synthesis module for Windows, speech.py.
The 'speech' module provides a clean and simple interface to the Microsoft Speech Kit. It's very easy to use within a program that needs to listen for specific phrases or general speech, or that needs to speak. I created it because the only Python speech recognition code on the web was an example that was clumsy to use and couldn't be turned off. Its most important functions are "listenfor", to execute callbacks upon hearding specific phrases; "listenforanything", for dictation; and "say", to speak out loud. Multiple listeners can be running at once, and individual listeners can be turned off when you're done with them. It lives at pyspeech.googlecode.com, and is available on PyPI via 'easy_install speech' . I'd love feedback or comments -- they'd make my day! Thanks, Michael Gundlach
