The only way to get real speech recognition on Linux is to run Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 7, 8 or 9, using WINE. Version 9, only Preferred works. I think Standard and Preferred both work for versions 7 and 8. Forget Professional, Legal and Medical versions. Once you get them installed, they run as fast and as accurately as they do on Windows, provided you stick to text recognition. Text can be input ONLY into the included DragonPad program or the Notepad program that comes with WINE.

Start Notepad from a terminal using the command: wine notepad If anyone has any difficulty installing, give me a shout on-list using the header Speech Recognition --Help or something like that, because I don't read all the Studio mailing list entries. One tip, if you are new to Dragon NaturallySpeaking ... keep your expectations modest. Also, realize that the microphone they ship with the program is a piece of crap. If you can't get an accuracy score above 23 for the microphone, throw it away and get a new one. (One good thing about this list, I assume you all have good microphones.) Good soundcards are also a must. (Another problem you probably don't have.) 1GB RAM is essential. A fast processor is good.
