They (Nuance) should release versions for Linux instead of forcing
people to run virtualized Windows to get decend speech recognition.
I agree wholeheartedly but, I can't explain why I know but trust me that
they have had an ambivalent relationship with making a version work on
linux. I have an idea of of a tool that would help a lot but it would
take a bit of work. The idea is to run speech recognition and virtual
box on Windows as the host OS and create some sort of a bridge that
translates information about the linux windowing environment over to
Windows so that NaturallySpeaking can do its magic. one way of doing
this would be if the guest code could take information about process,
executable name, focus or not, and title bar and pass it down to
Windows. A really tricky version of that would be to have the virtual
box environment spoof Windows into thinking that the linux state was its
own application state
The hardest part is the vdict synchronization which synchronizes what's
visible in a window with what NaturallySpeaking goes about in its
internal buffers.
Anyway, it's an interesting project that would help lots disabled
programmers especially if I managed to get my programming by speech
environment fully operational. another advantage is that it would piss
the hell out of Nuance.
OR IBM should open source its Viavoice code -there was once a version
for Linux- if they are no longer interested in maintaining it.
Nuance took care of that one too. They now own the rights and have
buried the code so very deep. In fact, I suspect they have dug up the
corpse, turned it over, and buried it again to make sure it stayed
buried. I think the best you can say about Nuance is that they are
