Apologies for the thread hijack but since it's related, I won't feel too guilty :-)
How does one get better USB performance? I ask because of the usual sad, sad story of hand damage, speech recognition, and Windows[1]. today, USB audio is the way to go for speech recognition. virtual box USB audio is choppy and choppy audio is not good for speech recognition. How can I eliminate that choppiness? Related is a plea for help from someone with hands that work. We need help writing an application[2] will transfer text and commands to and from a linux context. This is no bullshit when I say that this kind of application can help make a difference in fellow geeks getting/keeping a job after disability. ---eric [1]keyboard nukes hands, desperate geek driven to speech recognition, speech recognition only runs on Windows, Windows drives geek mad, geek encapsulate windows in the VMWare, VMWare drives geek mad, ... [2] the application is a significant advance over the NaturallySpeaking feature called "dictation box". Think a small, very lightweight text editor. The editor would use one of the "standard" edit controls so that all of the speech recognition editing features inherent in naturally speaking would work. Information would be transferred to and from the Linux context via cut-and-paste (customizable on a per application basis). It would be nice to be able to write commands using NaturallySpeaking macros and control/inject text in the application but that's a second-generation thing. third generation would be the ability to put syntax smart editing in our dictation box. the first two steps aren't horribly complicated and the first step is the core to being able to use Linux applications with speech recognition. It's just a bit to do it if your hands don't work right as C/C++ is pretty unspeakable _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
