Thanks for the link to simon. I shall investigate

I’m waiting to hear back if my paper will be accepted for linux.conf.au. I hope so, since I was invited to send my paper in by one of the organisers. But one never knows

Hey Nic,

I came across this too,

http://dot.kde.org/2009/08/22/simon-speech-activated-user-interface-kde

Not sure how far along the project is, but it looks neat.

Are you going to linux.conf.au? I’m going to be there and am speaking on DIY assistive tech.

This looks promising. I’d been looking for a voice recognition solution to run on Ubuntu for a while, but nothing much was available. Ideally, I’d love a FOSS solution I could run both on *nix and Windoze, using the same user files/dictionaries. I don’t want much at all

Hi Luis, the speech recognizer in this video is GnomeVoiceControl, http://live.gnome.org/GnomeVoiceControl and the person who posted the video has some more information here, in Spanish, http://www.elrinconde.com/mimetist/2008/12/23/gnome-voice-control-controla-tu-escritorio-con-la-voz/

And there are also these projects mentioned on VoxForge:
Sphinx, ISIP, Julius e HTK (nota: HTK possui restrições de distribuição).

The VoxForge models for Brazilian Portugues are being built here,

http://voxforge.org/pt_br

and there is a forum, but without much activity yet. You might try posting there:

http://voxforge.org/pt_br/forums

I’ve heard of the Center for Independent Living in Brazil, CVRJ,

http://www.independentliving.org/docs3/cils.html#anchorBra

But their site appears to be down.

Good luck and let us know about progress on your project!

Hi,

What is the speech recognizer used in this video?
Is it possible to send me a link with informations regarding this system (software, scripts used to train acoustic models, etc)?

I would like to try build some models for Brazilian Portuguese.

Thanks,

Luis
