Speech Recogniton

hi,

Do any libraries exist that allow me to use the Apple Speech recognition
hardware under LinuxPPC?

thanks,

Mike

Sorry, there is no hardware (aside from a simple digitizer to capture
the sound of course).  Apple's speech recognition is 100% software.

The original implementation on 68K Macs used an AT&T DSP coprocessor
to do the crunching because the 68K didn't have enough oomph to do it
by itself, but the PowerPC implementation relies on nothing but the
CPU.

	on the off chance that you can get sound input
	to work under LinuxPPC (i have a pimiso pb so it cant AFAIK)
	try checking on freshmeat.  There are a few programs
	that can do voice control.  One of them is called voicecontrol
	i think.

	I have only played with festival which can to Text to speech.

Check out the Speech Recognition Package on Source Forge. "Sphinx 2"  It
was originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University.  If you could
see the code of most commercial Speaker Independant Systems, you'd likly
see Sphinx running in there.  I believe Apple's system was developed
from sphinx.  could be way off here.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/

I understand it compiles cleanly on Linux PPC.
