I use sphinx2 and have a rather poorly coded, perl-based, voice |
13 |
control system for my computer. The thing about it is that, from their |
14 |
website, you can compiles a list of words/phrases that you want your |
15 |
program to recognize, which means that once I came up with a suitably |
16 |
diverse set of keywords ("play music" vs "stop noise", with "fast |
17 |
forward" "rewind" etc.) the recognition is almost 100%. |
18 |
|
19 |
It is rather convenient to be able to keep my hands on the keyboard |
20 |
typing whatever it is that I am working on and start XMMS using my |
21 |
voice. |
22 |
|
23 |
(Also coded in keywords to run fetchmail and have an interactive |
24 |
'biff' =) ) |

|
26 |
For those interested, possibly the best way to learn to use sphinx2 is |
27 |
to go through the docs and look at the sample scripts. There's no |
28 |
other was for me figure out the 967-character-long command+options |
29 |
that is needed for my script. |
