[PD] voice regognition (speech2text)

[Nicholas Ward]

i used sonic from university of colorado a few years ago. it was pretty  
quick to get running as i remember with the supplied examples. Its a  
client/server setup. There is also a supplied example client written in  
tcl/tk which was easy to hack so it sent the words the server  
recognised on to a socket and then into PD.
Of course i cant find any of this now but heres where you can get sonic  
from (you just need to register to download). I ran the server on OS X  
fine (needs a fast computer) and i also saw a friend run it very  
successfully on windows.
Hope this helps.
