[PD] voice regognition (speech2text)

[B. Bogart]

Thanks all,

Looks like there is not much out there, viavoice seems not to be really
"free" as I could not find any source, only a ecommerce site to buy it for
windows.

Looks like Sphinx is the only real option, but unfortunatly I'd have to
make it a research project to use it with PD.

I think the real problem is that both these solutions are meant to be
solid for phone systems etc.. I just want something that works 50% of the
time, and does not depend on lots of training data. I guess I'm the only
one to have interest in such a thing.

Oh well, if anyone finds anything let me know.

Thanks,
,b,
