Best Voice Of The Week

Speech recognition has been somewhat of a UNICORN in the software industry; never really perfecting it or never able to make one without hitting a few bumps on the road. Several Pundits like Ray Kurzwell and Bill Gates have tried to develop and proclaim that speech recognition is the future of computing, but people still rely on input devices like Mouse, Keyboards, and other pointing devices.

Today, people are still curious as to the development of speech recognition software, and if they cost a few dollars or so. Several projects and companies have developed speech recognition programs over the last 2 decades, and some of them are in the 90% accuracy; meaning that even if you are able to train the software with your inflections, it still wouldn’t be good enough for others.

Every week, Linux-Tested.com will update the BEST VOICE OF THE WEEK, where we present to you the best voice recognition software in the open-source world:

Week # 1: Simon from Simon-listens.org

  • -          Simon is free open-source speech recognition software that will be able to replace your mouse and keyboard. It is very flexible software and allows customization for any other application that requires speech recognition. It is also a candidate for the European Project called E-INCLUSION because of its language-independent programming. The goal of the software is to give physically disabled people and senior citizens to do stuff on the Internet like chat, send emails, do internet banking a lot more. 

Week #2: Perlbox from Perlbox.org

  • -          Perlbox.org develops voice solution for Linux and Unix desktop control. One of their projects is called the Perlbox Voice Control with text-to-speech feature and voice control for specific applications. The text-to-speech feature wouldn’t be possible without the help of the Festival speech synthesizer. There are also desktop plugins which will allow you to control your Linux desktop with the use of your voice, including screen cycling, desktop cycling, quick-locking the screen, and invoking the run dialog. It also has a PSEUDO-COMMAND feature which allows you to enter commands that you may want to speak. There is no need to train the listening agent in this software because the Sphinx2 backend can be used by multiple users without any reconfiguration. It is also resistant to background and ambient noises.
