Re: [g-a-devel] speech recognition and accessibility

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Hi Nickolay,

I agree with Malte - this technology has much wider application than 
just for those interested in GOK; it probably makes more sense to keep 
it separate.

What are your long term plans for it?  Do you envision this remaining a 
command-and-control application, or do you want to also include 
dictation?  Do you have a long term plan to keep working on this?

Also, do you have any users with physical impairments involved in the 
project?

P.S. I tried running it on both Ubuntu 7.4 and OpenSolaris.  On the 
former, I can't seem to get audio input working.  On the latter, it 
stays in "Configuring" mode forever.  Any hints?
