[g-a-devel] Fwd: simon speech recognition suite released the first alpha

[Peter Grasch <grasch simon-listens org>]

Hi!

My name is Peter Grasch and I am the project administrator of simon.

Simon is an attempt to bring the julius speech recognition engine (optimized 
for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition) and the Model-maintaining 
and -creation methods of the HTK-Toolkit to the end-user.

The application is completely build with qt4 (no kde dependnecies).

Simon is able to maintain the language model, collecting training samples, 
importing various dictionaries, adding new words, deleting words, running 
programs, typing text, learning grammatic structures by simple "reading" 
texts, and much more.

Simon does not come with its own language model but (as it uses julius for the 
recognition) is perfectly suited for use with the voxforge 
gpl-language-model.

Integration with assistive technologies like AT-SPI is planned for future 
releases.

Looking forward to your feedback,
