Thought I would announce my simple desktop
control app based on Sphinx-4. It's available
at

The readme follows:
========================
README for SpeechLion 0.2
========================
Summary
=======
SpeechLion is a small speech recognition application
based on Sphinx-4_ which demonstrates desktop command
and control.
Currently it is mainly useful for assistance when web-browsing,
and can save a lot of keyboard and mouse usage. It is
developed and tested under Linux and Gnome. The engine
runs entirely on the Java VM, and should easily run under Windows.
The grammar files (which control most of the features)
are dependent on the keyboard shortcuts used by the
Mozilla family of browsers under Linux. It is tested with
Firefox.
SpeechLion is alpha-quality code. It is basically
a proof of concept right now. It does some useful
things for me and is at a point where others may enjoy it
too.
Features
========
+ Web browsing shortcuts
+ Window management shortcuts
+ Volume and muting commands
+ Command mode, spelling mode, mousing mode, and off mode
