RE: [Open Mind Speech] Literature search

[Scott R. S. <sc...@rp...>]

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a FREE speech recognition software. All I need is something
that can recognize 2 to 3 word phrases. My step son is handicap and I am
working on developing something that can help him operate something such as
his wheelcahir with a simple command. His speech is very limited as well as
mobility, so that is why the simple 2 to 3 word phrases.
Any help on the software would be greatly appreciated.

Brand new to the mailing list.

I have a neighbor down the road who is visually impaired.  I am a fairly
proficient programmer, but before I re-invent the wheel, I want to find
out if the software he wants is already avaiable.  He has a band, and he
does the recording engineer stuff to produce thier CD's on their
computer.  I want to be able to write (Java perhaps?) software that can
run on a Windows operating system that will let a blind user, with
little or no keyboard input, use voice commands in a head set to capture
audio clips, name them, convert them to mp3 or ogg format, master a CD
iso image, input descriptions of the songs for an online music store and
the liner notes for the album, and publish an online web store where the
CD images or individual tracks can be downloaded and / or CD's ordered.

I think such a package could sell for over $1000 if I were selling it,
but the initial development I want to do as a favor to my new neighbors,
for a percentage of any CD sales and rights to redistribute the software.

I might offer a free version for download and if someone wanted an
installed system on hardware that I sold I could tack on a software
purchase agreement with a hardware system that I resold.
