Hi, Ya we know about GVC, and we have tried it also. You can say VEDICS is a super set of GVC. Some of the key features of VEDICS are
1. Accuracy is much better as we use SPHINX-4. 2. File System Navigation - >Navigating files and folders is very easy. 3. Recognizes any thing- > Vedics is dynamic, in the sense it generates words and its pronunciation dynamically.For example, if we take a simple command like "run text editor", the front end changes as editor opens. Vedics generates a new list of words from the front end and produces its pronunciation and grammar files. This makes Vedics recognize any word. It can even recognize junk words like "hsjft" 4. We can pause and start VEDICS through voice using "stop listening" and "start listening" command. In gvc, people had to use mouse to do it. You can also quit Vedics through voice. 5. Works perfectly on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. 6. Can access any element including checkbox, radio button, links, lists etc.... 7. Popup menus like the one that opens on right click are also accessible. 2010/5/21 José Félix Ontañón <felixo...@gmail.com> > 2010/5/21 Nischal Rao <rao.nisc...@gmail.com> > > Hi, >> >> I and some of my friends have created a speech assistant software for >> linux called VEDICS(Voice Enabled Desktop Interaction and Control System). >> Using this software the user can access any element found on the user's >> screen through speech.
