Interesting timing. I assume you and your fellow "bunch of crips"
are motion impaired. I happen to be in Africa just now working on the
polio vaccination effort in an attempt to reduce additions to your
group. My mother-in-law (a polio victim) was quadriplegic and used
breathing assistance, and ran a telephone answering service for 17
years. Her voice was her world. I wish she had something as nice as a
computer that could understand speech.
polio is tough. It has vanished from us in the first world so completely
we don't think about it being a problem elsewhere. It may still be
possible for speech recognition to work for her but it would require
some significant annotationto handle the rest of the accessibility
problems found in the rest of NaturallySpeaking, talk to me off list and
I will see if I can find help
FYI, nuance is just as hostile to the disabled as almost every other
software company. They just happen to advertise a side effect of
NaturallySpeaking as accessibility.
Now to the subject... As we speak I am frantically crunching on a
Python proxy to bridge a COM link to the Linux environment.
The specific COM link I am fighting with (and for) is the COM
interface to the ADO database engine. I am attempting to build a
remote ADO module which talks to a Windows host which performs the COM
calls to talk to a database server. I am getting pretty close -- close
enough that the django test routine running on Ubuntu can create and
load a database and start running tests against it -- before it runs
into some kind of timeout or thread exhaustion error. I am trying to
use Pyro4 as the network communication layer.
Is this something you can use? Not yet, but it may be a starting
point. Stay in touch, please..
if you look on source Forge for natlink, like, here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/natlink/ you'll see what we are doing.
I'm hoping your attempts can be generalized to serve both of our needs.
I will put this on the queue of things I need to pay attention to.
As for the source of our cripple nature, most of us were programmers. A
few are arthritic or accident injury types. I'm working on a new method
of programming using speech recognition. The symbol translation stuff is
working pretty good but I really need some form of templating system to
help me build code from complex objects. For example, the time module.
How would you speak the time module in a high-level way and given the
right assumptions, generate the right code. The second would be how you
reverse the process so that you can edit the English text to fix an
error or change logic and then generate code again.
Interesting stuff

As some of you know, I used speech recognition in order to be able
to work with computers. I'm looking for a way to direct the action
of speech recognition onto a Linux machine. There are two
components speech and commands. The way many of us create commands
is via a NaturallySpeaking Python link. That link is created by a
com interface. The first step in making action show up in a Linux
environment is to move this NaturallySpeaking Python link to the
Linux side. In order to do this, I would need a proxy to bridge
the COM interface to the Linux environment.
one) does that kind of bridge exists?
Two) if not, is it possible to build it?
3) (and you knew this was coming) feel like helping a bunch of crips?
3a) there are some political benefits nfpc.
I'm thinking about operating in a Windows host Linux virtual
machine environment. Not over any great extent of network. I
choose the window hosts because that way we get the best
performance out of speech recognition and if it's just running a
virtual machine, it's pretty stable and safe from attack.
