The show stopper seems to be voice recognition. She is partially disabled and needs Naturally Speaking or equivalent. She uses it for live dictation as well as recording to a digital recorder followed by transcription. Are there any open source equivalents to NS? If not, does anyone know of a successful use of NS under wine? If not, might xen or some other virtualizer be the answer? Could she move files from one virtual machine to another?

Re: Voice recognition software?
I've just downloaded and compiled up the latest CVS version of sphinx-4. I haven't had much time to play with it but I'm quite surprised how accurate it can be when the number of possible inputs is limited. Unfortunately, I don't have a very good microphone so the quality of my speech wasn't brilliant but even so it was able to pick up numbers and menu entries with a great deal of accuracy. I found that the threshold for starting speech detection was far to high and required me to nearly have to shout to make it listen. If all that was required was picking things from a list / menu / etc I think sphinx-4 would be good enough. I don't think it would be good enough for general purpose speech to text applications (but I don't think any speech to text application comes even close to good enough yet).

You probably mean speech recognition software, as in understanding words and sentences (as opposed to voice recognition to identify a user), which is what Dragon NS does, right? I also would like to know if there is something current for linux. Years ago, IBM ViaVoice was available for Linux. This was in the days of RedHat 7.2 if I remember correctly. If I'm not mistaken, Linux support was discontinued quite a long time ago. Nothing open source came even close to being usable. So, let's start this subject rolling, What's the status of speech recognition for Linux these days? A check of IBM's web site might be worthwhile...

Thanks Francesco. I was indeed using alien but I was converting the RPM's to tgz files and then I tried to install them in /usr/local manually. Something in ViaVoice Dictation doesn't like being installed in /usr/local, because I then converted the RPM files directly to .deb files and ViaVoice dictation is working like a champ. So, if anyone else is considering buying ViaVoice Dictation for Linux and running it under Debian potato the only trick is to convert the RPM files to *.deb files and you'll be good to go. Gary
