Hi, Not sure if you have tried Cygwin but that does allow you to open both a full gnome desktop and individual applications within windows and in theory should allow you to control the system remotely over ssh via Dragon.
You can run the system full screen and you would not know that you were even using a windows system. If you would like further information let me know as i have worked quite extensively on such setups. As a side note i have been integrating the Microsoft SAPI interface into Linux and have been mainly concentrating on text to speech but there is the speech to text interface that I have tested but not yet done any work on. I see that Dragon also has the potential to have such an interface developed in the same fashion that I have created for SAPI. I have quite a large amount of experience and as along as we can get the bare minimum components of Dragon running under Wine your away. I could do with a sneak peak at the details on the Dragon scripting interface to see if it supports COM automation under windows. If so it will be more straight forward for me. I have a little bit of experience of the SAPI speech recognition system and never rated it really, that is why i have left it alone till now. Anyone who has experience of it can let me know otherwise. I would love someone with experience of the Vista SDK to come on board and help me suck out the SAPI 5.3 components to see if we can get them running under wine. Any volunteers?
