Hi, Sorry for multiple postings, but I wasn't quite sure which list to direct this question to. I was wondering if anyone knows SuSE's current intentions towards Speech Recognition Software? I know that most of the distributions used to package ViaVoice, but this has now become defunct.I am interested to know if SuSE or KDE are going to try to work with any other recognition toolkit for linux in the near future. If SuSE or any of the large linux groups have chosen a speech recongition toolkit, then it tgives the rest of us in research a large indiction of which software to expect to become readily available. In some recent reading, I see CMU Sphinx as being one promising toolkit, but it is limited in a curent lack of multi-lingual support. In particular there is no readily available German Acoustic model, and a sizeable amount of effort would be required to put one together by trained linguists. I would be very grateful for any information or comments you might have on this topic. yours robert ross -- ==================================================================== Robert Ross -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mail FB3, Mathematik-Informatik Deptartment of Mathematics Universität Bremen & Computer Science Postfach 330 440 University of Bremen 28334 Bremen P.O.
