speech recognition?
Hi, I am developing a virtual world called Virtual Worlds Grid, and I am using FreeSwitch to provide voice. I would like to integrate it with a speech recognition engine like Simon, in order to have everything said in voice to be typed into text. This is one way to make the grid accessible for people who cannot use voice, and it also allows language translation software like Open Bablefish, to translate voice conversations from the resulting text files, which would facilitate multilingual conversations. I am new to the FreeSwitch system, and need some guidance on how to set this up. I would appreciate any tips, cautions, or links to practical help I can get. If this will work in a virtual world, there is no reason it cannot be made to work on cell phones. Thanks, Myron Curtis
Hi It was someone else who requested a similar natural speech to text service earlier.... It is some ASR examples on wiki - pocketsphinx exist + bridging into commercial versions. What is "Simon" ?

I will look more closely at the wiki to see if pcketsphinx + bridging will do what I need.

Myron, Also check out Vestec. You can get an SDK for $25 and they have a FreeSWITCH connector. They also have really good recognition rates. -MC
I had not heard of them until now, thanks. This quest is going to open a whole new universe for me to conquer.

Myron, If you insist on using Simon I will suggest that you get some help from the Simon community to connect mrcp using unimrcp or similar onhttp://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_unimrcp. Once this is available it should just work. Simon is GPL - meaning the license is not compatible with FS - but, that does not prevent you as an end-user of using it.

Thank you Jan, I t sounds like you might like a different speech recognition system for FreeSwitch better than Simon. Do you have suggestions for some that might be more compatible? I chose Simon only because it was recommended to me by a friend who has worked with it and he was willing to help set it up. Thanks for your quick reply.

I don't have any preferences. Anything that works goes - but I like the idea of a standard plug-in interface on this area. Most countries have speech detection, but you will not find a single vendor that supports all languages. In your case I would look for a natural speech engine - something I am not to familiar with myself. My last attempt on doing that gave some very interesting results :-) Jan _____ From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Myron Curtis Sent: 7. juni 2010 14:32 To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] speech recognition?

you would need one that was designed for dictation, pocketsphinx only works on small dictionaries that were chosen for the application at hand. On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 8:54 AM, Jan Berger <jan.berger@video24.no> wrote:
