Looking for advice on speech recognition concept

[maikhorma]

Hey everyone. I've been using eventghost for a while for my htpc, and it really is awesome, but i was exploring the possibilities of adding speech recognition. I've got a concept for one but am looking for some input from people experienced with writing plugins here.

First was to see if the windows 7 built in capabilities would work. I did find http://eventghost.net/forum/viewtopic.p ... 8&start=30, but i'm not sure if it'll work with windows 7. On top of that from my initial research the commands in windows 7 aren't going to let me customize or override how i want to. For example "Start listening" is the required command to wake it up and it can't be changed.

The core of my idea is to use Sphinx3 (specifically pocketsphinx):
http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/
http://jaganadhg.freeflux.net/blog/arch ... ython.html

The basic idea is that the plugin would use sphinx to fire it's own "SpeechRecieved.<word said>" event, then use all the power that eg gives.

Thoughts? Waste of time? Not as simple as it looks? Already been done (or the one i noted before works better than i think)?

Thanks

I use, and would recommend Vox Commando. It has served me well although is not free but it's not much for a licence. Between EG and VC my HTPC is totally voice controlled and have voice feedback too... basically, it's a less sophisticated version of JARVIS from the Iron Man films.
