Donate your voice for the wealth of free speech recognition apps

07-Sep-2010

A week ago, the Fernando de los Rios Consortium, who maintains the Guadalinfo portal, launched the Donate your voice competition with the aim of compiling a voice corpus to produce a free acoustic model. This free acoustic model would then be used to develop a speech recognition application to control the desktop of a computer, similar to Magnus, but more professional :)

This initiative was suggested by the Guadalinex development team with the aim to incorporate such a speech-enabled facility to the Gnome desktop of their GNU/Linux distribution. If there is no last-minute change, this voice desktop control app will use Julius as the core speech recognition engine, and Gnome-Voice-Control to glue Julius to Gnome.
