Description katherinekatz 2006-12-13 04:53:58 UTC

Including a speech-to-text-dictation program in your suite would make life a 
lot easyer for those of us who don't like typing. 

The open source community are making strides in this area and it seems an 
investment in ooo's future and general acceptance to at least have a link to an 
open office compatable continuous speech dictation program.

MSO 2003 had sapi and it has been dropped in 2007 to my great dissappointment.

Thanks for all your hard work.

I like to see OOo do this.  Linux is really lacking a speech to text program. 

 I think Sphinx (a speaker-independent large vocabulary continuous speech
recognizer released under Berkeley's style license. It is also a collection of
open source tools and resources that allows researchers and developers to build
speech recognition systems) is the most up to date speech program that can do this.

 I'm not a programmer (my typing is to slow) but I will help as much as I can.

Sorry but since 4.x, OpenOffice is under Apache license.
So not compatible with other.
