KDE connect allows you to use your android device as an input device for your Linux computer (there are also some other features). Right now I'm experimenting with using KDE connect in combination with Google speech recognition on my android smartphone. 2014 – Pycon: Using Python to Code by Voice (Tavis Rudd).2016 – The Eleventh HOPE: Coding by Voice with Open Source Speech Recognition (David Williams-King).I am also aware of these two talks exploring Linux option for speech recognition: I am aware of Aenea, which allows speech recognition via Dragonfly on one computer to send events to another, but it has some latency cost: as well as this benchmark of existing speech recognition APIs. I am also aware of this attempt at tracking states of the arts and recent results (bibliography) on speech recognition. (to be released by Google, mentioned at Interspeech 2018).Vox, a system to control a Linux system using Dragon NaturallySpeaking: +.(part of Mozilla's Vaani project: ( mirror)).There exist some very alpha open-source projects:

Clean (94), is the number of utterances scored. The number in the parentheses next to each dataset, e.g. All systems are scored only on the utterances with predictions given by all systems. Table 4: Results (%WER) for 3 systems evaluated on the original audio. Benchmarks from Gigaom are encouraging as shown in the table below, but I am not aware of any good wrapper around to make it usable without quite some coding (and a large training data set): On Microsoft Windows I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking, on Apple Mac OS X I use Apple Dictation and DragonDictate, on Android I use Google speech recognition, and on iOS I use the built-in Apple speech recognition.īaidu Research released yesterday the code for its speech recognition library using Connectionist Temporal Classification implemented with Torch. As for Wine + Dragon NaturallySpeaking, in my experience it keeps crashing, and I don't seem to be the only one to have such issues unfortunately. By poor accuracy, I mean an accuracy significantly below the one the speech recognition software I mentioned below for other platforms have. Wine + Dragon NaturallySpeaking + NatLink + dragonfly + damselflyĪll the above-mentioned native Linux solutions have both poor accuracy and usability (or some don't allow free-text dictation but only voice commands).silvius (built on the Kaldi speech recognition toolkit).IBM ViaVoice (used to run on Linux but was discontinued years ago).I have unsatisfyingly tried the following: It should not be restricted to voice commands, as I want to be able to dictate text. The short version of the question: I am looking for a speech recognition software that runs on Linux and has decent accuracy and usability.
