a voice interface to pd would be interesting to us,

snip---

i think it's a great idea...

i heard of one recently, a python programmer who rigged something up so that he could speak in python

might be this one...

this uses the windows speech sdk, whilst wondering if an open source sdk existed i came across this piece of news from tuesday...

IBM to open source speech recognition http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=18420

i use viavoice because of rsi (i should really be usin g it now, or a softer keyboard in a more sensible position, but anyway), & it's pretty good.

i'd thought about rigging something up to program in lisp/scheme using viavoice, because i think the syntax is simple enough to allow this

i suppose pd for the blind might throw up similar issues to using screenreaders... some of the same problems/solutions might apply.

best wishes

adam
