You are correct. The use-case is quite different from that of most
researchers in the field. The intial goal was continuous recognition
of speech such as dictating a document. The current popularity of
the spoken command is much more realistic (limited vocabulary,
predictable syntax). However, in both cases the speech recognizer
tries to understand the speaker's diction (hence the training). <br>
<br>
What is probably needed is to train a recognizer with a range of
native speakers of the language and then see whether the learner's
speech can be recognized, but that the learner will learn to speak
recognizably. <br>
<br>
I don't have any experience as a developer but have been following
this for a long time. The CMU project has been going on for years so
it a good choice for stability and has a university research team
behind it.<br>
<br>
I have tried matching the oscilloscope sound, but did not find it
helpful (French réfrigérateur proved impossible).<br>

<div>Do you have experience with this? So far as I can tell the
"compare sound patterns" part gets complicated. <br>

<div>This use-case differs from most of the research I've found
regarding speech recognition in that normally a recognizer
will try to determine the words of a given audio-snippet. This
use-case is simply to test if a given audio-snippet is a
specific word or phrase. I imagine the latter is less
complicated, but I haven't found any out-of-the-box solutions
for it.</div>

<div>The application of speech recognition for Sugar is to
enable learners to pronounce words or sentences in
English (or other second language) and have the speech
recognition affirm by recognition that the sounds are
sufficiently accurate. Currently this is often done by
having the learner compare sound patterns (oscilloscope
style). <br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> As a simple example, suppose the student is
presented an arithmetic problem (e.g. by KA Lite). Give
the student the ability to say the result instead of
having to enter it from a keyboard.<br>

<div>Has anyone else used any speech recognition in
Sugar (or web)? Would anyone be interested in working
with me on creating a speech recognition library that
can be used throughout Sugar (native and web-based)?<br>
