[Sugar-devel] Speech Recognition

Tony,



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



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.

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). 

 

 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.

The application I am working on, and targeting across multiple platforms is HTML5 + JavaScript for ease of portability. Right now I have a very naive Speech Recognition system in place, but I plan to use CMU's PocketSphinx (particularly the Pocketsphinx.js port).



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)?
