Speech recognition packages
Hello,
I am looking for speech recognition packages. Someone can help-me with suggestions.
This is complex problem, it is required that applications are all the time listening and processing the information. This is not the core of my work but i need something that translates voice to text.
I have found (http://www.pirobot.org/blog/0022/ and https://code.google.com/p/ros-pocketsphinx-speech-recognition-tutorial/wiki/Tutorial) which uses pocketsphinx, but from what I have seen is not accurate and is required to build a dictionary of words.
Another solution is using the google framework (http://blog.achuwilson.in/2012/06/speech-recognition-in-ros-linux.html), but it is required internet connection and can take more the 3 seconds to get an answer.
Another option is use Julian (http://achuwilson.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/speech-recogition-using-julius-in-linux/) from video looks great.
The Hark seems to be powerful but they are using multiples microphones for localization also. (http://www.ros.org/wiki/hark, http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/wiki.cgi?page=HARK-ROS+Installation+Instructions)
I need something light then HARK and more efficient then pocketsphinx. I think that I will start with HARK. Can you give-me others suggestions?
Thanks
interesting question
From my point of view PocketSphinx is a powerfull tool for Speech Recognition. However, it need some tuning to get the most of it. Also, HARK is a good think, I do not like the way the implemented but are good algorithms for localisation and separation in quiet environments.
