I posted this in the forums previously, but as nobody answered, it seems not to be the right place to put ebuild requests in. ------ Quote from the forum post ------ I recently read an article about this speech2text software Simon in a german Linux Mag, and it seems a really great piece of software!!! Here are the links to the projekt homepage and their page on sourceforge. As far as I know it is licensed under GPLv2. It depends on Qt 4.3 and Julius, which should need MySQL as far as I know. Well, I was quite fascinated, because it's a free and, as it seems, a very powerful software, which allows you not only to dictate texts but also to control your machine. As I have no experience with writing ebuilds, I just wanted to present this projekt here, and kindly ask if someone could help me out with the ebuilds needed... That would be really great!! Thanks so much in advance! ------ ------ I think so far Gentoo (and most other distros) lacks a good speech2text engine, this one seems very promising. It's still alpha, but if more people would use it, I'm sure work would progress faster. Reproducible: Always
I'm going to assign this initially to the accessibility team, but they may be too overloaded to handle this right now. If so, they will reassign the bug to "maintainer-wanted", and you should try this approach: 1. hang out on #gentoo-sunrise irc channel on server irc.gentoo.org and find a volunteer 2. your volunteer can attach a candidate ebuild to this bug and submit it to the sunrise overlay http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise 3. after it has been in sunrise for a while and seems not too buggy, the accessibility team will likely be interested in adopting it
Started learning how to write ebuilds. As first step I started writing an ebuild for julius (Bug #245275) which is a dependency of simon, as described.
Actually, julius is in bug 245475, in case anybody else is following along...

I am moving this to maintainer-wanted for now.
simon was featured on dot.kde.org (http://dot.kde.org/2009/08/22/simon-speech-activated-user-interface-kde). I will try to take up work on a ebuild again. Unfortunately I'm not having much free time currently, so it would be great if someone could help. I will try to get some help on #gentoo-sunrise as well. Thanks!
I found the simon-0.2.ebuild on aoliynik-overlay. I copied it across as a 3rd party ebuild but it fails when trying to generate a manifest with "EAPI=2 is not supported". Could you please supply a working ebuild if one exists.
can you share this outdated ebuild. i wonder why nobody is interested in this software package having in gentoo?
the deps suck hard, all the kde crap however I'm working on this.
Very nice seeing someone working on this! :)
