( taken from http://live.gnome.org/GnomeVoiceControl ) Gnome-Voice-Control is a speech recognizer to control the GNOME Desktop. The idea is to develop some features that will improve the usability in the Gnome Desktop. The goal is to implement a Desktop Voice Control System. The system consists in an application that will be monitoring the audio input(microphone) and when a significant audio signal has been detected, the software catches, processes and recognizes the signal and then executes the desired action over the Gnome Desktop. In a set of actions could include maximize, minimize, close the active window; open a specific program; switching from one desktop to another; among others. The software will be implemented in C language in conjunction with CMU Sphinx, which is an open source tool, created to recognize and decode audio files in word list files. The software will be developed as a Gnome applet. Reproducible: Always
