I purchased ViaVoice from IBM (for Win32) a while ago. The more we get involved in projects like these, the more quickly Linux will succeed in breaking the M$ stranglehold on the industry. Let IBM know of your interest, offer to act as a BETA tester, etc. The same group which produces ViaVoice also has a screen reader for the visually impaired which I would like to see in Linux as well. The faster this technology develops, the better for all of us, especially the motion disabled who can use this technology as a true window to the world. BTW, IN-CUBE is already available on Solaris, so maybe the Linux community can persuade CommandCorp to port their product (?) This would be similar to how IN-CUBE can be used to drive various applications from small voice commands. IMHO the number one thing IBM can do to help ViaVoice succeed in the Linux arena (other than GPL'ing the code, which they probably will not do) is provide crystal clear documentation of the API and a powerful SDK to allow other programmers to develop 'voice-drivable' applications.

My thoughts are that with the cleaner OS code in Linux may actually help IBM develop code that is much more powerful than the Win32 versions. In voice recognition, IBM is definitely one of the 'to market' leaders, especially in the consumer area. Optical Charaacter Recognition (OCR) technology four years ago was a 'probable buy', however the accuracy has gone up and cost down, so much that it is now a 'should buy', and any company requiring significant amounts of document translation is behind the times if it does not have at least one employee competently using OCR. However, the state of the art will obviously advance. Thus I have not as yet been able to recommend the technology to my client customers. I have used ViaVoice Gold for a couple of years now, and even with IBM's longest voice template 'training', occasionally ViaVoice goes loopy and acts like it's dictating to itself, rather than translating from my voice.

While I am very interested in this announcement, the IBM voice technology I've worked with in Win32 (95 and NT) thus far is not sufficient for full-time use yet. I don't expect wordperfect to support ViaVoice, since they already seem to have a contract with Dragon Systems. FONT BOLD ON) could be added to programs.

Currently, you can speak to whatever textbox has focus under Win32, and if developers use the free SDK, more functionality (e.g. Hopefully ViaVoice will integrate with most applications easily, as it does under Win32. I suppose if you wanted to write your own grammar (which is possible with Win32 tools right now), you might be able to make a C or a Perl grammar, but moving around the code would be painful. You would not be able to use this efficiently at a bash prompt or for coding. Telepathic speech isn't understood clearly by the engine. It is not suitable as a complete replacement for typing, since it expects you to be dictating in a natural voice (e.g. In general it's very good if you have time to go back and correct whatever it has written. Sometimes it amazes me as to how it understands what I dictate, of course other times it plainly has no clue. ViaVoice is an excellent product (at least under Win32).
