I'm copying the list, because these are good questions that should be
answered and saved in the archive.  Hope that's okay, David.

Speech recognition on the Zaurus hasn't been done yet, I don't think.
There was interest in porting CMU's Sphinx system to it, but I don't
think it ever actually got done, and it may have required rewriting
portions to be use integer math only.

MIT's Galaxy system (used in the DARPA Communicator now) works on an
iPaq Linux distribution, but I don't think it does the processing on
the device; I think it feeds it off to a server elsewhere.  List
members?

CVoiceControl might be do-able, although it's no longer supported by
its developer.  It's designed just for command and control.

I'm not familiar with other offerings, like ISIP (HTK is no good for
license-free commercialization), so I don't know how complete they
are.  I'm also paying for a custom phoneme recognition system to be
developed, but it's being designed for preprocessing data, and I don't
know what the requirements will be for real-time use once its been
trained.

If anyone knows better about voice recognition on a StrongARM
iPaq/Zaurus/etc.-style platform, please chime in.

FLite is Festival Lite, which is a lightweight version of the Festival
text-to-speech system, designed to run on handhelds and the like.

The Zaurus has a built-in keyboard, and there have been bits of effort
in building a hardware interface and porting the iPaq Stowaway
keyboard driver, but I don't think it's come to fruition yet.  Porting
another serial keyboard driver might be easier, since you wouldn't
have to build a hardware thingus.

Thanks,
Vito
