[Malvern] Dragon Dictate

[Ian Pascoe]

Hi Phil

If he's running the Gnome Desktop he needs Orca and all it's dependancies.
Should be able to apt-get it from whichever distro repo he's on.  If he's
using another Desktop, I think KDE has some rudimentary stuff, but I'm
unaware of anything else on any other desktop.

[oo-er, that sounded like I actually knew what I was talking about, must
stop that!]

Ian

Phil,

There is "Dragon Naturally Speaking", from:

http://www.dragonvoicerecognition.com

some versions of which can run under wine, although WineHQ has some
caveats. Version 10 is the latest:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13563

I have a cousin who wants it loaded on an Asus EEE 900. We tried and
failed to load it on a desktop with Kubuntu 7.10, because you need at
least wine 1.0.1 (last stable), which only loads to Kubuntu 8.04 and
later. Current unstable wine is 1.1.15. Unfortunately since he and his
ASUS are currently building things in Af&8ani3tan, I cant report on
progress.


Cheers,

Andy
