Hi, this is my first day learning Applescript and I wrote a nifty
little program that I thought someone else might find interesting. It
uses the speech recognizer in a slightly different way than usual.
Rather than have just a few words in the recognizable wordlist, I
found the 850 most common English words and put them all in the
wordlist. This turns the speech recognizer into a general purpose
speech-to-text converter - almost.
Sounds great in concept, but I don't really know if it works or not
because my voice does not work very well with the speech recognizer.
So I'm releasing the code in the hope that someone with a more
recognizable voice might try it and see if it works. Also, since the
speech recognizer was intended to work on short word lists with no
training, Apple most certainly optimized it for that purpose. Still,
with the right voice and the right vocabulary it might work pretty
well. For example, the vocabulary might be composed of phonems only
and you speak one syllable at a time to get it to work.
In the zip file I included a README.txt, the source code, and two
different vocabulary files - one with 850 words and another with 150
words. You can get it from my website at:
