=== Description ===

Speech recognition is often needed for installations and in various other contexts.

In addition, easy to use patches should be created, which demonstrate for non-experts how to use this external.

Sphinx is a speaker-independent large vocabulary continuous speech recognizer released under a BSD style license. It is also a collection of open source tools and resources that allows researchers and developers to build speech recognition systems.

Resources to start:
 *http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO : a tutorial on how to write C externals for pure data
 *http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/tutorial.html : a tutorial on how to use the sphinx speech recognition system

 *some knowledge of C programming
 *interest in speech recognition
