Server speech response

I am trying to install a speech recognition server. (non-commercial, preferred as it is just for experimentation)

The idea is to let the user say something from the website and then whatever he says will be displayed on the screen (as text)

I've read about many of the available software tools, from Microsoft Speech, Sphinx, Julius, etc., but I'm not sure which one will work best and is easiest to install. Also usually I need to be root on my hosting to do this kind of thing? I am currently using regular shared hosting.

Thanks
Tee

I doubt you can do anything with a shared hosting environment. Speech recognition can be quite intense, and the shared hosting environment is obviously "split" and most hosts don't want you to steal all resources.

I already answered a similar question an hour or so ago. You can use any ASR tool. Both are open source, htk / julius and sphinx will work. I used sphinx4 for this. You can use a shared hosting plan if it is for your own use only, but for many users, you will need a dedicated server.

You will need root to install a large number of required packages. There are also several media you can choose to get audio like flash / silverlight / google gears / etc ..



There are demos I made at www.speechapi.com that do some simple tasks. Two self-promotion posts in an hour. Sorry!
