Not aware of anything yet for N900. There are open source programs for linux so could be ported perhaps?

I searched for apps relating to voip as I know they exist for transcribing of conversations. See here http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Voice+recognition

The iOS Dragon Dictation app sends the audio files over the Internet to a server farm ("cloud") of computers that do the actual speech recognition and send the text back - the processing isn't done on the iOS device itself. Unless you have access to a load of servers, I'm not sure this will be possible on N900.

Dragon Dictation was available way back when i386 was considered a powerful machine. The N900 is way more powerful than an i386 so shouldn't have much trouble with mere voice recognition

Back then it wouldn't recognise continuous speech, i.e. you had to pause between each word.

I haven't kept up with recent speech recognition tech, so maybe you're right that the N900 could do it on the device itself. But there was presumably a good reason that Nuance used a cloud solution for the iOS version of Dragon.

I used it back then, it was a joke. You spent more time to proof read and correct then get anything done. I stopped using it. In the last years or so, some of my colleague has found it to be very accurate and useful.

There is an open-source project called CMU Sphinx.

If someone is willing to port it to maemo.....(there is already an iPhone client)

There is an voice-based interface browser called nightingale for the n900.

Now this is the application I have been waiting for, especially if it can do something like they do on the adverts, like open email or sms dictate and send.

Would mean we could send sms messages while doing other things like driving or in the bath.

Hmm on the CMU Sphinx site there is a demonstration of a browser that has voice recognition built in running on a n900.

This could be good.
