voice recognition to control your OS

kiku (pronounced key cue in English) means “listen” in Japanese. it aims at saving time and pain (voice instead of mouse & keyboard). you should look at the video section to have an idea of what kiku can do for you. basically:

  • English acoustic model (provided by VoxForge)
  • Japanese acoustic / language model (provided by Julius)
  • emulate the keyboard and the mouse (provided by xdotool)
  • open sound control client (send recognition result or any message via udp / tcp)
  • use PulseAudio or Alsa
  • monitor processes to load the matching V2C (voice to command)
  • automatic pausing / unpausing
  • notification using: libnotify, libxosd, built-in
  • small footprint (CPU, hard disk)
