Text-to-speech is great but, Festival has had that problem licked for some years now. It works quite well, is free and extensible. Despite its extensibility, very few people are working on it even just adding voices/diphones. I think this is primarily due to the fact that Festival already works so well that there is little need for people to improve it.
But, speech recognition is another story entirely and, in my opinion, a much more interesting and useful one. But, there does not seem to be anything happening in the speech recognition arena on Linux. Several old/dead projects were started but, these all relied on IBM's ViaVoice and it seems that IBM have discontinued ViaVoice on Linux. This is not only a great shame but also surprising given IBM's recent infatuation with Linux.
Can anyone provide a link to a good and, most importantly, current Linux speech recognition project?
