This project should develop an easy to use external for speech recognition, therefore the library "CMU Sphinx":http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx could be used. 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. A tutorial on how to use Sphinx can be found here: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/tutorial.html . Furthermore http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO describes how to write C externals in pure data. Required Skills - some knowledge of C programming - interest in speech recognition
