The Open Mind Speech project is part of the Open Mind Initiative and aims to develop free (GPL) speech recognition tools and applications, as well as collect speech data from "e-citizens" using the Internet. The main target will still be Linux (and other UNIX flavors). The software will be designed so that it can be easily integrated into any application, window manager or desktop environments (KDE and gnome). Open Mind Speech is using the Overflow environment.

The Open Mind Initiative is a collaborative framework for developing "intelligent" software using the internet. Based on Open Source method, it supports domain experts (who provide algorithms), tool developers (who provides software infrastructure and tools) and non specialist "e-citizens" (who contribute raw data). Our mailing list is freespeech-general@lists.sourceforge.net. We are always looking for people to participate in this project. You can register to the mailing list by clicking here.
