[svlug] Linux speech -> text

[pouria]

Hi Ajit

You might want to check out the Sphinx project. I have tried it myself 
and it is amazing, It also has real-time mode if you are interested.
There also is a very good documentation on the web site that tells you 
how to install it, train it and use it

http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/html/cmusphinx.php

Hope this helps
