    When I was doing some research on speech recognition, I saw some articles about the google speech recognition service on android being able to be downloaded and used offline on android. I also saw some stuff about using the google speech service over the computer, but it involved querying the google server. So here's my question: is there any way to use the google speech recognition service offline over the computer, specifically on linux?

    Use the Palaver developed by James McClain.

    For more details look this video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxom292XW_g).

    Dependencies:

    $ sudo apt-get install sox python-argparse libsox-fmt-mp3 mutt xvkbd xautomation
    

    The current code is beta, and will be going through restructuring changes as it moves from git to launchpad, so expect a lot of changes in the near future.

    The beta can actually do quite a lot at the moment, especially if you add your own dictionary.

    Have a look at the docs (/opt/Palaver/Docs) for setting up a dictionary of commands. It is very easy to do. Also, have a look at the default dictionary for a list of inbuilt commands.

    Well you could use Spanish if your OS was in Spanish. From MS knowledge base.

    The Windows Speech Recognition language must be the same as the operating system language in Windows Vista
