Changes

I have been working towards achieving this goal for the past 6 months. The task can be accomplished by breaking the problem into the following smaller subsets and tackling them one by one:

# '''''Port an existing speech engine to the less powerful computers like XO.''''' ( This has been a part of the work that I have been doing so far. I chose Julius as the Speech engine as it is lighter and wriiten in C. I have been able to compile Julius on the XO and am continuing to optimize it to make it work faster.)

# '''''Writing a system service that will take speech as an input and generate corresponding keystrokes and then proceed as if the input was given through the keyboard.''''' (This method was suggested by Benjamin M. Schwartz as an simpler approach as compared to writing a speech library in Python which would use DBUS to connect the engine to the activities in which case changes have to be made to the existing activities to use the library.)

# '''''Starting with recognition of alphabets of a language rather than full-blown speech recognition.''''' This will give an achievable target for the summer of code. As the alphabet set is limited to a small number for most languages, this target will be feasible considering both computational power requirements and attainable efficiency.
