The above code will send one character to the window. This can be looped to generate a continuous stream (An even nicer way to do this would be set a timer delay to make it look like a typed stream).

Sayamindu has pointed me to XTEST extension as well which seems to be the easier way. I'll do some research on that and write back my finiding in this section. It has useful routines like XTestFakeKeyEvent, XTestFakeButtonEvent, etc which will make life more easier in this task.

Note 2: Bemasc suggested I include the single character recognition (voice typing) in command mode by treating letters as commands to type out the letters and have the dictation mode exclusively for word dictation to avoid ambiguity in dictation mode for words like tee, bee etc.

'''II. Make a recording tool/activity so Users can use it to make their own language models and improve it for their own needs:'''
This tool will help users in creating new Dictionary Based Language Models. They can use this to create language models in their own language and further extend the abilities of the service by training the Speech Recognition Engine.

The tool will have an interface similar to the one shown in the screenshot at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Speech_to_Text (this was built in Qt and was a very simple tool). Our tool will of course follow the Sugar UI look-n-feel as it will be an acitivty built in PyGTK. It'll have a language model browser/manager and will allow modification of existing models. Users can type in the words, define their pronunciations and record the samples all within the tool itself.

Ans: I have been working on speech recognition for XO since November last year. My research has helped me understand the requirements on this project. I have made some progress as shown in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Speech_to_Text which wiill help me in this project. I am also familiar with the development environment.

Apart from this, I have worked on a few real life projects ( some open source as mentioned above and an Internship in HCL Infosystems) including one GSoC project for Fedora which has taught me how to work within the stipulated timeframe and accomplish the task.

Q3. '''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
Q3. '''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
Ans: My mother tongue is Telugu and I was born and brought up in New Delhi where Hindi is the local language. This communication gap made me struggle in school in my Nursery and Prep classes when the kids are not very good with English. My nursery teacher Mrs. Sengupta noticed that I used to be alone and would coome and play with me often. I used to talk to her in Telugu and even though she never really understood what I am saying, she always listened and nodded. Gradually, I learnt Hindi too and was able to interact with everyone but that initial phase when my teacher had been so sweet left a lasting impact. All my school life, I was never afraid to go upto them and ask them a lot of questions. In retrospect, I realize how much I would have bothered them with my silly doubts but thankfully, they were all very good to me and even taught me a lot of stuff beyond the curriculum. This also gave me the aptitude to learn new languages much more quickly.
