IMO the best open source option is pocket sphinx. It is in the repositories

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pocketsphinx

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/pocketsphinx-utils

http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately the commercial options are better in that the have larger and more specialized dictionaries and more features.

  • I did that already but I cannot find any new installed app in the menu. Sep 29, 2012 at 6:02
  • IOW, how do I launch the app? Sep 29, 2012 at 6:04
  • I believe it is a command line tool.
