Introduction</A></H2> <P> <P>CVoiceControl is a tool that gives the user voice control over unix commands. A template matching based <B>speaker dependent</B> isolated word recognition approach is employed. <P> <P>Note, that isolated word does <B>not</B> necessarily mean <B>one single</B> word. It just describes a class of recognition systems among <UL> <LI>Isolated word</LI> <LI>Connected words</LI> <LI>Continuous speech</LI> <LI>Spontaneous speech</LI> </UL> <P><B>Consider the following example:</B> <P>CVoiceControl knows five utterances (being connected to appropriate commands ...) <P> <UL> <LI><EM>connect to internet</EM></LI> <LI><EM>netscape communicator</EM></LI> <LI><EM>one xterm please</EM></LI> <LI><EM>launch emacs NOT VI!</EM></LI> <LI><EM>how are you today?</EM></LI> </UL> <P>In this example the recognition vocabulary consists of five ``words'' (=utterances) that can only be recognized one at a time, i.e you <B>cannot</B> connect the words to build ``sentences'' like ``<EM>how are you today?</EM> please launch <EM>netscape communicator</EM> and <EM>connect to internet</EM>''! <P><B>Important Note:</B> <P> <P>As mentioned above you do not need to use one single word as an utterance - and it is strongly recommended to use <B>longer sequences</B> !!!!! This is due to the underlying concept of this recognition system: template matching. Thus, if you use short commands like say <EM>xterm</EM> and <EM>xedit</EM> confusability will increase significantly and therefore recognition accuracy will drop rapidly!!! <P> <H2><A NAME="ss1.1">1.1 Changes</A> </H2> <P> <P> <H2><A NAME="ss1.2">1.2 Mailing List</A> </H2> <P> <P>There is a mailing list for CVoiceControl (and KVoiceControl) which is mainly used for announcements.
