@markba: Nee, dat is niet waar, deze spraakherkenning is helemaal niet gebouwd op de fundamenten van HUD/Dash. Misschien had je dat beter eerst even kunnen opzoeken voordat je je post plaatste?

1. Handling hotkeys
2. transcribing speech
3. Command recognition
4. The actual command scripts.
As always Google is providing the speech transcription.
Hotkeys are handled by a bash script.
Command recognition is handled by a c program that I wrote, I made it to be able to recognize many different ways of saying a command (fuzzy matching), it recognizes commands based on dictionaries that look for example like this.
<open,start,run> <f,F>irefox
open firefox
That allows someone to say open firefox, start firefox, or run firefox, and it will still run the same command.
The last part is the command scripts, these are intended to be small scripts to do one thing. They are easy to write and allow anyone to add a command to the dictionary and then make it run that script. Without ever bothering with how the the rest was done."
