Revision 10. </p> <p>How to use the speech module to use speech recognition and text-to-speech in Windows XP or Vista.</p> <p>The voice recognition system can listen for specific phrases, or it can listen for general dictation.</p> <p>You can use speech.input() like you would use raw_input(), to wait for spoken input and get it back as a string. Or, you can set up a callback function to be run on a separate thread whenever speech events are heard. Multiple callbacks can be set up for multiple speech recognition events.</p> <p>Uses the Python speech module: <a href="http://pyspeech.googlecode.com" rel="nofollow">http://pyspeech.googlecode.com</a> .</p>
