[MV] java programs

[John Richardson]

Hello,

I did not review the blog.

Agreed. What Chuck says makes sense anyway.

Next comments are from a several years in the past PC Java project. There is
also the issue of the engine. The IBM Java speech SDK was expensive. It was
also PC only since the Java still needed DLL's and JNI support. Now, I can't
assume that the DLL's had a speed problem. However, the Mac would require
JNI support for the engine. That will probably never happen. This also
assumes that IBM is updating the SDK as the latest JDK's appear. So it is a
non issue.

Java is not cross platform. It is "about as cross platform as it gets" or
"good enough for government cross platform".

Steph (and everyone else):

I just reviewed the blog referenced below, and most of what is
reference is text-to-speech, not speech-to-text. There is a vague
reference to speech recognition in connection with Linguist, which is a
programming system built in Java - but it is not conventional speech
recognition.

Basically, Java does not have the complex tools, or the speed to deal
with near real-time speech recognition.
