Aren't there many other threads on this topic already? We really need to get more focused.

Pocketsphinx works on n900 from http://0xab.com/?p=93

Need to enable repository from instructions there, and then you're in for some effort to make it work. Need to build your own UI, which isn't too hard, but time consuming. AFAIK, nobody's packaged up a nice GUI yet.

I'd really like to be able to plug pocketsphinx into emacs for dictation/command execution. You could send SMS and call contacts easily this way. http://sumoudou.org/%E7%9B%B8%E6%92%...U%20Emacs.html The easiest way I can think of doing this is using a language model that simulates a keyboard, but haven't kludged this up yet, nor seen anyone else who has.

Pocketsphinx also works well on n8xx from what I've seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEUeJb6Pwt4 ...but this is still far from the usability of google's cloud based speech recognition. Nice that you don't have to send it all over the web though, and it's much more open/configurable if you have the time/effort.
