Voice control over desktop environment
I would like to enable a system that can respond to user voice commands and run scripts according to the verbal command GIVEN.
Ideally, I would like for the computer to be listening constantly.
Once it hears the buzz word "Computer" it will activate and listen for commands for 10 seconds (or so).
Once active, and while it's listening, I would like for another set of buzz words to be able to run scripts.
For instance....
(Computer is idle) "Computer" (computer immediately listens) "Access new MESSAGES" (MESSAGES being buzz word *IGNORES "ACCESS NEW" -- computer runs a script and opens evolution or empathy). There could be one for browser, one for closing windows and showing desktop, or a bunch of stuff really.
Is this even possible?

Gnome-Voice-Control
Developed as part of Google Summer of Code 2007, this was an idea to develop some features that will improve the usability in the Gnome Desktop.
The goal is to implement a Desktop Voice Control System. The system
consists in an application that will be monitoring the audio
input(microphone) and when a significant audio signal has been
detected, the software catches, processes and recognizes the signal
and then executes the desired action over the Gnome Desktop. In a set
of actions could include maximize, minimize, close the active window;
open a specific program; switching from one desktop to another; among
others. GnomeVoiceControl is implemented in C in conjunction with CMU
Sphinx, which is an open source tool, created to convert speech to
text.
Slide-show by the authors
Unfortunately it looks like it has not developed much beyond the basic "goals" - however there does appear to be some activity adding support for new languages such as Bulgarian and Turkish this year.
To install:
sudo apt-get install gnome-voice-control
Platypus
There is an interesting looking project call platypus - basically is a linux front-end to Dragon Naturally Speaking which runs in Wine.
The claim-to-fame for this application is "it can even launch Windows or Linux programs and scripts, e.g. "start terminal".
VEDICS
This is a newish project that says it works with the Unity interface.
The project page says it recognises "run [program name]" - so in theory you [program name] could be any script you want to run.
Thank you for the exceptionally fast response. I heard about that program and I installed it, but it doesn't seem to get past configuration -- it just says "config". I'm surprised there hasn't been much work done on this front. Is there maybe a windows equivilant that I could run with wine?

the older version of gnome voice that is in synaptic gave me the same results. I tried the latest from the website and it seemed to get further but I never did get it to work properly. the manual dependancys were a pain to.

This is an open source project aimed to replace mouse and/or keyboard by speech recognition initially developed for physically disabled people.
There is a ppa from where we can install the application: ppa:grasch-simon-listens/simon
does simon only work with kde? It looks really awesome and I installed it but can't seem to get it working with gnome-shell. specially window management. If I want to show all windows for example, that is going to work differently in the kde env and gnome env right?

Dependencies should be resolved when installing on Ubuntu <=12.04 from the ppa but I haven't tried recently, and also I have no idea how it may interfere with GNOME shell. There is no version (yet) for 12.10.

Linux Speech Recognition
It is being developed to run under Linux distributions, it is very configurable and easy to extend, support custom dictionaries, context based recognition, dictation mode and configurable macros.
In order to install Linux Speech Recognition go to the project's GitHub page. Download the ZIP file and extract it.
Then install some dependencies:
sudo apt-get install sox python-argparse libsox-fmt-mp3 mutt xvkbd xautomation
Open the extracted folder (Palaver-master) in the terminal and execute the setup:
cd /~Path-to-folder~/Palaver-master/
./setup
Now it is just to assign a hotkey to enable recording, in order to do that go to System Settings... > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts click the Plus Button to add a shortcut, name it Voice Recognition and set the command to:
/~Path-to-folder~/Palaver-master/hotkey
Click apply, click over the shortcut and then assign a hotkey to activate Voice Recognition.
Notice that no stable build have been released yet, so don't expect commands to be fully functional at this stage, many phrases will be recognized, but no real action will be done.

This is an open source project aimed to replace mouse and/or keyboard by speech recognition initially developed for physically disabled people.
There is a ppa from where we can install the application: ppa:grasch-simon-listens/simon
does simon only work with kde? It looks really awesome and I installed it but can't seem to get it working with gnome-shell. specially window management. If I want to show all windows for example, that is going to work differently in the kde env and gnome env right?
