[gentoo-user] voice or touch data entry apps

[James]

Hello,

I'm looking for special types of applications that allow 
for data entry, via voice commands or using the touch screen
on a  touch screen enabled laptop.

KDE4 is my preferred desktop, but any application that 
will run on kde4 and gentoo is of interest. Is there
anything like this out there? My specific application
is for live data entry into some form of interface
that resembles a the kind of score sheet used manually
for stats during a basketball game.


Any ideas or resources are welcome related to software, touch screen 
enabled laptops or tablets or voice input/response are all of
keen (gentoo) interest for me.

I have gentoo on a tablet fujitsu P1610 but I've not had time to look 
into the touch screen setup. Busy now and still need to move from xorg 
1.3 to 1.5. However I intend to take a look at

app-text/xournal

as soon as I have the stylus working.

Don't know how accurate it is, but I found this article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_speech_recognition_software

It basically says "no" with regard to a complete voice recognition
software, but there are lots of incomplete projects.


As far as touchscreen, there is this video on youtube from 2006
showing touchscreen + Gentoo, so I assume it should be possible once
you find the howto (depending on exactly what you want to do with it):
