We have a solution that integrates speech control with mplayer.
Speech is managed with SAPI, media with mplayer from the mplayer project.
i can give you the tcl code for the shared recognizer; we use a
customized inproc version. Will give you some examples. However, too much to
show here. Would be happy to share the code if you would like. email
me at wheeldog99@yahoo.com.
