    Hi
    as @Naveen_D says you will need an external lib and which one also depends on what platforms you want to support?

        hi
        for any external lib , one should go and look at build info for the platform that is wanted.

        Lets see for windows:

        https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx

        Seems to use on windows, you must have V Studio 2010 or newer installed for this lib.
        So for it to work for you , you should have Qt for VS version installed. exact version. (2010,2012,2013,2015)

        Then after you made the LIB to build. That is, it produces .DLL or .LIB files

        Then you will include in your own Qt project
        http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-qmake-libraries.html

        Check all paths in the .pro file. If it gives errors, check forum. plenty of posts about using a lib/dll.

        Now you are ready to try use the functions it gives. :)

        So a key thing to understand is that the external lib and the Qt version your are using - should been made by same compiler.
        So if you are using mingw compiler, using a Visual Studio DLL won't work and reverse.

              If you mean the pocketsphinx-master.zip , its the source code.

              On windows, you will use the pocketsphinx.sln to compile.
              Then you get DLLS etc. ( the resulting library)

              There seems to be no precompiled binaries so its up to you to make them.

              Note. you must compile both on windows and linux. You cannot
              use libs from windows in linux and reverse.

                    Yes, first step is to get it to compile. Either in Creator or in Visual Studio .
                    That will produce DLL/LIB file.

                    Then you will make new project ( your project) and add this DLL/LIB to it.

                    • linux also i need to use pocketsphinx.sln ?
                      No. for linux , there is other build instructions.
                      $ ./autogen.sh
                      $ ./configure
                      $ make clean all
                      $ make check
                      $ sudo make install
                      --
                      SLN files are for visual studio.

                    There is no visual studio on linux.

                        Well the pc or device
                        must have soundcard and a microphone but other than that,
                        there should be nothing stopping you to run as a Desktop app.

                        I used this on pc

                        Its brilliant.

                            it was as example of voice Recognition on the desktop :)

                            The best i ever tried. It worked flawless even when multiple people speaking!

                            They even do allow others to use

                            So i just mentioned it for a sample of VR that truly works :)

                                @Naveen_D Yes, pocketsphinx for example which @mrjj already suggested. Or do you want to implement it by yourself?

                                    Hi,

                                    Just in case, there's a speech recognition branch in the QtSpeech module that's current work in progress but might be interesting for you.

                                      Hello everyone

                                      my question is do I need to install CMU-SPHINX first and then pocketsphinx ? or there is any other way for installing pocketsphinx in ubuntu?

                                      Naveen_D

                                          @mrjj i have installed cmu-sphinx and pocketsphinx using the instructions given in this link http://jrmeyer.github.io/installation/2016/01/09/Installing-CMU-Sphinx-on-Ubuntu.html is it correct ?

                                          If yes, where i will get the lib of this and how to use this lib to make use of voice recognition ?

                                          Naveen_D
