IBM DeveloperWorks: Whistle while you work

[ Thanks to BlueVoodoo for this link. ]

"For many years, computer users have been able to run processor-intensive speech recognition applications executing commands based on voice processing and requiring extensive configuration. While recent advances in processing power and algorithms have brought about user-independent voice recognition with reduced error rates, excellent opportunities exist for a simple tone pattern-based recognition system. Using the recently released sndpeek program to do the sophisticated processing, we will run a simple Perl program to allow for the easy generation of tonal codes. A Perl script will be presented to allow the user to customize the tonal input and detection environment."
