DragonFly - no external application?

Question

Context

I'm working with DragonFly, the python module. At this point, I just want speech recognized and outputted back to me.

Question

I'm wondering if there is a way to use DragonFly purely for voice recognition without going through Windows Speech Recognition (or any alternative program). Is Dragonfly only meant for "post-speech-recognition"?

The examples I've seen and run all open up windows speech recognition. I've also looked into the old speech recognition module - pySpeech, but that also "borrows" windows speech recognition.

Should I be looking towards other modules?

Answer 1

DragonFly uses the shared recognizer, which starts Windows Speech Recognition. If you modify DragonFly to use an inproc recognizer, Windows Speech Recognition will not start. (Unfortunately, I don't know enough Python to contribute a fix.)
