I would like to install Simon Voice recognition software on Ubunu 18.04

I can't find an easy way to install Simon voice recognition software on Ubuntu 18.04. What is the easiest way?



If you know an alternative that can be installed on Debian or Ubuntu let me know. Wrist problems and a voice recognition to control my station would be more than welcome.

Since simon was dropped from the 18.04 repositories, installation is not easy, and requires downloading its source code and compiling it. This is non-trivial.



Alternatives? CMUsphinx is just a toolkit which simon uses, and freespeech AKA OpenMindSpeech is less. julius, another toolkit simon uses, exists and is in the 18.04 repositories, but is nowhere near as well documented as simon. Installing julius is simple: open a terminal window and type in



sudo apt-get install julius


Should you find julius wanting, this article goes into great detail on an alternative through Google Docs.

It's no longer in the repositories for 18.04 and hence you need to compile it from source. First pull it from the git repo using



git clone git://anongit.kde.org/simon simonsource


Install the build dependencies



sudo apt-get install cmake kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-dbg kdelibs5-dev


And then build it



cd simonsource
./build_ubuntu.sh
