speech2JOSM

Prototype of an external tool, that controls the Java OpenStreetMap editor by your voice. So you don't need to pick the most common OSM tagging presets manually and can speedup your tagging without interrupting your geometry editing.

limitations

• false positives detected esp. with noise
• number of recognized tags is pretty limited
• only english language
• no numeric / ... custom values
• JOSM control limited to tagging features only

• python speech2josm.py
• wait and say 'footway' and confirm JOSM security dialog

tech

• Python 2 script
• Pocketsphinx native offline STT library with twigs based pocketsphinx-python binding
• n-gram based dictionary with EN-US voice modell
