That being the case, we'll need to either stick with either Julius and
its vague license although from previous interpretations and given that
it's available in the Ubuntu repositories, it has to be GPL.
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-March/msg01768.html).
I personally want us to stick to CMU Sphinx for the time-being because
from what I'm reading about improving speech recognition of one's voice
(http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialadapt); if we can
automate this process in a simply efficient way for the end-user, then
speech recognition should not be a problem. I plan on recording a before
and after video of my attempts to use CMU Sphinx and report it to the team.

BUT, leoquant, I still want you to take a look at their work. Perhaps
they're willing to license it to us under GPL for a good cause.
