I'm planning to learn the API for a home automation project. See http://hackaday.com/2009/02/14/voice-controlled-home-automation/ for examples (though he uses Windows' proprietary HAS API).

I just installed it, and it gives pretty good results, a lot better than from what I remember of the nineties. Learn something new every day. Thanks. That is awesome.

Run Festival on STDOUT and pipe it to a file. Can't compare with the professionally recorded readings, of course, but it helps when you're reading and driving the car at the same time.
