Simon Installation 3: Windows: It Works

I'm just tried to install the compiled version of Simon on windows and it's working pretty well. Finally, Simon does what I tell him to do. Also, I made this video: Testing Simon. In this video I was just trying it and, surprisingly, Simon wrote in the browser the commands that I gave. "show places" and "programs" commands did not work, because they are commands of scenarios that I'm not installed yet.

The thing here is that the Simon's scenarios doesn't have the AT-SPI plug-in that allow us to connect Simon with another application that have AT-SPI as a plug-in too. In order to get the connection between these application we have to, in some way, enable this plug-in in the windows version of Simon.

Also, to turning Simon into a real dictation system, first of all, the Simon's developers needed to hack Simond a bit to accept and use an n-gram based language model instead of the scenarios grammar when the first was available. With this little bit of trickery, Simon was already able to use the models they built in the last weeks. More info here.
