Looking For Waveform Search Software For Voice

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

perhaps you could find a voice recognition program which would pick out the
words and then just play the audio into your soundcard's input. This would
probably be much simpler than finding special software.....i forget the name
of the programming environment (four letter acronym i believe) but
microsoft's voice recognition system is VERY flexible and allows you to
basically code any kind of VR software you want using underlying
technology....good luck!

I believe the technical phrase that describes what you want is:

"Speaker-independent recognition of continuous speech"

Here are papers and articles that discuss this:
