There hasn't been much activity on this list for some time, so I thought 
I'd pass on the announcement for the latest PocketSphinx release. 
Packages are in my PPA, I'd like some assistance getting them into 
Ubuntu, whichever version is possible (probably Lucid+1?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We are pleased to announce the long-awaited PocketSphinx 0.6 release, 
including SphinxBase 0.6.  This release corresponds to SVN revision 9898.

PocketSphinx is a small-footprint continuous speech recognition system, 
freely licensed under a simplified BSD license, suitable for handheld 
and desktop applications.  It features:

    * Cross-platform: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, iPhoneOS
    * Experimental support for Nokia S60v3 and Windows Mobile
    * Support for semi-continuous, phonetically-tied, and fully 
continuous acoustic models
    * Model footprint on disk of about 10MB per language
    * Memory footprint under 20MB for medium-vocabulary continuous 
recognition
    * Trigram language models and JSGF finite-state grammars
    * Acoustic models for English and Mandarin
    * Small language models for English and Mandarin (simplified and 
traditional characters)
    * Python language bindings
    * GStreamer multimedia framework integration
