Google opens access to its speech recognition API

I'm reading many libraries here, I wonder what's the best open and multi platform software for spech recognition to code with vim, Atom etc. I only saw a hybrid system working with dragon + Python on Windows. I would like to train/ customize my own system since I'm starting to have pain in tendons, and wrists. Do you think this Google Api can make it? Not being local looks like a limiting factor for speed, lag.

Nothing out of the box as far as I know. You'll have to DIY.

Have a look at CMUSphinx/Pocketsphinx [1]. I wrote a comment about training it for command recognition in a previous discussion[2].

It supports BNF grammar based training too [3], so I've a vague idea that it may be possible to use your programmming language's BNF to make it recognize language tokens. I haven't tried this out though.

Either way, be prepared to spend some time on the training. That's the hardest part with sphinx.

Also, have you seen this talk for doing it on Unix/Mac [4]? He does use natlink and dragonfly, but perhaps some concepts can be transferred to sphinx too?
