[Ethan Ward <ethan.ward@mycroft.ai>]

Package: wnpp

Severity: wishlist

Package name: python-speechrecognition

Version: 3.7.1

Upstream Author:  Anthony Zhang (Uberi)

URL: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SpeechRecognition

License: BSD

Programming Lang: Python

Description:  Library for performing speech recognition, with support for several engines and APIs, online and offline.

Speech recognition engine/API support:

• CMU Sphinx (works offline)
• Google Speech Recognition
• Google Cloud Speech API

This package is a dependency of mycroft-core, another python application that I am trying to package. 

I plan to join the Debian Python Modules Team and maintain the package as a part of that team. I'd appreciate any members of that team who would be willing to help maintain the package after this initial packaging. I am also looking for a sponsor for this and future packages.
