just an observation about USB

["Eric S. Johansson" <esj@eggo.org>]

  update from the  NaturallySpeaking in a VM project.

  don't remember what I told you before but, yes I can now send 
keystroke events generated by speech recognition in the Windows guest 
into the Linux input queue. I can also extract information from the 
Linux side, and have it modify the grammar on the Windows side. The 
result of  activating that grammar  is that I can execute code on either 
side  in response to speech recognition commands. it's fragile as all 
hell but I'm the only one using it so far. :-)

Latency is a bit longer than I like. USB and network connections break 
every time I come out of suspend part at least I don't have to use 
Windows all the time.

  One thing is puzzling though. Windows, in idle, consume something like 
15 to 20% CPU according to top. I turn on NaturallySpeaking, the 
utilization climbs to him roughly 30 to 40%. I turn on the microphone 
and utilization jumps up to 80-110%.  In other words, it takes up a 
whole core.

I can live with it. I chalk it up to the cost of having a disability 
(a.k.a. cripple tax).

  Hope my observations are useful and if you want me to monitor 
anything, let me know and I'll try to fit it into my daily routine.
