Yes, you could write a Simond client (TCP/IP protocol) or use
libsimonrecognizer directly.<br>

No. Basically, you set up a KDE on Windows development environment
with emerge (

<a

Then just run "emerge simon".<br>
<br>
That sounds easy but in practice there are often a lot of hurdles to
solve before getting past building kde-runtime or even qt in some
cases.<br>
<br>
YMMV, obviously.<br>

Not really, no.<br>
<br>
To sum up: Yes, you can write 3rd party applications that take
advantage of Simon, but for your particular purpose, you probably
shouldn't.<br>
