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

No. Basically, you set up a KDE on Windows development environment with
emerge ( http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Windows/emerge).
Then just run "emerge simon".

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.

YMMV, obviously.

Not really, no.

To sum up: Yes, you can write 3rd party applications that take advantage
of Simon, but for your particular purpose, you probably shouldn't.

Best regards,
Peter
