Requirements
Python
ASR-Builder requires Python 2.5. It has not been tested on previous versions of Python so it cannot be guarenteed to work correctly on previous versions of Python. It also requires the PySQlite 3 and PyQt 4 modules for Python.
Qt
ASR-Builder requires Qt. Linux users should consult their distribution's documentation for installation instructions or visit http://trolltech.com/downloads, if it is not installed on your system. Windows users can visit http://trolltech.com/downloads in order to download Qt, if you do not have it installed.
