FreeBSD probably does relate to your project.

It costs time and effort.

It supports a few applications.

In essence, "the software" allows a human (bark recognition
software might be in the works somewhere, I do not know) to
use the machine within the constraints of a certain set of the
universe of possibilities.  In other words, it can help you process
text.  It probably is of no use if you wish to drive nails into sheet-
rock with the machine.
