Can Anyone suggest good open source software tools/languages which can extract intent from very large voice clips ? Ex: extract intent from an hour long voice clp

What do you mean by intent? If you want some sort of probabilistic lie detector, there isn't any reliable one out there, and the unreliable ones are proprietary. Also, none that I'm aware of would work on long speeches or something, voice stress analyzers work by trying to detect changes in vocalization when someone is asked a question they'd rather not answer or somesuch. Evidence for their efficacy is sketchy at best.

As an example if we attend an hour long meeting -we might have many outcomes from it...say take-away items,status updates,status of something etc..These are all some actions/intent that can do something. Now,we are looking for something which can understand human language and extract these actions from a hour long meeting recording
