IBM's ViaVoice is what first comes to mind.
While matching a spoken phrase up to one of a small group of phrases is
easy, it's a different story to offer actual speech recognition.
Systems which do this are quite complex. Even when you exclude the
wildly differing inflections and dialects of English, you have to deal
with background noise and the fact that English has many points where
two words (they're, their) sound the same but are spelled different
depending on context.
In other words, it would be pretty difficult to make a wee app that
does dictation. Check out ViaVoice... I've never tried it but have
heard that it's a pretty decent product.

Hi all,
Ive found the speech recognition example in the developer folder, and
I would like to create a wee app that would allow me to dictate and
would pass the dictated words to TextEdit (or bbedit) <g> or the word
processor of my choice.
So my first question is:
Is there a way to create a language model that contains most of the
english language already? or do I need to find my own word list and
add it to the language model provided by SRNewLanguageModel?
<g> another question is does anyone know of a simple wee application
that already does something similar to this that I could use instead?
Yours cheerfully,
