While surfing the cepstral site, I stumbled across a open source speech recognition system.

http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/

It mentioned it was a decent candidate for embedded devices. Is this useful at all for the empeg? Any speech recognition experts around?

If you'd like to have a chance to try out an application that uses CMU Sphinx , try the Communicator, an experimental system that helps you plan air travel. You can reach it at the toll-free number 1-877-CMU-PLAN (1-877-268-7526) or at +1 412 268 1084.. The system will provide real flight information.
