Voice recognition works but few companies are actively researching it. That and also standardization. Once these hurdles are overcome, then we may see some real progress.

This is off topic but..
Try integrating voice recognition on Linux with ViaVoice modules. I even had a test installation that ViaVoice recognition engine for logging in. Was really cool at the time to have my computer log me in with voice command in full view of all my colleagues. Not practical cos the engine itself was far from perfect. Subsequent engines have been phenomenal, compared to the miniscule amount of processing power Linux actually uses. Currently there are many such programs like
Xvoice, CVoiceControl
In addition, stuff that we havent
IBM, has been kind enough to lend its ViaVoice engines from its troubled OS/2 release for OpenSource development.

IMO the OSS is the onethat is doing so much away from the limelight of the expensive and shrinkwrapped boxes you see on shelves.
