Hi all,

It may be useful to check out the following project 
at sourceforge for this purpose.

Sphinx is a speaker-independent large vocabulary
continuous speech
recognizer under Berkeley's style license. It is also
a collection of
open source tools and resources that allows
researchers and developers
to build speech recognition systems.
