It looks interesting, but doesn't answer any questions about who is using it, and who is standing behind it, and what it costs, and how it would be supported.
OK for experimental work, perhaps, but I couldn't feel comfortable using that in a production environment. The thing that really blows me away about google is how well their speech rec works. I use it on my 'droid all the time, and it just totally stuns me how good it is (especially in noisy conditions, which it almost seems to ignore). I just wish they had a more formal support for it (i.e. I could pay them and they would officially agree to support the particular application of it). Also, that they would support me sending them valid grammar so that I could narrow down to a few dozen words what would be valid for that API call. Nevertheless, thanks for the info!
