Codethink currently has a small research project around this area,
looking at what kind of functionality a decent speech API would require.
James Thomas (CC'd) who has a lot of experience in this area is heading
it up. I'll be sure to report our results to the list.

As Dave mentioned, CMU Sphinx is certainly very impressive and good
first port of call. One thing I can say from the off-set is if you want
general speaker recognition, you want to have a limited grammar. Even
NaturallySpeaking can't do decent continuous-speech recognition without
some speaker training. For text-to-speech there are a number of existing
framework projects from the A11y world should be reviewed for
suitability, like kttsd, OpenTTS and speech-dispatcher.

HTH,
