You probably mean speech recognition software, as in understanding words and sentences (as opposed to voice recognition to identify a user), which is what Dragon NS does, right? I also would like to know if there is something current for linux. Years ago, IBM ViaVoice was available for Linux. This was in the days of RedHat 7.2 if I remember correctly. If I'm not mistaken, Linux support was discontinued quite a long time ago. Nothing open source came even close to being usable. So, let's start this subject rolling, What's the status of speech recognition for Linux these days? A check of IBM's web site might be worthwhile...
