Hi
Could someone recommend a Speech Recognition Library?
I wish to incorporate speech recognition.
Specifically 1 word recognition.
Like my XML will be populated tons of 1 word answers and I would like to be able to determine if the person said the correct word?
I'm interested in hearing about the commercial recommendations but I would be pleased to hear about those not so costly or open source

Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1
The standard edition is free, but I honestly have no idea how well it works or how to use it. On the flip side, I KNOW that the Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking engine is solid, their recognition is terrific, but when our company looked into it we found that their rates were out of control. It was about $7000 US just to get started, plus a cut of any sale and large mandatory ongoing support fees.
I have looked a couple times for a good open source solution, but haven't really come across anything.
