Speech Recognition update

Update:
The speech recognition thing works quite well. More training has helped it improve accuracy.

However, there is one issue that needs to be fixed before I can have it replace typing for large text entry. The fact that it is slow.
I can type (and hence input data) faster than it takes to listen to my voice (which has to be at a controlled pitch and speed) and then transcribe it totext.

Also, I find that I'm not used to dictating stuff to my computer and hence end up with lots of junk input in addition to the main text. Typing is more focused and controlled input of data in my case.
