Speech Recognition a Reality?

"Speech recognition has arrived, quietly, and not at all in the way the science-fiction writers predicted. There’s no robotic voice and most of it isn’t in your home. The technology has turned up in reservation systems, banks, and other high-volume services. SR, as the industry calls itself, is a fast-growing, high-tech market that is nowhere near maturity—one that has achieved credibility with both consumers and financiers, and which may eventually become ubiquitous."
