Microsoft is now offering Microsoft Recite, a search technology for voice that
runs on Windows Mobile devices. With Microsoft Recite, the human voice can store, search and retrieve information. Microsoft Recite is available
as a free technology preview beginning February 16, 2009.
Microsoft Recite uses voice pattern matching.
It analyzes the patterns in speech and finds matches between two
recordings -- the notes stored on the phone, and voice search. Recite can store thousands of spoken notes which can be retrieved by matching
search term(s).
This is different from speech recognition, which has to accurately convert spoken words to application-readable input.
Microsoft Recite technology preview information is available at http://recite.microsoft.com.Nokia will use Nuance's mobile input solutions to provide new forms of user interactions with voice and text.

Through a series of open programming interfaces, language models and development tools, those partners will have access to a vibrant and dynamic environment where mobile innovation around advanced multi-modal consumer interactions can flourish.

application for BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM) , offering a complete
voice-powered interface based entirely on vlingo’sspeech
