You might want to check out the web page: http://leb.net/ddlinux/
which is about open source speech recognition:

There also the link to: http://linuxtoday.com/stories/1540.html
It's an interview with corel, and there is a brief mention about 
word perfect 9 with speech recognition.  As I believe they use dagonspeak,
this seems to apply they (or some other company) will port it to linux..

Assuming this is done in a way others can use it, we would then have two
speech recognition packages to choose from, plus any open source ones that
come along..
