Yes. I'd love to see that as well. It seems to take a lot of computing power, though. I know there are programs for Windows OS (Dragon Naturally Speaking, Windows Vista speech to text) but they require powerful computers or else it takes too long to execute. The OQO was able to do it with one giga of RAM, just. I believe there are some cloud based utilities that provide this, for a substantial fee, of course, and tied to certain phone providers only. Furthermore, I understand (well my understanding is based on the past few days acquaintance with maemo, so it is very limited) there currently are no voice recognition apps for / in maemo.
