I find it amusing you use such aggressive phrases to describe something that hasn't failed but rather has been a target of little interest. And it has nothing to do with Linux.

I don't think it's accurate to say it has been of little interest. Kindles have text to speech and they are based on Linux, for example.

It has nothing to do with Linux because Linux is no one thing (at least, not in common parlance.)
Text to speech is different from speech to text (voice recognition.) TTS has been a solved problem for a while, and there are numerous solutions in Linux. Speech to text is much more difficult and requires more specialized knowledge that doesn't have much presence or interest in the various open source communities.
Heck there's a whole article on it at Wikipedia:

There are actually things happening in the voice recognition area on Maemo right now. Look here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=72565
But, maybe Kenny was a wise man!
Maybe, he is creating his own voice to text software, and has just posted a comment using his dictation!! who knows...
Speaking of that what are the best opensource voice-to-text source codes out there??? It will be great to start a garage project that can bring it out (and rival Google's). Me included.
