There is an Speech SDK you can download from Microsoft.

I assume that this has all the objects you need to accomplish this.

This technology isnt great yet to say the least. Play areound wiht speech recognition on WXP to see what I mean.

Get the Microsoft Speech SDK and include the Microsoft Speech Recognition component (XListen.dll) Then experiment!

The Microsoft Speech SDK also includes sample VB apps.
