For speech recognition, software is only part of the problem and,
fundamentally, the easiest one (take the algorithms, implement them,
optimize/debug at will).  The real problem is the data needed to build
the models to feed the algorithms.  There isn't as far as I know any
reasonable set of corpus available under an open source license usable
to build a decent speech recognizer.  Which makes open source speech
recognition something not doable yet.
