Hi Kyle,
Unfortunately, not Linux -- nobody has written a speech engine for Linux yet
that I'm
aware of. I don't own a Mac to do the necessary research into how to hook into
a
Mac's Speech engine, but I would absolutely love patches! ;)

There are several projects devoted to speech synthesis and recognition on Linux.
This works pretty well for TTS:

I got all these from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_speech_recognition_software
http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/html/cmusphinx.php
http://julius.sourceforge.jp/en_index.php
http://freespeech.sourceforge.net/
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeVoiceControl
This is the microsoft algorithm used to learn speech. It is free, but cannot be
redistributed: http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/ It works with Linux.
IBM ViaVoice used to be free, and was the best recognition engine that I have
used,
but has been discontinued.
Also, it is possible to use programs such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 in
Linux by
utilizing Wine, though some problems will arise

As for mac, it's pretty easy to say stuff:

I think the speech recognition stuff requires some apple-scripting, but I could
be
wrong. Here is a cool video:

Hi David, thanks for all of the data! I don't care too much about getting TTS
to
work, as pyTTS is really the package to use for precise voice synthesis; speech
recognition is what this package is really about.
Again, as I don't have a Mac, I'd appreciate anybody who could send me a Python
snippet that registered a callback for speech events.
As for Linux, when I did my research a few weeks back I got the impression that
Sphinx was nowhere near ready for prime time. It looks like I'll have to do
more
digging :)
