Please describe the feature request:

Dragon Mobile is apparently freely available.

You know, I'd love to, but it's not really free.  The free SDK has the 
following limitations in the license agreement:

2.  LICENSE GRANT.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Nuance grants you a 
personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Software 
to develop one or more applications to install on a Product and to access the 
Service via the Product, subject to the following limitations:
(a) to no more than one (1) concurrent connection;
(b) to connections from no more than 3 unique devices per day;
(c) to daily volume not to exceed 100 transactions per day; and
(d) to a ninety (90) day term from your acceptance of this Agreement (the 
"Term");

So it's really more like a trial.  They also require you to give each end user 
a unique ID so they can track them individually, which I'm not a fan of.  I 
really would like a system where the speech recog occurs on the device rather 
than on a remote network server.  Since Frotz' games have limited dictionaries, 
this should in theory be much easier to accomplish than full English language 
recognition.

There has been news lately that Apple is going to license Nuance technology for 
some built-in features in iOS, and I'm anxiously awaiting that.

With TTS/Voiceover and voice recognition, this would be a completely hands-free 
experience.
