Voice Recognition

[JohnGaltCPP]

Bottom Line: I want to port into a voice recogntion program, prompt for a phrase and then return the text inrpretation back to C++ as a string. How reasonable is this? I will not accept defeat, but I want to know what to expect and see if anyone has any pointers.
Explaination:
I am a fairly novice pogrammer with one summer of corporate expereience in C++/VB. I am currently teaching myself an independent study in C++ in high school. I am finally at the point where I can do some fun stuff, and I want to try to get voice recognition into one of my progams.

I a not ready to start from scrath so I want to try to port into a VRecognition prgram from C++ and then send the text back to c++ for further functions. IF ANYONE knows anything about these pssibilities I would love to know even if it means...well. Just Email me at BSMTENNIS@aol.com if you have ANY suggestions. Thanks.

there are a couple of free options and there are a few libraries you can try for free. Check out SpeechStudio from Microsoft which has a free trial out now.
