Speech Recognition With Http Server?

The ability to display and control ARC (which is in a PC) using the internet and an iPad, etc, is really impressive. However, I searched and found no mention of remote speech control in that manner.

As a note I'll move further examples of random things I come up with into the C# forum. I...

What Microphone For ARC?
