Emacspeak is a text-to-speech system for emacs. This means that it will
turn contents of emacs buffers into speech. However, it is not a speech
recongition system, so it cannot respond to spoken commands or any form
of speech input. 

There have been posts regarding this in the past, but I have no real
information. The last time I looked at this sort of thing, sphinx2 was
suggested as a general speech recognition interface for Linux. IBM also
had a version of thier ViaVoice Dictation speech recognition interface,
but I don't know what the status of that is.
