Speech Recognition Software

Hi,
Sorry for multiple postings, but I wasn't quite sure which list to 
direct this question to.

I was wondering if anyone knows SuSE's current intentions towards Speech 
Recognition Software?
I know that most of the distributions used to package ViaVoice, but this 
has now become defunct.I am interested to know if SuSE or KDE are going 
to try to work with any other recognition toolkit for linux in the near 
future.
If SuSE or any of the large linux groups have chosen a speech 
recongition toolkit, then it tgives the rest of us in research a large 
indiction of which software to expect to become readily available.

In some recent reading, I see CMU Sphinx as being one promising toolkit, 
but it is limited in a curent lack of multi-lingual support. In 
particular there is no readily available German Acoustic model, and a 
sizeable amount of effort would be required to put one together by 
trained linguists.

I would be very grateful for any information or comments you might have 
on this topic.

yours

robert ross
