Your reply intrigued me. I worked with Nuance about 20 years ago, around the time VoiceXML was being created. I was writing code in a language that was one of the precursors of VoiceXML, and then for a while I was writing code that generated VoiceXML for telehony user interfaces and that depended on Nuance. I even wrote a VoiceXML interface to Zork that used Nuance. The user could say stuff like, 'Go east', 'use axe', etc. It was pretty silly but you could play original Zork via the telephone :) 20 years ago people were talking about the big money in voice recognition being in enterprise call centers. And so it's interesting to me that this is still the big market force.
