This, and the other comments about the poor state of open-source speech recognition, are very disappointing. Until now, I'd assumed the voice input on Android was open source. But if so it could clearly be taken and integrated into desktop apps like this. How does it actually work? Is it a closed-source plugin? Does it send a recording of what you say to a Google API?

The Voice Recognition is 1) part of the Google apps (the Google Search app) which are mostly not open source and 2) send the input to google to get analyzed

  On Android 4.0 (afaik) the voice recognition is offline! But surely still a non-free Google app. :(
