There are some things that are supposed to be able to cut through noise
well for limited vocabularies.  But, it is an area that would require
much research.  This isn't an immediate plan.  Just a long distant
dream.

On a related note though, has anyone tried CMU Sphinx?  It is a free
voice recognition system, but it doesn't look easy to build, and they
don't seem to have .debs.  I want to try it someday, but I've never felt
I've had time based on ther percieved difficulty.
