The thing that is really interesting about an
open-source voice recognition package is that you 
should be able able to start thinking about self-adaptive 
improvements using festival, the open-source speech synthesizer.

You should be able to fix one to speak with more articulation, 
or fix the other to recognize the idiocyncracies of the first. 
In any case, starting to share language data between to two 
projects might be a valuable research topic!
