Randy, I share your interest in this topic, and I wonder if there  
aren't many people who are creatures of habit enough that they don't  
care about evolution of software currently in this area, or they are  
satisfied to direct their desire for exciting products toward other  
areas of greater importance to them. At the present time, maybe use of  
a keyboard for input is sufficient for most computer users and they  
don't expect that much in the way of existing speech recognition  
development to take place. There doesn't seem to be much razzmatazz on  
the topic when upgrades to existing capabilities do come out, and  
possibly a quantum increase in computational power is required before  
a useful speech recognition system finally comes out that performs for  
them on a more suitable level.
