Speech recognition is the understanding of the spoken word by technology, and the implementation of various actions based on the understood words. There aren't that many speech recognition companies out there, and many of the the ones that do trade publicly are not generating positive earnings. Many of them are very low cap and should therefore be considered very speculative.
Here are some worth hearing about:
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NUAN) is a Massachusetts based company which is a provider of speech and imaging solutions, including voice-activated services, transformation of speech into written words and controlling devices and applications by speaking. They purchased SpeechWorks, which worked closely with America Online, in 2003. They have a price to sales ratio of 6.74, a forward P/E ratio 26, and a price earnings to growth ratio of 1.49.
