Basically I tried to pitch the concept of an ASP based speech recognition SIP service to Tellme back in 2005 as a JV in that they provided the software and ports and I (eg investors) provided the servers and bandwidth. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/tellme
In 2006 they came out with a JV with Skype doing exactly this (it went no where). Now that Tellme have been acquired by Microsoft there is no way they will bring this about. What I was trying to achieve is the ability for any Asterisk server to have access to an immensely scalable Speech recognition engine (think Amazon EC2 but this was before this service was available). Anyone would be able to write an application and 'pre-pay' for a block of minutes for as little as $10 and then when a call comes in to your asterisk server via voip or tdm on your premises it could be routed via the internet using sip off to the central cpu servers for speech-rec processing but the minutes would only accrue while they were connected, once the call was 'rerouted' to it's destination the charges wouldn't be incurred (eg you might only use 30 seconds at a time). So far I haven't found a speech rec vendor interested in setting this up - they continue to complain that the asterisk market is too small.
