Even if there was one, I don;t think it would do you much good
in XP, without third part software to create and tune voice data and establish 
a grammar.  

That said, I find with SAPI 5.1 installed on an even older system I can get my 
hands on the COM object that would allow monitoring voice behaviour, 

local ISR = com.create_object("SAPI.SpSharedRecognizer") 

(long discussion of woes of trying to use it at 
 http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic26841-90.html; I suspect it's 
 of no use outside Vista/7).

Even if you had voice data configured, at the moment COM plugin doesn't respond 
to events, and this looks like a classic place you need them (COM plugin needs 
to be informed when a word is recognised...).  I'll get around to events 
someday...

Meantime, cheap and cheerful and maybe even useful voice recognition:

e-Speaking Voice and Speech Recognition 3.7.9

The Real Stuff (e.g. Naturally Speaking aka Dragon Dictate) costs lots.
