FaceFX is using the exact same voice recognition library as what I used in FaceRobot. Of course, workflow is more important than voice recognition tech,
The di-o-matic guy is quite friendly, we've talked a few time. It's his own custom voice recongnition engine. He's here in Montreal. It's worth talking to them. He might have dropped the XSI plugin due to lack of interest, I don't know. I've never heard anyone talk about the plugin. It says up to Softimage 2013. If you're a cheap bastard with loads of free time, you can get the data out of face robot with the ImportSpeech command without ever using Face Robot. But phoneme recognition is a tiny part of facial recognition and that's probably not worth the trouble. there is lip sync stuff in Motion Builder too, if you have the suite.
