Telephone voice quality isn't good enough for dictation with
the current generation of speech recognizers. Restricting
the vocabulary and grammar makes it possible to get very
good results. I recommend you get some practical experience
with the free developer services offered by several VoiceXML
companies. These let you test out you VoiceXML applications
downloading the VoiceXML and related files from your own
Web server.
