This video tutorial shows how to add speech recognition to a simple dictation application. You can cut-n-paste the source code by clicking here: Source Code for Speech Recognition

Note: Actually, the above link for source code is now outdated. You can find several examples of source code for using speech recognition at: Programming Speech in WPF – Speech Recognition; Sample Source Code for Speech Developers; and Fun with Speech Recognition in WPF.

If you do not have Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1, you must download and install it for this application to work. You can download it by clicking here: Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1

By far, the best hosting company that I have found for .NET applications is Discountasp.net. Discountasp.net provides many SQL tools that make it easy to remotely manage your sql database directly from your computer that other hosting companies like GoDaddy do not.
