For that matter, check out Tellme.  1-800-555-TELL   

Speaker-independent automatic speech recognition, when implemented properly,
is VERY good right now.  However, good ASR is usually fairly expensive.  Do
not confuse desktop speech recognition applications like Dragon Dictate and
Via Voice with telco-grade ASR engines like Nuance, SpeechPearl/Speechworks,
Loquendo, etc.

Tellme has a developer platform that you can use to experiment with
VoiceXML, TTS, and ASR.  You create the "voice applications" on their
website, and can access them via the PSTN or SIP.

I, for one, would love to have the ability to use ASR engines with Asterisk.
I think a good start would be a Sphinx/Asterisk integration project.
