Usually this is relegated to utility software -- Dragon Naturally 
Speaking[1] is one of the most popular.  They tend to do more 
reliably (higher recognition rates) with fixed vocabularies for 
issuing commands than in free-form dictation.

There's the open-source CMU Sphinx project[2] which may allow you 
to more easily interact with it programatically via an API.  On 
my Debian box, it's just an apt-get away[3].  Note that this is 
*different* from the python-sphinx documentation package just 
mentioned in a nearby thread on c.l.p

There's documentation[4] on connecting Python + Sphinx2 that may 
be of assistance.
