Android 2.1 actually integrates this whole process into all text fields but it still uses the server side element. I believe the server side is actually licensed from Nuance or one of those other speech recognition companies, this(licensing) would be why they don't want to include it on the client side more than likely. Your idea could work. You would want to do all of the speech analysis using the NDK, the problem with that is that as far as I can tell you can't access any of the database API from the NDK so you would have to call back into java side to populate the database, also I imagine the database would be fairly large so you would want it on the SD card.

Instead running recognition solely on the device which could allow gradual recognition improvement via pattern database population?
