java voice command

I'm still pretty new to java and I was thinking about making a program where the computer could listen to you talking and write what you said on word or something using the java Robot. Honestly, I have no idea where to start with this and could really use some help on this. Also, I was looking around on my computer and noticed that it does have a voice engine of some sort, is there a way I could implement that into my program?

Thanks in advance

Speech Recognition is a complex programming to understand. as you are a beginner go head and see Sphinx4 for recognition written entirely in java and FreeTTS as Synthesizer written entirely in java. first make a simpler recognizer then you can think of Dictation using JNI

If you want to tap into your dictation software's facilities and hook them into your Java program, then start by taking a look at the JavaSpeech API or the Microsoft Speech API along with the Java Native Interface (JNI). The latter isn't a simple project for a beginner. The former, if your dictation software is compatible, could be something in the order of a few weeks of work for a relative beginner.

For making the dictated speech appear in Word or other external program, it's not clear to me where your Java program would fit in here: your dictation software will natively provide the facility of dictating to whatever the currently active window is, presumably.
