My experience is tiny: an Ericsson mobile phone that you can talk to and it will call the person you mention by name, so this is definitely possible and may be a future trend. Think about the accessibility potential. Blind and other disabled people have as their home page a page with a search tool where it is possible to use your microphone and tell the software what (video) you are looking for.

My bolding. There is now a new element in your original post:
  • Speech recognition in search
  • Does anyone have any experience in the application and analysis of speech recognition in SEO?
Even if SEO is related to search that is another deeper question. You have mentioned some sites yourself. Try a relevant KW search. Personally I would also looked on sites (using the site operator) and forums for mobile phone companies, for Search engines and browser companies. You may find som input there, too.
