Wow, thanks for the help!

If I'm going to start by just having the voice recognition side of things on a computer, I assume the easiest way would be to just send the commands over SSH?

The idea of getting simple speech recognition working with the built in microphone is really exciting, but it's way over my head. I have no knowledge of C

If it was possible to get Python working on the Kindle, I might be able to give it more of a try, but that's probably a crazy way to go about it.

Thanks again!

Edit:

Is there a simpler way to send commands to the Kindle than SSH? It seems a little bit overkill. It also has the downside that you need to fiddle around with drivers to get SSH over USB working.

Telnet?
