Check out the Java Roguelike Engine Project. The goal of this project is to "make it easy for anyone to create their own variant of a Roguelike game, and to make it possible for programmers to create truly outstanding variants". Hmmm... a speech controlled rogue might make a good demo for Sphinx-4.

Over at Microsoft's research lab, they've built a singing speech synthesiser. You define a song in terms of lyrics and music (via MIDI), and Whistler will render the song with vocals.

It doesn't look like you can download the program, nor does it look to be open source, so I guess all you can do for now is listen to the three audio samples. Still... it's pretty neat.
