Speech recognition, as described in this proposal, would make Sugar more effective both directly and indirectly.

#Directly, it provides a capability useful to users learning literacy or language. Children often can spell letter names out loud before they can write them, so this proposal assists learners to make the name-symbol connection.
 +
#Indirectly, this proposal provides a technically marvelous capability, which will inevitably be a subject of fascination to children.  By experimenting with its behaviors in response to various sounds, children will implicitly learn about the phonemic structure of language, and about the technology of speech recognition.
