Ubuntu does not come with one, no. But I know there is one that comes with the Xandros Linux OS that ships with the EeePC. I'm using it right now! It's called VoiceCommand.. But after some googling, it doesn't look like anyone other than EeePC users are using it.
You can install Dragon Naturally Speaking and use it under wine, but no no voice commands.
It is sad to see Linux lag so far behind on this, although I acknowledge the technical difficulties of voice recognition.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

You can try gnome-voice-control though, I've never used it:
Code:sudo apt-get install gnome-voice-control
Don't try to make something "fast" until you are able to quantify "slow".
I just did that, lol .The problem is I can't start it.If I type:
"gnome-voice-control" it "bash: gnome-voice-control: command not found"
Where is my package?How can I start it?I couldn't find it under "Applications" or "System"....
Try:
If nothing comes back it could be a panel applet. Try right clicking on the panel and click Add To Panel and see if you can find it.Code:dpkg -L gnome-voice-control | grep bin/
Don't try to make something "fast" until you are able to quantify "slow".
It is a panel applet, but when I try to add it I get:
"Error
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_VoiceControlApplet".Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
Why?
As I said, I've never used it but only know of its existence. There is a bug on launchpad that sounds similar to your problem though: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ol/+bug/219303
Don't try to make something "fast" until you are able to quantify "slow".
It appears that the server file is pointing in the wrong location.
Open up the file
Then on the fifth line, changeCode:sudo gedit /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_VoiceControlApplet_Factory.server
to this:Code:location="/usr/libexec/voice_control_applet">
Now it should open up with no problems whatsoever.Code:location="/usr/lib/gnome-voice-control/voice_control_applet">
Now... the hard part, trying to figure out how it works... (So far I've managed to get it to recognise when I speak).
