I'm planning on writing a program for Linux that uses text to speech and speech recognition. What are the best tools/libraries for this? Should I use Windows instead to be able to use better tools? The tools need to be easily callable from a console or C program.

For speech recognition there are the various Sphinxes. The different variants have different pros and cons, there is a comparison here Comparison of Sphinx versions. Sphinx 4 is Java, but the others are C, I believe.
