I want to talk in my game

I want to reintroduce an old staple of gaming with an updated twist. Some of you old gamers out there should remember text-based games where you had to type what you were doing like "go north" and "get sword". I don't want to use it for directing the player character, but in conversations with NPCs. I would like to not only be able to type conversations, but speak into the microphone and have the text appear on screen and be understood by the NPC in the conversation. I think I will need the following: -- speech-to-text software. This is something that Windows already has, but I don't know how to access it in my application (or if it can be done at all). -- a thesaurus database. -- a function that parses the sentence and references the thesaurus database to convert it to a set of values. I think that's all I will need. Any thoughts?

You might wanna check for some other software first, microsoft's software is mainly used because it usually comes pre-installed with windows, not for it's quality.
