I'd be interested in knowing more about how/why/what you envision the outputs of
this project to be? Do you mean as a pedagogical tool to help students learn
Greek? Is this Classical Greek or Modern Greek? Do people use speech
recognition for pedagogical means in other languages?

Well, voice-activation and speech recognition work is taking place in many
countries. I would assume that there are software engineers in Greece working
on this, if they haven't already implemented it. But that said I don't have any
specific knowledge of this that google can't turn up. i.e. A company called
'Autonomy' with a Greek partner seem to have done this in 2002.[1] One assumes
in the intervening years others have done similar.
