No you don't. You have a dictation application (an hopeful but
incomplete one as yet).

I suspect the OP is talking about fully integrated voice input where
one's own voice has full command, using reasonable syntax, of all or
most operations on the computer.

True voice recognition, without having to wear a lot of hardware or have
a proprietary microphone 2 inches from your mouth, is something I've
been wanting since I bought my first 128k Mac. It would be so great to
have a third, main input device to enhance the work cycle. Like right
now, without moving my hands off the keyboard and what I'm typing, I'd
like to be able to say, "Computer, open iTunes and play the Bach cello
suites". My Mac responds, "The Yo Yo Ma or the Rostropovich?"

The microphone would want to be connected up to the speakers not only
to get rid of normal feedback - but to make sure the guy on your Mac
podcast didn't start any commands!

Pretty sure I've seen these advertised --- drawing power from USB port

#0) Apple get out of its new and autocratic mode of writing apps
(iPhoto, iTunes) that want to grab all your files and put them where the
_app_ wants to put them, not where _you_ might want to put them.

Hey, these are essentially _cataloging_ apps. So, let users put their
files where they want, and have your apps just a good job of cataloging
them (and following them) wherever they are.

A microphone is used to input sound while speakers output sound. So I'm
not sure what you mean about connecting the mic to the speakers. Like
dictation software, system-based voice recognition systems would have to
be smart enough to discriminate your voice commands from other sounds,
obviously.
