I like these projects but they all have one flaw: the "open source" part refers only to the easy frontend, not to the backend doing the heavy lifting. With time, chances of CMUSphinx succeeding are getting lower because everybody is using proprietary APIs.

That's a great idea as for the next engine to add. The plan is to have multiple ones and not only Google's Speech API.
