Voice recognition using Java.... How to????

[jal_desai]

hi ppl/.... hope ur all good.. well i have a query.. i have selected voice recognition using Java as my 6month project in final year... are there any API s or algorithms avai;lable to get sound from microphone and after matching it with already stored reference phrases, trigger some event on the computer....
like when i say "Play" , the software (configured with media player) start playing the song.. saying "Next" goes to the other song.... likewise...

any website reference or innovative thought is very much welcome...
