I honestly can't see Apple doing speech recognition. It's good, but it's only 99% good, and Apple are known for being perfectionists.

I'm not sure about mapping, it also doesn't seem like an Apple product to me, but I can't really articulate why.

That is a cliche, and an incorrect one. Take autocorrect for instance - hardly a perfect product. (http://damnyouautocorrect.com/)

You sometimes see one or two Apple people at speech conferences, at least it was true 2-3 years ago. I cannot imagine that not to be the case anymore.
