It seems apparent that speech recognition will be pretty pervasive in a lot of future technologies. How do I get involved?

I'd start by playing with Sphinx. It's a pre-made library that will let you get started with speech reco at an application level. If you just want to build apps that use speech recognition, it might be all you need. If you want to do research into cutting edge speech recognition technologies, dig into the papers and stuff on arxiv and citeseer, and follow that "research" link from the Sphinx wiki.

If you want to get up and running in a SaaS kind-of-way, check out Tropo.com. Great developer support.
