Sorry, there is no hardware (aside from a simple digitizer to capture
the sound of course).  Apple's speech recognition is 100% software.

The original implementation on 68K Macs used an AT&T DSP coprocessor
to do the crunching because the 68K didn't have enough oomph to do it
by itself, but the PowerPC implementation relies on nothing but the
CPU.
