Since I played "Kennedy Approach" on the C64 I dream of such a voice recognition ATC simulator. I have planned to program my own with such a limited vocabulary since more than 10 years. Well, in my next live then.

You can outsource the voice recognition. Windows[1] and Mac OS[2] both seem to include speeech recognition APIs these days, and of course, what with it being 2014, there are online APIs[3] and forthcoming browser support[4]. All of them appear to support limited command grammars, which is perfect for this sort of simulation.

Check out Tower 2011 - it supports voice commands.
