Carlos, David and Kanwen from McGill University developed a cool voice recognition system using a FPGA development system.

“My team (David and Kanwen) and I implemented a speech recognition system on an FPGA development board (Altera DE2 Board) for the Design Project course at McGill (ECSE 949). We did this in two step: first we wrote a prototype for the algorithm in MATLAB (I’ll may be port it to Octave), and then we did the hardware description for the FPGA.”
