application-developmentvoice recognition
If I'm developing an Android app that uses TTS and Voice recognition, which libraries are used for the same voice recognition and speech on Ubuntu?
I'm assuming espeak for text to speech, but I'm unsure which voice recognition library and dictionary/learning/calibration system is used for voice recognition.
I'ld like to make the app available on Ubuntu Desktop.
as well as test it outside an emulator
No, with the current set of software for Ubuntu, it is not possible to login by voice.
There is no software to allow you to do this. Voice recognition is still a very new and imperfect technology. Everyone can agree it would be cool and high-tech to walk up to your computer, say something, have it say "Access Granted" and log us in. But right now, we can only dream.
To create a secure voice login would require an extraordinary amount of computer power to accurately analyze the voice. Apple's Siri sends the data to servers to have them report back what was said, because it does not have the power to do it on it's own.
However, I think it would be extremely cool and is a great idea. If you would like to get the ball rolling, head over to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com site and start the discussion there. You'll get feedback from lots of people including Ubuntu developers, and there if enough people think it's a good idea it'll happen.
You can use Ubuntu Touch Emulator

Is there an Ubuntu Touch emulator or a way to install it in a VM?

You may use Google's webspeech API for your application. It uses the same technology as used on android.
