Command line interface/tool for Mountain Lion's dictation app?

Question

Lots of people know about the Mac OS X command line tool say, which performs text-to-speech on a Mac from the terminal:

sh $ say Hello World!

Is there a command-line tool available for the Mountain Lion dictation application -- something that does speech-to-text?

Apple documentation doesn't seem to mention anything, but I wouldn't be surprised either if there is an undocumented CLI for the Dictation service hidden somewhere in OS X.

You need to invoke the SpeechApplicationServer.app, using AppleScript. More details here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/127366/speechrecognitionserver-not-found-in-mavericks-with-applescript
