The kinect is a funny thing with surveillance since people are legitimately afraid of it, a friend of mine turns it around to face the wall when hes not using it... though really the most unsafe webcam around tend to be baby monitors. Te speech API doesn't require a kinect so don't feel like you have to resort to using it, I just recommended the example because it shows how to setup the speech API and I knew it existed, I am sure there are examples on MSDN too.
The ofxGSTT looks pretty cool my only precaution to using that over an embedded speech library is that it requires an internet connection. Having worked in the museum industry its amazing how few have reliable internet access, and then if the web goes down for any reason your installation essentially becomes broken which results in phone calls and email chains. Not that I am trying to discourage you from pursuing that path just lessons learned from my own past experiences
