MS SAPI sdk equivalent on OSX

Question

I'm looking for an SDK that would allow me to have speech recognition on a OSX application.

I already have a working code for windows using sapi, to get speech recognition info from an audio file, and i would like to see how to do this in osx since something like SAPI is not available.

Thanks!

The OS X equivalent is the Speech Recognition service:

Note that the Speech Recognition service is limited to listening for predefined command phrases. It cannot be used for dictation.
