You don't mention any part numbers, but I found this:
http://www.imagesco.com/articles/speech/speech-recognition-tutorial01.html looks like you can get parts from the site - pricey though! Oh here's another vendor: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/comp.speech/Section6/Recognition/hm2007.html
I also found http://www.mikroe.com/click/speakup/ though it's unclear from a very quick look whether the VS1053 could be used without a MCU attached
There's also this: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/13316 may not be the route you want to take though...

Hi,

Here's a pretty good site for test equipment and electronic supplies:

I am posting because i had a good experience with them over the past few years. I had one issue where i got charged too much for shipping and they corrected it very quickly. The prices on that site seem to be quite low too, such that i was able to buy stuff i would not have bought if it were not for the low price they offer.
