I have the same problem with it. I actaully was just about to make a post about it. It is a speech recognition program, and it screws up my comp. In IE, it will start randomly typing things in the search bar, and is a huge pain in the ass. I searched my comp and deleted anything containing sapisvr but it still keeps showing up. I believe it is tied to Office, but I'm not sure.

Funny quote while reading up on it:

It's a lot like this.
Me: "Testing, 1, 2, 3 period. This is a cool technology which lets be dictate letters."

It: "...And when the third ring falls, the enemy of technology witches will dictate the letters of accord"
