Can I use OS X 10.8's speech recognition/dictation without a GUI?

Ideally I would like to use 10.8's/Mountain Lion's dictation feature from Python, without a GUI. As far as I can tell dictation is currently only supported by using the UITextInput protocol, which implies a GUI (correct?).

I think you want the Speech Framework. SFSpeechRecognizer et al. I don't believe this requires a window session on macOS as this is part of AVFoundation, though I'm not 100% certain. Try it and see. :-)
