Running a background (speech recognition) application through Win Runtime in Javascript

Question

Is there a way to launch a background application (console app) and monitor its exit code from within a windows metro javascript app? Or is there a way to utilize the windows speech API from within metro style Javascript apps?  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27225
