How can I have iPhone send data back to my Mac

I have an idea for a project. To make my idea possible, I plan to use the NSSpeechRecognizer, or speech recognition on my iPod (really any form of speech recognition). Then, I want my iPod to send what it heard back to my mac as a string. I would like to avoid using iCloud, but if I have to use it, I am okay with that. So for example, I could say "Hello" to my iPod, and my Mac would somehow get the string "Hello" from my iPod as input to a program. Is this possible?
