Dave, I've been investigating this same issue and haven't found anybody using speech that has attempted to use their software. It is a little cost prohibitive to purchase and then find out it won't work with speech. I too would like to know and guess I will have to do it the hard way. Pat Tice with handihams didn't know of anybody either so we are on our own! 73 de Brian, k5in ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Simpson" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2003 8:53 PM Subject: IC706: access to menus. > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > > ------=_NextPart_000_00C7_01C31298.6C8FD3C0 > Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > Hi, everyone. > I just joined the list.
