Deri,
Thanks for the info. Especially about the free system. Now I've just
got to find some time to get it organised!!

Hi Rayna,
Glad you're using Linux. :-)
IBMs ViaVoice is a commercial product available for Linux.
If you want to look for something free, :-), Carnegie Mellon University has a
project called Sphinx. See:-
http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/Sphinx.html
I haven't used either of these products, and peoples mileage with Voice
Recognition on the list has varied.
You will need a microphone and a sound digitiser card (with a Linux driver)
attached to you computer.
Cheers
Deri
