Some work well with speech and some do not.  Unfortunately, I am not sure
how one can tell which work well with speech without trying it out.  Of
course, if you know someone who has already used the cd then you know it
works with speech.  Sorry I cannot be of much help.  I too am interested in
this subject and am about to buy a cd for my computer and become even more
interested.
