Barry, re: "There is an interesting small article about Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products (LHSPF) based in Belgium"

Sorry, sometimes my brain gets ahead of my typing and my typing doesn't catch up. The article is in the "Inside Wall Street" section of this week's Business Week. Not much more to it than I wrote. I think BW is on line.

I agree that continuous speech recognition is key to increasing the installed base of PC's, and also compelling to the replacement/upgrade market. I think you need a miminum of a Pentium 166 (or more), and my off the top of my head guess is that that is less than 15% of the current PC's in use.

You have to wonder if home PC's will someday be an installed product, out of sight like a furnace, security system or intercom system, with screens and voice command centers in most rooms. Still a very immature product category, there is no telling where it will eventually end.
