Michael and Barry, re: Speech recognition

A question, if speech recognition is built into the O.S. will it still have to be built into each applications?

A comment, to me and I think others, speech "command and control" would be as or more important than the ability to transfer speech to text. For instance, to be able to say "next", "back", "scroll down", "respond" from an SI note would be faster, easier. Same with most other software. I have read that this will be incorporated into future versions from IBM and Dragon, but I don't know where this stands.

It is interesting that all this technology seems to be coming together at the same time that DVD is reaching acceptance, digital TV broadcast is on the horizon, and processor and graphics power are reaching the ability to handle all these functions. This should enable some VERY interesting products starting in late 1998, early 1999. The only trailing technology seems to be large flat screens at reasonable prices.
