"...Lernout & Hauspie (NASDAQ:LHSPF - news; EASDAQ:LHSP.ED) (L&H), today shipped L&H Voice Xpress(TM) and L&H Voice Xpress Plus(TM), the first software products to combine continuous speech recognition and Natural Language Technology (NLT) to provide document creation, formatting and editing capabilities.
