I think that's hard to say. The solutions I've seen so far don't seem to require any huge insight. (Don't read that as "no insight". I'm not dissin' any voice recognition software engineers here. It's a tough problem.) They look like they just bang away at the problem as hard as they can, and let the hardware improve their performance. That may be good enough, eventually (I don't know how much CPU power would get you "good enough"). If someone does make a huge leap in the software, that would be enough to make them the leader. Voice recognition seems to be in between the two. It seems like it might be reasonable if we just had enough horsepower. But it could be killer if we found an efficient solution. Whomever owns the inspiration will reap the rewards, in that case. But that's just my almost totally uninformed guesstimate. Tom CF
