Interface, I don't know. A good post on Yahoo dealing with magicTalk VUI internet/interaction is #21556. Hope this helps. BTW, I use (DBC.com) stockedge online for RT. Excellent data, intradays w/o indicators; historicals with indicators that update as it's happening; time & sales... about 100 a month with 1 exchange fee, but cheaper if you prepay. I intend to get Level II, but can't quite spring for it yet. D.A.

Raven, I don't think that the service is able to avoid anything that a search engine wouldn't. The VUI is only the interface, but the filters it utilizes is what I am referring to. Did You hear otherwise from someone? I saw a desktop version of Portico and it looked good. It is nicely designed and has many of the features that Outlook has, and some additional ones like news retrieval and market quotes. I would assume you would load it onto your computer. Of course, the nice thing about Portico is that one will be able to use its VUI without buying any software. I think that is where the relationship with Starfish comes into play with the ability to synchronize with your existing calendar,contacts,e-mail program. Seconds Out
