Speaking of OCR, how good have those apps become lately? I saw Bitware 4.0 plus had it. Don't know if you had to print and scan a document or if it could convert a fax into text without printing first. Corel WordPerfect is the only other one I know about. Also would like to get a program that will record phone conversations. TIA wily

Voice Recognition reminds me of the early stages of OCR (optical character recognition) software. When it first came out it was nifty but one spent more time correcting the errors than typing from scratch. Early Stages :) Its hardly new. IBM started writing software for this in the late seventies. :) Sean
