Hi Dean, This is something I'm *very* interested in, and have been doing some work on my own with, but I've got a lot of catch-up learning to do as far as WE scripting.
I've got a simple speech command working at the moment where I say "read it", it runs a WSR macro, which runs a VBS macro (outside of WE), which opens the WE application object, reads the current line, and closes the WE application object. I agree with your assessment as to how powerful this can be. I'd like to know about the VSR mailing list you mentioned; could you post the info? I'd sure like to find out if anything about VSR has a COM interface. One of my thoughts was about the SmallTalk belt computer from GW. If you had a bluetooth headset, you should be able to walk around with speech input/output, and have a completely hands-free experience!! I've heard that Oqo sells models of that computer more powerful and with more memory than are being sold through GW, so I'm sorry to say that while I'd like to support GW, if they can't carry them, I'll be buying one of those somewhere else (my local Window Eyes dealer says he can get them and showed me one). thanks.
