James! I appreciate your interset in this problem, There is already a solution available in Windows98/NT from Leaenout & Hauspie Speech Products NV and also from Speechworks International,they are there on the web.But I do not want to use Windows.I have to kep costs down to directly compete with people who own Internet Kiosks and charge about $ 1.5 per hour to surf the Internet. My reasoning is simple,a lot more people know to use the telephone and this is a way to let a lot of people know about Linux directly. Will keep you informed.
