xlsior, actaully for now, just to run on my PC, the sourceforge once from above has exes and source so it's pretty cool. Years ago I downloaded 300MB of Microsofts speech SDK, but never got round to using it. I just want to use it to speed up my forum posts and emails and manuals that I write. I have used speech recog before with pretty goods results but my package was limited and had bugs and is no longer supported so I want to try another.
