Hi all,
	I'm currently working in the area of speech recognition using
neural networks and would be grateful if anybody could help in relation
to the following

* does anybody know of any speech acquisition boards for PCs.  We
  are currently using an existing database of sounds but wish to 
  record and process our own.  What we are looking for is something
  that will acquire, preprocess and digitize the speech signal as
  well as providing some means of feature extraction.

* has anybody tried implementing neural networks using INMOS transputers?
  I haven't started getting into it and am wondering whether it is worth
  the effort.

* are there many people out there working on neural network based speech
  recognition?  if there is, I think there should really be another
  newgroup set up specifically for this subject.  This last point is
  just an idea but help on the other two would be gratefully 
  appreciated.
