You must be kidding.  You want a machine that can I/O CD quality sound,
and you want to resort to a 12-character alphabet?  Why not just
program it for voice recognition?

Speaking of which, is there such a program available for the NeXT already
(a voice-command recognition program, that is)?  No matter how primitive,
I would like to hear about it.  If it can be done for $100 on the
Amiga, I can't imagine it would be difficult to do at least as well
on a NeXT. I have visions of computerizing my entire house...
