I have this package also and it is a fairly impressive system.
It features an editor where you can assign scripts to spoken words
(including ARexx! ;))  and a little standalone utility which will
accept speech for working scripts.  The only thing missing, which
i would *really* like to see is C interface code or anything to
interface the library to one's own programs.  I also wonder if
there have been any upgrades since I bought my version of the
package (v1.0) back in 1989.  I tried calling the number for 
Impulse and they were unable to help me.

Also I hear that Perfect Sound has an upgrade for v 3.0 which
includes voice recognition source code.  Does anyone have any
info on this?

Thanks very much,
Veenu
