I posted this several weeks ago (I think) with no response, so I want 
to try one more time before I dump a lot of money into this.
Please pardon the bandwidth.

I have been very interested in speech synthesis and voice recognition
for quite a while (had a nice speech synthesizer for my Commodore 64,
rest it's soul). November PC Tech Journal has an ad in the back from
"COVOX,Inc." (TM?) listing "Speech Products" including "Synthesizer-
$79.95", "Digitizer-$89.95" and "Voice Recognition-$49.95".

Anyone familiar with these products? I got money for these for Christmas
but don't want anyone to waste money on junk.  :v(
The prices sound almost too good to be true....

I commonly use two computers/terminals at once, and it would be *nice*
to talk to one while I type on another. 8-]

I also want to investigate the possibility of developing applications
for the handicapped (or the lazy).

If no one has heard of these products I will probably try them and
let you know what I think.
