  I saw the FOX TV-network program "Beyond Tomorrow" a month back.  In the
program they introduced the Italian Computer Maker Olivetti which has
successfully developed a voice recognition program plus hardware.  The program
converts spoken words into ascii characters.  Therefore the technology seems
to be more advanced than what the discussions in this newsgroup suggest.  Of
course it might be too expensive for hackers right now.
