I have recently become interested in the use of Speech Synthesis and Voice
Recognition on the PC.  What I want to know is are there any _good_
sounding synthesizers, and how good does the recognition work.  For the
sake of argument, let's say money is no object, but also I want to know
about the lower priced boards, like Hearsay 1000.  How much help can
a VR system be in terms of time saved from typing?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

E-mail to me and I will post a summary if necessary.

Thanks.
