I am going to have to do some digging (or hope Julius sees this
post because I forget the systems name) but there is a voice
activation system availaable in Ottawa that will:

        recognize a number of voices
        controle modules (avail from Radio Shack among others) to turn
	light on or off or dim, turn computer on or off, open doors etc

It uses off the shelf components, mostly American I think.  The
controle unit is pricy though about $2200.00 canadian.

It very good for severly hadicapped to be ble to say *FRED* or
whatever name you give your system, TELEVISION ON or FRED COMPUTER
ON  or whatever piece of electrical household equipment you have
fitted with a contole module.

It is not a cheap system but it works exceptionaly well
