rick,
Except that the author bases his argument on an inaccurate premise. See:
http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/ for an excellent speech recognizer. It's open
source (has been for at least a decade). In fact, the Apple (who the author
omitted) and Microsoft both based their speech recognizers on Sphinx (I know, I
worked in the ATG research team at Apple that developed their speech
recognizer). The Festival project (Google it), also partly hosted at CMU, is a
world-class speech synthesizer. Also open source and free to all. And, there
are others (eSpeak - based on Festival, GPL and free).
Cheers,
Brad

yesterday. Essentially it involves masses of people creating binary
classifiers in a economic market system, similar to how content is
created on the web today (though with a micropayment system rather than
advertising supported model).
