Regarding the silly question, not the serious question, I have a data
point. I used text-to-speech to output some audio at the same time as
a transcription (Voice Recognition) Activity was listening for input.
I got a "successful" transcription but the results were just a little
better than random guesses. A lot of the blame probably belongs to the
text-to-speech; it would be interesting to see how it would do if the
text-to-speech were replaced with recorded speech. But still, it's not
going to be a serious solution to anything.

BTW, our Open Handset Alliance comrade Nuance just introduced a high-
accuracy transcription service for the iPhone; are we going to get
some of that action?
