I don't really think we need to worry too much about Americans, do we? I'll say it again: there used to be a voice recognition system for the ZX81 - ok, it was slow, but that's hardly surprising for the ZX81, is it? Also, our science teacher at secondary school had a limited word recognition system for the BBC B - which used a limited vocabulary. So don't tell me the SAM can't do it! -AG
