Dragon Dictate is reputed to be reasonably good for Windows. I don't really know what's around for *nix but a lot of researchers would be using *nix for their development platform. DARPA is the major funder of research in this area (Echelon, etc.) and makes a good search term. http://www.google.com/search?q=darpa+speech+recognition+software+download Generally speaking, existing technology allows for pretty good results with training of the speech recognition system to understand the particular voice and some care on the part of the speaker to speak clearly. Recognising speech in typical recodings of conversational speech between unknown parties is a much harder task. Andrew -- No added Sugar. Not tested on animals.
