I am in the market for a decent inexpensive voice recognition board.
Has anyone had any experience with Voice Command by Interpath,
VocaLink SRC-LC by Interstate Voice Products or IntroVoice VI by the
Voice Connection?
I would like to keep the price under $600.00. Anyone have any suggestions?

I want to set up a pc to monitor a phone line, answer on ring, respond in
voice, and recognize callers input from touchtone tones.

There might be a later model available, but you should check out the
CallText 5050 from the folks at Speech Plus. At the time, I think that
it came in two versions: one was an accessory card that plugged into
your favorite IBM XT compatible, and the other was an external box with
a power supply that one communicated with over a serial line. We went
with the external version because of the obvious advantage of flexibility
in deciding what computer to hook it up to, i.e., not necessarily a PC.
The price of the external box was in the neighborhood of $2000 (US).
Unfortunately, I'm at home and don't have the manuals with me. Drop
me a line if you want more details.
