Stew,

Forgive me for butting in here, but I wanted to suggest that before
making any decision on your speech package, try a demo of
Vocal-eyes.  The support is unmatched in my opinion, and it is a
very powerful program and easy to use as well.  The author of the
program from gw micro is constantly participating in this echo and
is very committed to being sensitive to our needs as users.  Just
leave a message here to Doug Geoffray requesting a demo.  He will
get the message for sure, if he hasn't already gotten to you.  You
won't regret it, I assure you.  Nice to have you on the echo...

Best regards, Rick

Steve,

It is hard to say how you will benefit from a better speech program,
however, the best way for you to find that out is to try the different
demos aroun.  I would definately try the flipper demo and the Vocal eyes
demo.  I recently listened to a taped demo of the latest version of vos
and quite frankly, it seemed to me that vos is very far behind its
competitors.  Either the demo was very poorly done, or the features
available just did not match up to those available with Flipper or Vocal
Eyes.  Please don't get me wrong, as I am not trying to knock anyones
product, but simply stating my opinion.  Try to get a hold of the demos
I mentioned and you can draw your own conclusions.  Good luck and nice
hearing from you...

Regards,
Rick
