[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Looking for Speech Recognition

sean@cs.tamu.edu (Sean Graves) (04/02/91)

I am looking to buy some speech recognition equipment for our lab.  However,
I haven't found much to choose from.  I am looking for: 

  IBM PC compatibility
  reliability
  programmability
  decent vocabulary size
  contiunous speech would be nice


The two systems I have received information on are by Covox ($220) and
TI ($1800 or $1170 with educational discount).  The TI system came out
in 1985 and TI support is suspect, so I am not too excited about it.

I am sure that there are other good systems out there, but have not found
them.  There is a nice one for the Mac called Voice Navigator, but it is
not available for the PC.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance
