It features an editor where you can assign scripts to spoken words (including ARexx! ;)) and a little standalone utility which will accept speech for working scripts. The only thing missing, which i would *really* like to see is C interface code or anything to interface the library to one's own programs. I also wonder if there have been any upgrades since I bought my version of the package (v1.0) back in 1989. I tried calling the number for Impulse and they were unable to help me. Also I hear that Perfect Sound has an upgrade for v 3.0 which includes voice recognition source code. Does anyone have any info on this? Thanks very much, Veenu vrr@cbnewsj.att.com

Can't you interface your programs to Arexx and connect up the two via Arexx? I thought interfacing programs is what Arexx was for (amongst other things) so that vendors don't have to come up with large numbers of interface routines for the various languages (let see, there's C, Modula, Basic, Assembler, C++, etc.).
