Hi :)
For people following the "Voice Recognition" threads i thought you might
find this post interesting.  If it's true then it explains a lot =
especially about how this area seems to have gone backwards over the last
20 or so years instead of forwards.

I wonder if anything could be done about it?  Surely they are breaking
"equality" legislation in many countries.  I think that is too much of any
of us to take on and i'm sure people have already tried but it might be
worth someone exploring someday.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
