MS Windows-based voice command systems (fwd)

I think you've already gotten some good advice on this, but here's some 
additional input...and CHEAP.  You need a sound card for this.

Dragon systems (the Dragon dictate folks) makes/made a product called 
Talk-To Plus, which is a voice navigation program.  We've found it to be 
quite serviceable.

the great thing is that it is bundled with a piece of software that has 
been discontinued, so you can get them both for $2.99.  YUP. ...two ninety 
nine.  At that price you can't afford NOT to try it.

Call Surplus Software at 1-800-753-7877 and order any of the following:

Planit Earth (PRODUCT ORDER # IS PEAR)
Planit Adrenaline (PADAR)
Planit Paradise (PPAR)

These are NEW (not used) products...I think Talk TO Plus is still a viable 
product, but the Planit series was axed, so the price came tumbling.

At these prices they may go fast (we paid $15 at the first 
reduction....this is clearance sale now)

We just use the sound card (SB16) that came with our computers and the 
desktop microphone.  A friend also has this and finds that he can issue 
commands effectively from across the room.

I think $400 is too much for a navigation only program....check out 
TalkTo Plus...it's a nice program.
