"ComWear", voice interfaces

The name issue is still floating, if a decision hasn't been made?
just in case;
Although Circuitwear sounds nice, my first thought of it was related to tight

>HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMAND AND CONTROL TOOL CALLED
>"MEMOMASTER:
>MemoMaster is the first program ever that allows you to use full
>question/answer, statement/response repartee to interact with 
>and control your computer.  There is no need to memorize complex key
>combinations or a small set of two or three word commands.  
>MemoMaster allows you to enter and retrieve memos, reminders, and lists 
>into your computer's memory using natural language.  In addition to 
>leaving memos and reminders for yourself, you can also control computer 
>tasks as well as handle messaging from the MemoMaster dialog box using
>natural language statements and commands.  

>Besides the value of having a convenient way to input and request 
>factual information, probably the most useful time saver MemoMaster 
>offer's is the ability to send memos, faxes, and email to people just by 
>asking in your own words: there is no need to open programs or folders.

phases. The latter may lead to some betas for the 'Comwear' group's apps and
experimentation.
