	I also d/l'd this, but I haven't gotten to actually try it yet (waiting
on a good microphone). I did start it up and click the buttons, though :-)

	Has anyone considered the possibility of hacking one of IBM's demos
into a simple "black box" kind of interface? I don't know any C++, so I'm kind
of helpless at the moment to do it myself, but what I have in mind is basically
just a console app that takes in some audio and spits back some text. This
could be glued into, say, a perl interface that then does stuff based on the
text (this part I can do!). Perhaps it could be a simple daemon that listens
for mic input, and when it gets some, converts it to text and sends it out on
port xxx. Then you write yourself an interface that acts like a client,
connects to port whatever, and does something when it receives text from the
socket. Whammo-- you have a voice-shell.

	I have some more concrete ideas on how this shell could be set up, but
it's all pretty academic until I can find a way to convert the voice into text.
(C'mon, isn't that the easy part? ;-)). Anyone have any suggestions?
