I've played with "Speakable Items" in OS9 years ago, when I provided IT support to a local school. 70 Macs, 9 years, 1 volunteer (me) -- sweet and easy. We setup the student accounts so they could log in by speaking their name. Cute process, but very limiting when you wanted to do some real work.

I've also used (and still have) IBM's Via Voice for dictation. Once again, good process, but I end up having to speak unnaturally to get the words correct. It was so much easier when Kirk addressed: "Computer get me the latest data on . . . "

And yes, Star Trek IV was the best of the movies. My wife loves the line, "Cap'n! There be whales here!"
