Since then it's been pretty much standard practice industry-wide to announce that you're going to produce something so many months or even years in advance. If nothing else, it gets your name in the papers.
Note the mention of "minimum order requirements". Last time we talked about ths, the minimum order was 1000. I suspect Wizard bought the right to distribute a thousand or whatever licenses. But they may not actually have any products of their own to go along with the licenses.
I think if IBM was smart, they'd hop on the nopernicus bandwagon, put some resources into getting that ready for prime-time, and then sell the speech engine like DEC does (through an OEM). It's $50 for DECTalk software. And that's cheap. JAWS is still hundreds of dollars. IBM's home page reader was $150. I don't know if that's even still available. But ViaVoice is better than DECTalk software and they could probably charge more for it especially if it worked with a GUI interface equivalent to JAWS for Windows.

Sorry, if you ever get around to following those links you'll end up with the same question we have. Either that, or we're all exceptionally obtuse.
