thanks... i am very interested in this now... as my regular work is 
writing articles to campaign for digital rights and against DRM this 
connects with accessibility issues... i only wish i had the programming 
skills to get on board and help for GNU/Linux... i guess i can help with 
advocacy though. theres nothing like being forced into a positioin like 
this to make you wake up and see what its like every day for some people....

actually, if anyone has an old copy of the IBM ViaVoice SDK for Linux, 
i'd be interested to know... i came across XVoice which looked so nice 
and simple but runs on the IBM SDK. they're moving to the Sphinx engine 
but this looks complex to compile... i looked at their mailing list and 
found a lot of stuff i couldnt understand....!

thanks again
