Thanks for that post, Susan! I will get hold of Dragon 10.0 and play around... My main concern is as a developer not a user though. My objective is a FOSS GUI running on a FOSS SR-engine. I can see a path to accomplishing this: 1) pull over a closed source engine 2) create the FOSS GUI for Linux that implements (1), and sends speech-data back to a central database (such as VoxForge) 3) Once this database is suitably populated, we can crank up Sphinx, and we will have everything FOSS. I feel strongly the Linux community needs a raw SAPI-compliant Speech-Recognition Engine, so it can build a FOSS GUI. This is the reason I was looking at porting the Vista engine. I don't know whether the Dragon port exposes a raw API. I'll contact the maintainer. Sam
