The $199.00 program claims ("with a little tweaking," they say) a 98 percent accuracy rate. System requirements are 64MB of RAM, 150MB of hard drive space and a 16-bit sound card. It's compatible with current high-keystroke applications like AOL, Microsoft Word, Netscape Messenger, Microsoft Outlook Express and Eudora Mail, and a workgroup version is also available. --Peggy LeTrent Or Surf the Net Via the HandsFree Browser http://www.edu-media.com/hfbmain.htm HandsFree Browser is a free speech-recognition tool for Windows machines using 5.x version of Internet Explorer.
