Could be general hearing loss: many cell phone users turn the volume up so loud that everyone around them is perforce a participant in the conversation. I...
I do not have a cell phone because I do not want that long an umbilical to anyone. That way, I cannot lose the phone and have everyone find out who my...

"Chuck-speak" is a bit more mellifluous than "Chuckism", but whatever! For example: Does Chuck speak of bad-smelling boy cows' waste, or the bad-smelling...
Hi Bruce -- you are working way to hard on this! ;-) As for Vista... why not just stick with what works - at least until MS comes out with at least 2 Service...

Quentin, ... Why would this potential problem not exist for every single speech recognition program, even ViaVoice? You would have to have a pretty crappy ...
... crappy ... No idea. I have never tried working the microphone and speakers at the same time. In fact it never occurred to me to try this. Can it be done? ...
Hi Quentin --- Great fun. While I regard the risk as merely conjectural at best, I just love this comment from Microsoft: "it would be unlikely the user...

Ordinarily I am not given to pouring fuel on a fire, but since there is so little smoke here, why not! I opened up my Windows sound recorder and positioned the...

Thanks very much for the guidance. Reading the W3C Speech Recognition Grammar spec led me to believe I could use the xml:base attribute to specify a URI and...
