Hi Sun-Gurus,

Here is the summary of the available speech recognition/synthesis software for
sun running SunOs 4.1.x. Sorry for the delay in my summary.

Speech Recognition Software for SunOs 4.1.x:

1. Voice Commander from In3
---------------------------

IN3 is a speech recognition system. This recognizes the speaker's voice for the
given set of vocabulary. And when the same speaker speaks one of the words in
the vocabulary, IN3 matches and does the action. This is available from:

Command Corp. Inc.
3675 Crestwood Parkway
P.O. Box 956099
Duluth, GA 30136-9502

Phone (404) 925-7950
FAX (404) 925-7924
E-Mail
usenet: ..!emory!gacc!in3

Price: $495.00

2. SayIt from Qualix
--------------------

SayIt lets users create time-saving voice-activated macros that can include any
sequence of keyboard or mouse input. All macros can be activated via voice
commands or keyboard/mouse commands. This dramatically increases user
productivity and makes SayIt two products in one:
   - Voice command software
   - Powerful macro builder

Available from:
        Ph. 1-800-245-UNIX (1-415-572-0200)
        Fax 1-415-572-1300
        E-mail info@qualix.com

NOTE: In the September 93' issue of UnixWorld magazine, a review of SayIt and
In3 has been published.

3. TruVoice from Centigram
--------------------------

Text-to-Speech converter that gives any application the ability to speak. It
converts text into spoken English and Spanish. The demo software looks good. It
could convert most of the written English lines into speech.

Demo version is available in Catalyst CDWARE from SUN.
