I wish some company will develope a voice recognition or voice transcriber module that I can connect my Olympus DS 150 or a microphone/dictaphone directly (sort of like Naturally speaking or via voice), so I can dictate directly to my Prism and transcribe directly to text since we can now print directly from Wordsmith. Just wishful thinking, who knows it may become a reality someday. IBM or L&H developer, hope you are reading this.

I agree this could be a hot module.

Yer a man after my own heart -- I own one, too.
But if you check the specs, I think it requires AT LEAST a 166Mhz chip to get speech-to-text.
This is why M$ has put it (I'm pretty certain, based on reports) into their next ver. of 'CE.

Still, the DS 150 is so small & light, I don't mind carrying it. Batt. life & sound are awesome.

The M$ implementation remains to be seen, meanwhile....

IBM built a prototype for Palm, they may have had a Springboard now that I think about it, anywyas...they said it was merely to show what developers what was possible and their intent was for them to license the software from IBM rather than have IBM make hardware.
