What do you think about voice recognition?

If i remember well, it's enabled in the NewtonOS (?)

I have seen a lot of commercial software for OS 9 and OS X for enabling
voice recognition for specific software (iTunes, iPhoto, etc etc etc).

I think that the MessagePad could become one of the best platform for
people with handicaps,
just using its own microphone is not the best, but D.Padilla's did the
most enanchements on helping the voice/sounds recognition in the
MessagePad.

This is not to say that the HWR for Newton is bad. It's amazingly
good.=20=

   But still less effective than typing, albeit (for some reason) more=20
