I've often wondered why a computer couldn't have a speech recognition card that
was in essence a second computer dedicated solely to interpreting the speech. IF
the total resources of, say, a pentium 100 were devoted to speech recognition,
could it do the job? And then send the code to the OS of the host computer to
perform the task commanded?
