See also Softape's "Tic Tac Talker / Spectrum Analysis" and "Talking
Calculator".  The Spectrum Analysis program is an FFT in assembly
language, and if memory serves it's used in Tic Tac Talker to allow
voice control of a tic tac toe game.  It only understands about four words,
which it learns by listening to you speak.

Both of the above were distributed on cassette tape.
