Chuck,

I'm curious about a few things.  iListen was made possible because of an agreement between MacSpeech and Phillips, correct?  The agreement basically alowed MacSpeech to port Phillips's continuous speech recognition engine to the Mac.  Now what happened after the initial port?  Did MacSpeech and Phillips go their separate ways, or has Phillips continued to make available bug fixes and enhancements to their speech engine, or have all the speech engine improvements for iListen come from MacSpeech, and will continue to come from MacSpeech?  Has FreeSpeech been abandoned by Phillips just like IBM has abandoned ViaVoice?

Thanks...

Todd
