Hmm. I fantasize that this could be your job -- hacking xvoice. It'd be great, though of course I am leery of anyone with an aol.com email address :) Two things: * why exactly would she want to partner with you? What would you do? * It might be worth mentioning Ed Dunagin to her (a frequent poster on the xvoice list); he's working on Linux for the disabled as well right now. http://www.core.com/~edunagin. Let me know what happens! I am digging out from under the boxes. I'm hoping I'll be able to get back into xvoice-sphinx in a week or two... j
