I think we really need to get further along in the project before we can or need to make any major
choices.

The main thing that's missing at this point is data.  It would be good to have some
non-copyrighted transcripts along with voices from hundreds of people to build a
speaker-independent speech model.  But, again, we need to get things working before we can move on
to this step.
